Tune into Inside Petite Style for an essential episode on wide-leg pants, a key part of the Perfect Petite Pant Formula from the S.P.A.R.K. Style System! Host Angela Foster, Petite style coach and creator of the S.P.A.R.K. Style Method, tackles the challenging but rewarding journey of finding flattering pants and denim for women 5'3" and under. Discover how to choose the right leg shape that makes your butt look great, and is comfortable when sitting, standing, or running around.
In this episode, Angela breaks down wide-leg pants by each of the signature body shapes to help you create the most stylish and flattering outfits. Learn how to achieve the illusion of balance with strategic styling:
- For Signature Shape Number Four, wide-leg pants can be your perfect match, easily creating balance with your smaller hips and thinner thighs when paired with a tailored top like a silk shell, lightweight cotton button-down, or fitted thermal.
- Signature Shape Number Three will also benefit from keeping to slimmer silhouettes up on top, including tissue tees, wrap tops, and sweaters, especially if you want to camouflage anything extra in the middle.
- If you're a Signature Shape Number Six, while wide-leg pants may take a little extra work, you can still wear them! Look for lighter, thinner weight materials like ponty or linen to avoid additional volume, or consider a straight-leg shape for a similar feel that's easier to style.
Plus, unlock universal Petite style tips for all short girls:
- The importance of pant rise and avoiding waistbands that land at the widest part of your stomach.
- Considering going up a size to achieve that desired "slouchy cool girl vibe" and prevent pleats from pulling apart.
- The Victoria Beckham secret to looking longer in wide-legs: always pairing them with super high stilettos or big tall platforms so the hems graze the top of your toes. She herself is likely Petite, being anywhere between 5'2" and 5'4.25".

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
