One of spring’s most unexpected trends is the return of track pants — and if you’re confused on how to style them outside of the gym, Hilary Duff has just given Us some ideas. The singer showed off her laid-back, cool mom style in a black and white pair. My favorite thing about the look? At just 5’2”, Duff proved that track pants can be a perfect pick for petites, no tailoring required.
Duff was recently spotted in the comfy pants while walking in Los Angeles. She turned the casual, sporty look into chic athleisure by pairing the pants with a cozy knit sweater, slim white sneakers and sleek designer accessories. Since I’m only 5’0”, I knew I needed to find them for myself. A little searching revealed what I think might be the same pair (or at least a pair that looks like hers, which is just as good): the Adidas Originals Essentials 3-Stripe Parachute Pants, which cost less than $50.

These Adidas track pants look nearly identical to Duff’s, with a similar loose, wide leg fit and the classic three-stripe design down the legs. They’re just as comfy and functional, too, featuring an adjustable elastic waistband for a perfect fit and three pockets to stash small essentials.
While the pants don’t come in petite sizes, Duff proves that this style can work for those of us on the shorter side. This pick appears to hit at the ankle, which means that for a petite person like myself, they’re basically the ideal length. I love the idea of being able to buy these without having to also pay to get them hemmed. And if you’re not petite, don’t worry — the pants still look super stylish with the slightly cropped fit.

Shoppers rave about how comfortable these bottoms feel. One titled their review, “absolutely LOVE these pants,” and wrote, “I expected the fabric to be stiffer and was pleasantly surprised to find they are lightweight track pant fabric that is soft and flowing.”
Another reviewer called them “perfect for traveling,” while someone else praised the petite-friendly design. “As someone with a long torso and short legs, these are the perfect length and especially with the bungee cords at the ankles, I don’t need to get anything hemmed,” they noted.
Soft, lightweight and flowy, these track pants are bound to be a staple in your spring and summer wardrobe. Snag them while you can — sizes are going fast!
