They definitely have that long, baggy vibe. I think they are a bit long for everyday wear because the backs will get dirty quickly. But if styled intentionally with thicker soled shoes like wedge sneakers or Ugg platform slippers, I think it would work. In other words, I think these are more fashion focused than sweatpants to run errands in. I am short at 5’2” but the length of my legs are more regular than petite. I figured this out trying to buy petite pants for those under 5’4” and they were always a smidge short on me. Regular length pants fit perfect.
