Think silhouette first 

Designs that elongate the silhouette are ideal if you're petite. A jumpsuit is the perfect option, no matter the occasion. Look to features that will enhance your shape, such as a wide-leg, fitted bodice and self-tie belt. For pants, think high-waisted jeans, trousers or wide-leg pants. Our tip? Remember proportions - style with a fitted top and heels.

Say yes to the right dress 

For shorter statures, dresses are ideal for everyday and event dressing. We know that when you're petite, standard mini dresses are often not-so-mini. Our petite collection hosts dresses that are truly mini if you're on the shorter side. Styles with a belt and balloon sleeve create a dreamy, feminine silhouette that will carry you from work to weekend with ease. Looking for a formal dress? A maxi with a front split is the way to go. A ruffled open front will keep you event-ready while ensuring the maxi length doesn't overwhelm your shape. Style your maxi dress for a wedding with strappy high heels and sparkling jewelry. 

Layers with care

When it comes to jackets and coats, our top petite styling tip is to opt for structured, tailored styles. Wear oversized jackets occasionally and casually, but keep fitted styles at the forefront of your wardrobe. Go for cropped blazers and leather jackets to create length in your shape. Team these with high-waisted jeans and heels for a night out, or with cropped trousers for desk duties. In winter, pea coats and cropped wrap coats our top picks for Petites.

Prioritize prints

There's no need to avoid prints when you're petite - it's all about opting for tailored silhouettes. Ease pattern into your wardrobe with ditsy floral blouses, and style back with classic denim or black trousers for work. When you're ready for a bolder look, a printed mini dress is your go-to. Avoid designs with overwhelming prints - look to soft floral and paisley patterns. Wear with white sneakers or nude heels to emphasize the print perfectly.
