Best Petite Brands for Workwear: Styles & Sizing Tips

Why Petite-Specific Workwear Matters

Petite women (typically under 5′4″)| often need garments tailored in proportional ways—shorter inseams, shorter sleeves, higher waistlines. Wearing non‑petite clothes can swamp your frame or require extensive tailoring. Brands with petite ranges focus on these specifics, offering clean cuts and proper proportions.

Styling Petite Workwear: Real Tips

Cropped Blazers & Shackets
Ideal for defining the waistline without engulfing the frame. Brands like Whistles and Reiss excel—Tellar notes that cropped jackets “create height” and that longline styles may overwhelm petites

High-Waisted Pants
Choose slim-straight or cropped flares to elongate legs. Petite-specific rises (e.g. ASOS Petite trousers) benefit from Tellar to match hip-rise proportions

.
Shirts That Fit
Opt for cropped or short-line shirts that nip in at the waist. Whistles Petite, ASOS Petite, and Reiss are recommended

.
Tailored Coats
Mid-thigh trenches and slim-lapel styles from M&S or Reiss work well—avoid bulky shoulders. Check measurements in Tellar to ensure sleeve & shoulder space

.
Streamlined Footwear
Pointed flats, low-profile trainers, and ankle boots keep the line clean and long.
