Best spring looks for petite women—complete with brand recommendations and how to get the fit just right using Tellar.co.uk 


Perfect Spring Styles for Petite Women

1. Structured Blazers & Tailored Jackets

  • Why it works: Blazers with defined shoulders and cropped lengths add structure without overwhelming petite frames.

  • What to look for: Opt for one–button cuts, cropped hems, or shoulder pads to balance proportions.

  • Where to shop: Mango, COS, ASOS Petite, Reiss, J.Crew.

2. High‑Rise Tailored Trousers & Culottes

  • Ideal silhouette: A high waist elongates your legs; cropped trousers and culottes add volume without drowning you.

  • Styles to try: Pleated wide-legs, tapered crops, or ankle-skimming flares.

  • Shop suggestions: COS wide-leg trousers, Mango pleated trousers, ASOS Petite tailored pants.

3. Mini and Midi Skirts

  • Mini: Great for compact proportions—choose A-line or wrap styles with defined waists.

  • Midi: Flowy and flattering at mid-calf; pair with heels or ankle boots to elongate your legs.

  • Brands to try: ASOS Petite, Mango, COS, & Other Stories.

4. Waist‑Defined Dresses

  • Why they flatter: Nipped-in waists highlight your natural frame and prevent shapelessness.

  • Best shapes: Fit‑and‑flare, wrap styles, A‑line minis, and true mini dresses.

  • Recommended picks: Reformation mini dresses, Mango wrap minis, COS A-line styles.

5. Cropped Outerwear

  • Perfect layering pieces: Cropped bombers, cropped denim jackets, and bikers finish at your waist—great for petite frames.

  • Shop list: Mango cropped jean jacket, ASOS Petite cropped bombers, COS cropped trench coats.

6. Proportionate Knitwear

  • For suddenly chilly days: Choose lightweight knits with cropped hems or slim fits to avoid drowning your frame.

  • Behind the scenes: Avoid long boxy sweaters; instead go for V‑necks, lightweight cardigans, and ribbed knits.
