 Summer Style Guide for Petite Women

Petite frames (under ≈5′3″/160 cm) thrive in outfits that create the illusion of height and balanced proportions. The secret lies in vertical lines, high waistlines, and well-measured lengths.

1. High-Waist Shorts (2–4″ Inseam)

2. Mini & Midi Dresses

3. A‑Line Skirts & Tailored Trousers

  • Flattering cuts: A-line skirts cinch at the waist and skim over hips; cropped wide-leg or palazzo trousers elongate.

  • Brands: COS, Mango, Jigsaw Petite

  • Fit reference: "A Real Guide to Trousers" offers excellent petite‑fit examples

4. Lightweight Layers & Blazers

5. Slip Dresses & Maxi Styles

  • Slip dresses: Bias-cut styles flatter petite frames; layer under a linen shirt or blazer.

  • Maxis: Choose structured pieces with defined waists and side splits.

  • Sourcing: Zimmermann, Faithfull, COS
