The Best Jackets for Petite Women: Style, Brands & Fit Solutions

Author: Stylist and brand team at TellarDate: 2025

1. Why Petite Jackets Need Perfect Proportions

For women under 5′4″ (≈162 cm), typical jackets often overwhelm—long sleeves, bulky cuts, low hemlines. Petite-specific pieces resolve this with shorter sleeves, higher waistlines, and slimmer proportions—offering a polished, flattering silhouette.

5. Jacket Styles That Flatter Petite Figures

  2. Suede blazers – Slim materials for a lean silhouette.

  3. Bomber jackets – Natural waist-length sums up the waistline.
