The Best Petite Clothing for Women That'll Actually Fit Your Shorter Frame

Anthropologie has a well-stocked petite section with shorts, dresses, tops and more. The selection is especially known for its thoughtfully tailored dresses, so you don’t feel like you’re drowning in fabric. The problem with regular dresses is that they can be too long when they are meant to be mini dresses or touching the ground when they are supposed to hit your ankles. These dresses hit the mark with length when you are under 5’4”

While Free People doesn’t have a specific section for petites, their sizing is inclusive of us ladies with shorter legs and torsos. Their shorts fit like a glove and they always have plenty of sizes in stock so you don’t feel like it’s slim pickins’. They also have appropriately lengthed crop tops that don’t fit like a regular shirt. If you’re in the need for some new summer staples, check out their bestsellers.

We love Lane Bryant’s petite plus-size options because of the size range and how cute everything is. From jeans to jumpsuits, their collection gets trendier every time we visit the site. If you’re in the market for a new pair of cropped denim for summer, try these distressed pair.

Their summertime patterns and fabrics have our credit cards constantly burning to buy more. Madewell does denim really well when it comes to petite frames. When you select an item, you can choose between petite, tall, plus and standard to generate the sizes available. You can also find trendy midi dresses with side slits that will help elongate your legs.

Searching for miniskirts and crop tops takes some digging to find the ones that hit you at just the right spot, but if you head over to Topshop, that search may become a bit easier. They’re known for quickly aligning with current trends and we don’t mind the affordable price tag, too. Whether you’re looking for a couple new brunch dresses or comfortable summer tops, you’re sure to find what you need here.

Reformation’s dress selection is a go-to choice for many people (us included). And if you were nervous to shop online here thinking that the dresses would all be way too long on you, think again. This sustainable brand is filled to the brim with petite options for any occasion.

We love Aerie for their styles, unfiltered photos and inclusive sizing. If you’re a petite gal, odds are finding leggings is almost as annoying as finding jeans because ankle-bunching is not cute. At Aerie, you can select the “short” version of your size for any style. Aerie is known for their buttery soft leggings and workout gear, so if you’re sick of your stretchy pants being horrifically too long, they’ve got you covered.

ASOS has nearly 3,000 petite styles in their arsenal, and we thank them for that. Their flare and straight legged pants are super stylish and comfortable, but if you’re shopping petite, don’t sleep on their rompers and jumpsuits. Say goodbye to any inseam gapping and straps that are way too long.
