Style Guide - Petite

Petite

Petite ladies are around 5 feet in height choosing the right styles will make sure you make the most of your height. As the saying goes, all good things come in small packages.

Bring out your best:

Pencil skirts are the best option for petites, the Helen skirt is perfect for showing off your petite frame and the Emma skirt with its vertical panelling will elongate. Most importantly choose skirts and dresses which fall around or at the knee so not to swamp your petite frame. A tailored dress will balance proportion so the Lynda dress is a great choice. When it comes to jackets try our Katie Jacket which is shorter in length and has flattering ¾ sleeves. Trouser styles which skim the floor will make your legs appear longer.
