Being petite comes with its struggles. Not a lot of high street stores or brands have sizes that are specifically made for petite women. Oftentimes, this means getting your items tailored or using petite styling tricks. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but finding clothes that fit without having to get them altered will always remain the goal here!
Important to say is that a petite size refers to clothing that fit women with a height of 163 cm/5ft4 or smaller. So, this means that normal proportions have been adjusted to a smaller frame. Think shorter leg or sleeve length. Most brands carry sizes ranging from XS to XL. If we’re lucky they’re a bit more size inclusive (XXS to XXL), but there’s still much work to be done here.
Logically, even petite sizes are not a one-size-fits-all. But they might make shopping for us petites a bit more enjoyable. So to make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of the high street brands that do carry petite sizes. I hope this will help, and happy shopping!
ASOS petite – a wide range of petite friendly items
Stradivarius – a favourite for jeans and trousers. They have a tall and petite section.
Topshop petite – also via ASOS
Abercrombie & Fitch – they don’t carry petite sizes for all items, but they do for dresses
Zalando – search for petite and a variety of brands pop up
Boohoo – a wide range of petite styles available
