5 Fall Trends and How Petite Women Can Style Them

Fall is here! That means cooler weather, pumpkin spice everything, and a wardrobe refresh for a new season. I’m a huge fan of Fall styles, bring me all the sweaters and boots! I’m 5”1’, so I am always looking for ways to rock seasonal trends while also finding pieces that compliment my petite size. Petite Friends, below I’ve included pieces that are on trend for Fall and that have a flattering fit you will love!

Wide Leg Jeans 

Skinny jeans have slowly been fading into the background as wide leg silhouettes are starting to take over. For us petite ladies, finding an inseam that fits without tailoring is almost impossible. When looking for wide leg bottoms, look for a shorter inseam or go for a cropped style.
