We all love a good hack! As a petite woman, I’m always looking for new styling tricks to make my outfits fit and look better. 

A trip to the mall or extensive search online for the newest trend may leave you defeated as a petite person. It’s hard to find petite sizing in every store. But, there are some things you can try that will help you nail your next shopping spree. 

It’s important to note that you will find the best fitting clothes in petite sizing. But, if the piece that you’re looking for is in regular size you can also get it tailored. This takes a little extra time and money, but the end result is worth it!

Also, try to find cropped blouses and tees when petite sizing is unavailable. This will give you the shorter length you need without having to tuck!

Read on to find out more petite fashion hacks that will help you look and feel your best!

Monochromatic

Wearing one color creates a seamless line and enlongates your frame.

Cropped tops

Can’t find petite sized blouses? Opt for a cropped blouse or tee for a better fit.

Small Prints

Stay away from large prints that will overwhelm your look! 

Avoid midi

Be sure to avoid midi lengths at all costs. Wear mini or maxi length pieces that elongate your legs and don’t visually cut your height. 

High waist

High waisted bottoms visually create a longer length for your leg and cinches your waist for a flattering fit. 

Nude shoes

Nude shoes create more length by making a smooth transition from legs to shoes. 

Small accessories

Larger accessories are very distracting, especially for petites. Make sure to go for small, dainty accessories that add to your overall look.
