Essential Petite Girl Gift Guide

Gift giving season is finally upon us! The holidays are my favorite time of year and I love picking out presents tailored to each of my friends and family. But, finding the perfect gift can be tricky! Sizing and fit preferences are different for everyone. And as a petite woman, it can be especially hard to find pieces that fit well and don’t need additional alterations. In this gift guide, I’ve included ready-to-wear closet staples that will have your petite friends raving over their gift!

Soft Sweaters

Sweaters are a great go-to gift idea that will keep your loved one cozy and warm throughout the winter season. To flatter a petite frame, be sure to pick sweaters that are cropped or fitted so that the shape of the sweater doesn’t overwhelm a small build.

Chic Scarf

Scarves are essential for winter and are a perfect way to add some color to your look! Thinner, shorter scarves are better for petites. Check out scarves that can also double as a small hood or blanket for versatility.

Versatile Bags

Everyone could use a new bag, am I right? Small crossbody’s are on trend and perfect for looking put together for a quick errand or for a trip to see family over the holidays. Also, the smaller style is not too bulky and is great for balancing out a petite look.

Cozy Footwear

During the long, cold winter months cozy footwear is a must have item. These slip-ons are comfy options your loved one will appreciate. Avoid bulky, mid-calf lengths so you don’t run the risk of petite legs looking shorter than they actually are. Also, opt for lighter colors to visually lengthen the leg.
