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.

 

Timeless Accessories

Adding on that last accessory is a satisfying finishing touch to any outfit. Look for gold, dainty jewelry for an on-trend, fresh look. These are great gifts that your loved one can add into their weekly rotation.
