Headed out on your first trip of the summer? It’s time to update your wardrobe and add staples that will spice up your summer pieces from last year.

Below are chic petite outfit ideas that you’ll want to copy ASAP. Or, get creative inspo from the individual pieces that will make shopping for your next trip a breeze. Petite sizing can be tough, so we’ve also included helpful tips to keep in mind as you create your own vacation looks.

At the Beach

A swimsuit is a must packing for a beach vacation. When looking for a swimsuit, high-waist bottoms look the best for petite sizes. The high cut makes your legs look extra long and the high waist is so flattering. You’ll also want to look for cover-ups that are not too baggy so that it doesn’t swallow your figure. Don’t forget your fav pair of sunnies!

Out to Dinner

When looking for a dress, shorter inseams are best. Midi lengths or knee length cut your leg length visually. Try an off-the-shoulder style to change up your wardrobe! Add on a necklace with some beading for a fun beachy vibe.

Round of Tennis

Whether it’s tennis, running, or just taking a walk around the local neighborhood you won’t want to forget essential athleisure pieces. This fitted Athleta dress is versatile and is a comfy staple that you won’t want to forget. Add on the free people zip-up for a crisp morning or cool evening workout. Make sure to look for cropped sweatshirts for a more flattering fit for a small torso.

Sightseeing Downtown

You might want to spend a day or two exploring and getting lost downtown. For your excursions, it’s important to wear comfortable shoes and bring a trusty belt bag for easy carry. This halter tank is great for warm weather and it is in a crop style that won't overwhelm a smaller frame.

Shopping Day

Take some time to get those souvenirs and gifts for those back home. You’ll want to wear something loose and comfy as you spend your day browsing the shops. This Lulus romper can be dressed up or down and has a front wrap style that is flattering. Short rompers are great for petite sizes as they are not overwhelming and elongate your legs.

Traveling Home

Stay comfy for the trip home and opt for a chic tank/ biker short combo. For the biker shorts, be sure to find a pair with a short inseam. Sometimes biker shorts have a regular inseam that hits at the knee for petite women. This makes your proportions less balanced. Slip on some birks for a comfy trip home!
