Petite Clothing

Flatter your silhouette with our petite clothing, designed to fit shorter figures. Our jackets, shirts and knitwear are cut a little shorter to give the illusion of height: look out for investment pieces in leather, suede and silk. Ankle grazer trousers will do just that, and skirts’ hems hit your frame exactly where they’re intended to. Our jeans edit features mom styles, super-skinny fits and on-trend flared legs – and they come with extra stretch for comfort. Browse our dresses for lengths from mini to midaxi, and choose from ditzy florals and statement prints, all with hassle-free returns

Petite FAQs

What does petite mean in clothing sizes?

Petite clothing is designed for shorter women, with proportions adjusted rather than simply made smaller all over. Our versatile petite collection is designed for women around 160cm (5ft 3in), with an inside leg of 74cm. Shorter sleeves, hems and body lengths help collars, waistlines and other shaping sit at the intended place. Fit tends to vary according to the piece’s cut, style and fabric.

What should I look for in petite clothing?

When buying petite clothing, focus on whether the proportions will sit correctly on your particular frame, rather than simply choosing a smaller size. Check that the shoulders and waistline fall where they should, and that the sleeves and hems finish at a comfortable point. Our petite clothing selection caters for women around 160cm (5ft 3in), with trousers cut to a 74cm (29in) inside leg. We also have some extra-short options.

The petite clothing from our womenswear collection is thoughtfully designed and expertly cut to suit your proportions. The basics are sorted with essential tops and leggings, while smart tailoring has workdays covered. If there’s a party in the diary, we have plenty of sophisticated midi and maxi dresses, as well as on-trend jumpsuits.

We know there’s no better feeling than finding trousers and jeans that fit perfectly, so we’ve crafted our petite styles with shorter lengths. That means you enjoy flattering shaping from waist to ankle, without excess material at the hem. High-waisted jeans in deep indigo have a modern feel. If you love the classics, opt for straight-leg or slim-fit options in authentic worn-in washes. They’re made from comfy cotton with a hint of stretch, so they only get softer with age.

Putting together stylish work outfits is easy thanks to our selection of separates. Pair ankle-grazer trousers or a pleated skirt with a single-breasted blazer. As our petite coats and jackets are all downsized, you can be sure the sleeves will be the right length. Plain or patterned blouses are on hand to complete the look. We have understated collared-neck tops made from drapey fabrics, as well as smocked, ruffled and embroidered styles that add some extra detail.

When it’s time to sit back and relax, joggers are your best friends. Choose from slim-fitting and relaxed pairs with cuffed or straight ankles. Supersoft jersey feels gentle on your skin and makes bending and stretching easy. Grab a handy multi-pack of versatile blue or black pairs to get stocked up.
