It’s not easy being petite. Pants droop awkwardly around your ankle (as if you’re smuggling goods down there), jeans always have to be cuffed (or worse, you trip on them all day long), and shirts and jackets never hang exactly right on your short frame (not all sweaters are supposed to look like tunics—nope). Thankfully though, beloved online retailer ASOS has an uber-stylish collection just for the height challenged. Here are five essentials that every petite girl could use.
Paper Dolls Petite Tailored Pant: What’s nice about ASOS is that they carry an array of pieces from diverse brands. This high-rise, tailored pant—from brand Paper Dolls—are one of the hidden gems that make ASOS so great. They will hit you at the perfect length, are super-comfortable, and have (four!) pockets.
ASOS Petite Ultimate Slim Coat: From its own collection, ASOS Petite brings us the LBC—little black coat. The double button, menswear-inspired style is simple and classic—undoubtedly making it last for more than one winter season.
True Decadence Petite Short Sleeve Crop Tee: No more too-boxy, too-long (yes, crop tops can be long on shorties) crop tops with this cobalt blue number from brand True Decadence. Wear it with high-waisted pants, distressed jeans, or (for a boldly blue statement) with a high-rise skirt in a matching hue.
ASOS Petite Exclusive Midi Skater Skirt: Finally, a midi skirt that won’t touch the ground! This petite-designed midi will hit you at the ideal length, and the flowy pleats are super flattering. Try it with a chambray shirt, moto jacket and tee, or a crew neck cashmere sweater.
ASOS Petite Exclusive Trench With Nautical Lining: Nothing is more timeless—or necessary—than a khaki trench coat. Nothing. Petite ladies should not be excluded from the trench-coat crowd, and now they don’t have to be with this classic design from ASOS Petite. The possibilities are endless.
