Petite Fashion Retailers
I’m only just starting to appreciate all of the options out there for petite women like myself. Before doing my research, I only knew of a few stores that sell petite clothes to an older demographic and were not as fashion-forward as I would like.
It all started when I was looking for some black jeans at Express last fall season. I fell in love with a pair, but they were extremely long on me. That’s when I went online to look some more, and I found the same pair in a petite size! It got me wondering what other retailers dedicate part of their website to petite fashion.
Here’s my top 3 go-to retailers when shopping online for petite fashion.
ASOS
ASOS is number one because they have ~by far~ the biggest collection of petite clothing. Sometimes it even gets overwhelming! I will say that you need to shop on their with either 1) an open mind OR 2) a good idea of what you’re looking for. It’s easier to shop there when you can filter out something things such as type of clothing and color.
- Free shipping: Over $49.99
- Free returns: Yes
- Student discount: Yes
Express
I personally love Express because we have a physical store in New Orleans, so it’s nice to shop in store and then buy online if needed. I don’t think I’ve seen many petite options in-store ever… except for pants. In the picture below, I actually found this jumpsuit in store, and then had to buy the petite version online.
Express also has amazing deals almost every single day. (Usually 40% off, so never buy full price.) And I love the style at Express, so you can’t go wrong here!
- Free shipping: Over $50
- Free returns: No. However, you can return in-store for free.
- Student discount: Yes
Topshop
So Topshop is actually a new love of mine since I found my fave dress (pictured below) while in Berlin. I found this dress downstairs and tried on TWO different sizes to get the right fit, and neither size worked. Defeated, I went to finish browsing upstairs. Then BAM! I found an entire petite section with the same dress. My heart got so excited, and I frantically searched for my size.
Topshop is extremely fashion-forward and has some really unique statement pieces to add to your closet. They’re my go-to for more trendy (and less timeless) items.
- Free shipping: Yes
- Free returns: Yes
- Student discount: Yes
