Amazon’s Outlet Is Loaded with Petite Fashion Deals — as a 5-Foot Shopping Writer, These Are My 10 Favorites

I’m a grand total of 4 feet 11 inches and three quarters tall — or, a solid 5 feet, if you ask my doctor. So, as you can imagine, it can be difficult to find petite clothes that properly fit my shorter frame. Until now, that is.

Given that I’m a shopping writer, I spend an inordinate amount of time perusing Amazon for the latest and greatest deals, and I recently stumbled across thousands of petite-friendly styles hiding in the retailer’s fashion outlet. My shopping synapses started firing immediately, leaving me ready for a complete wardrobe overhaul with petite dresses, jeans, tops, and matching sets for less.

Nic+Zoe Abstract Animal-Print Shirt Dress

I’ve always been a fan of animal print, and this summer, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King have gotten on board with the trend. Try the look with this sleeveless shirt dress that has an abstract print, full button front, waist ties, and a midi length that hits right below the knees on most people.

The Drop Sydney Short-Sleeve Cropped T-Shirt

My favorite petite fashion hack? Buying a crop top, since it will be regular length on my short torso. This one from The Drop is my go-to, since it’s designed in a soft cotton jersey with a slightly boxy fit. It comes in a variety of colors and prints, plus sizes XXS–5X.

Star Vixen Ity Knit Wide-Leg Pants

With fans like Jennifer Lawrence, Kelly Clarkson, and Martha Stewart, wide-leg pants have become a style staple this summer. These ones have a pull-on waistband and loose, flowy legs with subtly cropped hems, and they come in petite sizes S–XL.

DKNY Sleeveless Draped Mini Dress

I’m already envisioning wearing this satin dress for rooftop cocktails, work events, and nights at the theater. The asymmetrical, faux-wrap silhouette is designed with a ruched panel at the bodice and angled ruffles down one side.

NYDJ Petite Marilyn Straight Jeans

Laura Dern and Courteney Cox stepped out in straight-leg jeans recently, so I want a pair, too. This style is designed in soft, stretchy cotton denim with a zip-and-button fly and five pockets. A fellow petite shopper said these “perfect length” jeans “are form fitting while being comfortable.”

Eddie Bauer Departure 2.0 Long-Sleeve Shirt

This button-down shirt is a versatile style essential, since it can be worn buttoned up and tucked into a skirt or unbuttoned over a tee and jeans. It has a straight point collar, buttoned chest patch pockets, and roll-up sleeves with cuff tabs.

Lands’ End Supima Cotton Crewneck T-Shirt

I’m of the firm belief that you can never own enough striped tees. I’m loving the subtle French Riviera inspiration of this one with a slim fit and contrast crew neckline. It also comes in a variety of solid colors and other bold patterns, plus petite sizes XS–XL.

Libin Cargo Jogger Pants

I purchased my first pair of cargo pants in the late ’90s, so I’m loving their recent style resurgence, helped along by celebs like Katie Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow. This pair is designed with an adjustable drawstring waist and jogger cuffs, along with multiple pockets along the sides and back. They come in sizes XS–3X and three inseam options.

Jessica Howard Flutter-Sleeve Chiffon Dress

This mini dress has a beautiful, tonal floral pattern accented with glistening gold embroidery, making it perfect for evening events during the warmer months. It’s finished with a V-neckline, ruffled collar, short flutter sleeves, and a fabric belt.

Lepunuo Crop Top and Wide-Leg Pants Set

Nothing makes me happier than a matching set with two cropped items, since they’ll work well on my short torso and petite legs. Enter this two-piece outfit, which includes a boxy sleeveless top and wide-leg trousers. The set has racked up dozens of five-star ratings from petite shoppers like myself; one 4-foot-11 reviewer said it’s “extremely flattering and comfortable.”
