I’m Actually Excited for New Year’s Eve After Seeing Quince’s Festive Party Outfits — Shop My 10 Petite-Friendly Finds

Finding the right New Year’s Eve party outfit can be tricky, especially when factoring in the need for something that fits a petite frame. I’m 5-foot-2, so I’m used to hemming dresses and pants that drag on the ground, and know the feeling of avoiding certain styles altogether because they overwhelm my shorter frame. 

In order to save time and stress this year, I’m seeking out those same festive looks in pieces that require no alterations. Quince’s holiday selection has so many petite-friendly options, including velvet dresses, faux-fur jackets, and silk skirts that I can’t wait to wear for the occasion and throughout winter. Below, shop my petite picks to wear while ringing in the new year, starting at $50.

Hooded Faux-Fur Jacket

I love the look of a faux fur jacket to dress up a New Year’s Eve outfit, but I typically worry that the design will look bulky and overwhelm my shorter frame. This version from Quince, which comes in black, dark brown, and light tan, has a cropped silhouette which solves that problem. One person said they “love the short cut” on this “cozy and warm” coat, adding that it works especially well “for the petite women out there.” 

Washable Silk Mini Skirt

When worn with boots and tights, a mini skirt can be a great winter party wardrobe staple — especially for petites. This silk skirt has a flowy silhouette that goes with blouses, sweaters, or a T-shirt during warmer months. One 5-foot-2 shopper said the “length and sizing is great,” and another noted that it is “not too short, elegant, and easy to wash.” Snag this piece in five neutral colors for year-round use. 

Washable Silk Maxi Slip Dress

Maxi dresses are usually an immediate pass for petite shoppers, but this silk slip option, which one customer said can be “easily dressed up or down,” has adjustable straps that help make it compatible with any height. One r 5-foot-3-inch reviewer said they “often have to have maxi dresses hemmed,” but added that this one is the ideal length when worn with kitten heels. Plus, Quince offers the same style in a midi length. 

Stretch Silk Velvet Ruched Midi Dress

A velvet dress is a quintessential pick for holiday parties, and this ruched style has a flattering fit that is ideal on a cold winter night. The dress has a cowl neckline and is midi length, while the side of the dress has a ruched detail and slit for added interest. The “stunning, ravishing dress,” per one fan, “fits like a glove without being too tight.”
