Petite-Friendly Winter Fashion Essentials to Shop on Amazon

When you’re 5 feet tall — all right, 4 feet 11 inches and three quarters, if I’m being honest — it can be difficult to find stylish clothing that isn’t super oversized. Since I’m in the process of giving my closet a winter overhaul, though, I’m on the lookout for pieces that look as great as they fit. I’m rising to the challenge (yes, pun intended), and luckily, I found a secret Amazon fashion section that’s packed with clothing just for petite shoppers.

Even though I live in sunny Los Angeles, temperatures still can dip into the 30s and 40s during the winter months. As such, I’m filling my winter wardrobe with cozy shackets, comfy lounge sets, soft sweaters, and flattering wide-leg jeans. The best part? These styles are actually designed to fit shorter frames — no pooling, dragging, or scrunching required.

I consider it a personal miracle that I discovered this secret Amazon section, since my wardrobe is about to get a major, petite-appropriate winter refresh. I picked out the 10 best petite clothing finds for the season ahead, from brands like Lee, Gap, and Lands’ End. And the best part? Prices start at just $23.

Best Petite Winter Fashion on Amazon

Baleaf Fleece-Lined Leggings

I’ve worn fleece-lined leggings for the past four winters, and while they’ve kept my legs warm, they’ve also bagged at the ankles. That’s not the case with this top-ranked pair, which has both 25- and 27-inch inseams that are perfect for shorter shoppers. They come in a variety of colors and sizes XS–3X.

Simplee Velvet Short-Sleeve Dress

I spotted Kelly Clarkson in a velvet dress recently, and it made me immediately scour Amazon for one I could wear to all my winter events. This fit-and-flare dress has a V-neckline, ruched waist, and tiered skirt, and petite shoppers said it “fits comfortably,” and they “love the length.”

Lee Legendary High-Rise Trouser Jeans, $28 with coupon

From Joanna Gaines to Julia Roberts, along with Taylor Swift and Kate Winslet, so many celebs reached for wide-leg jeans this year. Available in sizes 0–18 and short inseams, these are designed specifically for petites; they have a high-rise waistband, zip-and-button fly, five-pocket styling, and seamed cuffs.

Amazon Essentials Crewneck Sweater

Fair Isle comes back year after year, and Kate Hudson and Jennifer Lopez have both been spotted in the winter essential recently. This sweater has a Fair Isle pattern around the neckline and ribbed trim, and it comes in a variety of colors, including black, blue, cream, and brown.

Automet Half-Zip Cropped Sweatshirt

Here’s a petite fashion life hack: A cropped hoodie doubles as a regular-length one for shorter frames. This one is designed in soft cotton and polyester fleece with a half-zip placket, mock-neck collar, and front kangaroo pocket, and it comes in 32 colors.

Lands’ End Drifter Cotton Quarter-Zip Pullover Sweater

Oprah welcomed sweater season in a striped pullover, which means I need a striped pullover. Enter this quarter-zip style from Lands’ End, which is designed in soft cotton with bold stripes and ribbing throughout the material. 

Pinspark Two-Piece Loungewear Set

Lounge sets have made the style rounds on celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Martha Stewart, but they’re often not designed for petite fashionistas. Luckily, this two-piece set comes in S–XL with petite sizes. It includes a sweatshirt with a half-zip placket and spread collar, and wide-leg pants with a drawstring waist.

Zeagoo Cropped Plaid Shacket

Flannel is a cozy winter essential, and it gets even cozier in shacket form — just ask Katie Holmes, who strolled around New York City in a plaid shacket. This cropped silhouette makes it perfect for shorter frames; petite shoppers said it’s “not too long,” and it “looks just like the picture.”
