Comment on PETITE AND EXTRA SMALL ARE NOT THE SAME by Stylepint

I can understand that frustration. It’s worse when the SA is petite and tells me the same thing! Being short is not the same as being thin. The clothing industry needs to standardize terminology and sizing to make it easier on the customers!

I always shop at Old Navy for my kids when it's back to school season. I love how you can save so much money using Old Navy coupons online!

Shopping for petite clothing has become a bigger challenge than ever due to reduced inventories. For contemporary classic styles, my personal favorites are Nordstrom, Banana Republic, and J. Crew. I am also a big fan of Macy’s INC label for more updated looks. Hope this helps in some small way.

Great question! I am over 50, wear a size 4 or 6 petite, and have a real challenge finding clothes that are modern yet classic. The petite clothes I find are either too young or old. Help!

Comment on CAN PETITE WOMEN WEAR CAPRI PANTS? by Kim Dahlman

A top that falls above your hips is usually the best look with a capri pant. To minimize the fullness in your bust, I would recommend v-necklines, vertical patterns, and darker shades of color on top.

If you’re short and top-heavy, what is the best blouse to wear with capri pants?

An alternative to wearing shoes or sandals that match the color of the capris is to wear neutral/nude color shoes that blend with your skin tone. This trick works across the board – pants, skirts, dresses – to elongate the leg.

I’m 5′1 and capris look horrible on me. Would NEVER wear them. Probably because I’m shorter on the bottom half. I don’t like oants anyway so it works out well for me. But true, capris aren’t for everybody.
