It probably comes as no surprise that the e-commerce giant, Amazon, offers petite sized clothes. Better yet, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you have a very short waiting period until your order shows up on your doorstep.
How to View Petite Clothes On Amazon
Amazon sells over 12 million products. Needless to say, you can find virtually anything you need on Amazon, including petite clothes. Since their product offerings are so vast, the website may be difficult to navigate for some. Follow these steps to easily browse petite clothes on Amazon:
- Navigate to Amazon.com
- Find the Main Menu
- Under Shop By Department, select Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry & Watches
- Select Women, which will take you to the Amazon Fashion page.
- Hover over Women and select Clothing (or whatever specific type of clothing you’re looking for).
- On the left side of the page, you’ll see several filtering options. Scroll to Specialty Sizes and select Petite
- Enjoy the thousands of results!
Amazon Filtering Options
Amazon’s petite collection consists of over 2,000 items, so you can find clothes for any occasion. They allow you to filter their petite collection by the following items, so you can quickly find what you’re looking for:
- Dresses
- Tops, Tees & Blouses
- Sweaters
- Fashion Hoodies & Sweatshirts
- Jeans
- Pants
- Skirts
- Shorts
- Leggings
- Active
- Swimsuits & Cover Ups
- Lingerie, Sleep & Lounge
- Jumpsuits, Rompers & Overalls
- Coats, Jackets & Vests
- Suiting & Blazers
- Socks & Hosiery
Amazon also allows you to filter the results by Average Customer Review, Brand, Price, Pattern, Fit Type, Color, and Seller. With so many filtering options, Amazon makes finding what you’re searching for a very efficient process. If I’m looking for a red dress, in a size petite small, and that’s under $50, I can apply these exact filters at Amazon.com and find what I’m looking for in minutes. Most clothing websites don’t offer as many filtering options, so you end up having to browse through several items (sometimes several hundreds) in order to find what you’re looking for.
Amazon Reviews
Another great thing about shopping on Amazon are all the reviews. You rarely come across items that have less than 100 reviews- and several have thousands of reviews. These reviews provide tons of insight on the product from everyday consumers all over the world.
I find that reviews are an especially great resource when shopping for clothes, because you can find many more details regarding the size, fit, and quality. If you’re petite like me, you know that it can be very difficult to find clothes that fit properly. Amazon reviews, which often include photos and videos, are very informative and allow you to see how the item fits on all different body types. You can then more easily determine whether an item will fit your specific body type.
Petite-Friendly Finds On Amazon
Aoxjox Women’s Workout Vital Short Sleeve Seamless Top
Color: Charcoal Gray Marl
I go to the gym often, so having workout clothes that fit my petite frame is extremely important to me. Wearing poor-fitting clothes while trying to exercise is very distracting and a nuisance. I discovered this top on Amazon a couple of years ago, and it’s one of my favorite workout tops. Some people are concerned with the quality of items available on Amazon, but this top has held up extremely well and doesn’t pill.
This top is petite-friendly as the shoulders are narrower than usual, the armpit seams don’t sag, and the length isn’t too long. The fabric is made of 100% nylon. The care instructions on Amazon say to hand wash only, but I’ve never had any issues with machine-washing and drying it as usual. They also have a cropped version of this top available if that’s more your style.
ReachMe Women’s Casual Ruffle High-Waisted Shorts
If you’re petite, you know it can be a challenge to find shorts that fit appropriately. They tend to either be too short, too long, and/or too baggy. High-waisted shorts can sometimes sit a little too high, near the ribs, instead of actually at the waistline. Needless to say, I was happy when I discovered ReachMe Women’s Casual Ruffle High-Waisted Shorts on Amazon.
I am a 30-year old woman, and I think these are very age-appropriate shorts. They’re extremely comfortable, yet stylish. They’re not too short or too long, and they come with a tie belt that adds an extra touch of style. Oftentimes paper-bag waist bottoms look too baggy on my petite frame, but these are not that way at all. These shorts are made of 70% rayon and 30% linen. They are available in twenty different colors, so you’ll likely be able to find a color that suits your personal style.
HeyNuts Essential 7/8 Leggings, Buttery Soft Hawthorn Athletic Yoga Pants 25″
Color: Olive
The HeyNuts Essential 7/8 Leggings are a wardrobe staple. I was pleasantly surprised when these arrived and discovered they are comparable to Lululemon’s Align pants, but a fraction of the cost! They hold up in the gym (yes, they are squat-proof), but are also soft and casual enough to be worn while running errands and completing everyday tasks.
Best of all, they’re petite-friendly and are available in 7/8 length, which has a 25-inch inseam. These leggings have a seamless waistband, so there are no seams that dig into your skin and create a “roll” in the waist. The fabric is 70% nylon and 30% spandex, and they don’t pill.
CRZ YOGA Women’s Naked Feeling Yoga Pants 25″
Color: Navy
The CRZ Yoga Pants are similar to the HeyNuts Essential Leggings mentioned above, but these have a slightly slicker/shinier look and feel. These too hold up well while working out (and are squat-proof) but are also great for everyday wear.
These leggings are very petite-friendly and are available in 7/8 length with a 25-inch inseam. The fabric is 71% polyamide and 29% spandex. I’ve had these leggings for over two years now, and they’re still in great shape and haven’t pilled at all. They’re also available in a whopping forty different colors and patterns.
Seamless Workout Tank Top
Color: Ice Blue
This seamless, sweat-wicking tank top from Amazon is a petite-friendly top that I often wear when exercising. It is not too long or too low-cut. This product includes a helpful size chart on Amazon that shows the length, bust, and bottom width for each size, so you can better determine whether it will fit your particular size and shape. The fabric is 100% nylon. It’s available in fifteen different colors and also in a cropped length for those who prefer a shorter length.
CRZ YOGA Seamless Workout Tank Top
Color: Dark Olive
The CRZ Yoga Seamless Workout Tank is another great affordable, petite-friendly tank top to wear while exercising. It is a full-length tank top, but it’s not too long, and the neckline isn’t too low-cut. This tank top is made of 100% polyamide and features a Y back.
Lock and Love Women’s Full Zip Jacket
Color: Wine
The Lock and Love Jacket is a great layering piece for colder days. This jacket is comparable to the Lululemon Define jacket, but less than a third the cost. It’s moisture-wicking and made of 88% polyester and 12% spandex.
The Lock and Love Jacket is great for petites as it’s slimming, figure-flattering, and doesn’t swallow your figure. There’s a helpful size chart on Amazon that provides the bust, waist, sleeve length, and overall length measurements for all sizes, so you can better determine what size will fit best. It’s lightweight enough to be worn during all seasons. I ordered this in a size medium, but a small would probably fit better. For reference, I am 5’2″ and 107 pounds.
Amazon makes shopping for petite clothes easy by offering thousands of products to choose from, several filtering options to more easily find what you’re looking for, and reviews to better determine an item’s quality, size, and fit.
ZAFUL Cropped Turtleneck Sweater
The ZAFUL cropped turtleneck sweater is a great option for petites wanting to achieve the “oversized/chunky/comfy” sweater look. For petites, this can be an extremely difficult look to achieve, because most oversized sweaters are just simply too oversized and swallow a petite frame. Of course oversized sweaters are intentionally made to be large, but it’s important to maintain some balance, especially if you are petite.
Because this sweater is cropped in length, it provides some balance and doesn’t swallow the frame. This is an especially great pick for petites with short torsos. Because there’s not a ton of extra fabric at the hem, you can easily tuck, or partially tuck, it into bottoms and pair it with a belt without it being too bulky. This sweater’s high neck and fitted wrists also provide some balance, as opposed to a true fold-over turtleneck that can sometimes look bulky or bell sleeves that tend to swallow the arms and hands.
This sweater is available in over 25 colors, so there’s no doubt you’ll find a color that suits your specific taste. They provide a helpful size chart that includes bust, length, sleeve length, and shoulder width measurements for each size, so you can easily determine what size would fit you best.
