If you are petite like me, you understand how difficult it can be to find clothes that fit properly. Not only that, but it can also be difficult to find clothes that are age appropriate- let alone both petite-friendly and age appropriate. Below I share several petite-friendly clothes on Amazon that are appropriate for women over 50 years old, including jeans, tops, swimsuits, sweaters, and more.
NYDJ Petite Barbara Bootcut Jeans
The NYDJ Barbara Bootcut Jeans are a great pick for petite women looking for a classic pair of bootcut jeans that actually fit well. These jeans are available in size 00P-18P. The NYDJ Barbara Bootcut Jeans are like an upgraded version of the classic bootcut jean offering some unique, modernized features.
The main, most well-known feature being NYDJ’s Lift Tuck Technology, which is panel in the front and back of the jeans designed to shape and support your curves and provide a slimming and flattering affect. Not only that, but the bootcut style elongates the legs, which is a major plus for us petite women!
Lands’ End SlenderSuit Grecian Tummy Control Chlorine Resistant One Piece Swimsuit
Let’s be honest, it’s not always easy to feel confident and sexy in a swimsuit. However, the best way to feeling good in a swimsuit is by first finding one that fits properly and flatters your specific body type. The Lands’ End SlenderSuit is a swimsuit that can help you achieve that confident feeling without sacrificing style or comfort.
This swimsuit is made of quality materials built to last, and the Slendertex fabric comfortably smoothes and shapes your curves. The shirring across the waist complements your curves and offers some additional control, and the subtle cup bra helps support and shape your bust. The straps are wide enough that they don’t dig into your skin. Last but not lease, this swimsuit is petite-friendly and is available in sizes 4P-18P.
PAIGE Petite Manhattan Bootcut Jean
In addition to the NYDJ Petite Barbara Bootcut Jeans, the Paige Petite Manhattan Bootcut Jeans are also worth noting. Though these jeans have an above average price tag, they are luxurious, built to last, and most would argue that they’re worth the price. Using fiber technology, this fabric provides soft, comfortable denim that won’t stretch out. These jeans are fitted through the waist and have an elegant boot cut that elongates your legs and flatters your figure.
Foxcroft Jordan Petite Non-Iron Chambray Linen Shirt
The Foxcroft Jordan Shirt is made of 100% linen making it a great light, summer top for women. It’s casual enough to wear around the house but not so casual that it can’t also be worn out and about. The sleeves areIt’s also low-maintenance, machine-washable, and non-iron.
This shirt is also available in a striped pattern as pictured below. Vertical stripes are great for women with a petite body type as vertical stripes elongate your figure and make you appear taller.
NIC+ZOE Sweater Jacket
As someone who is always cold, layers are very important! Unfortunately, layering up can sometimes ruin or casualize an outfit. The company I work for blasts the air conditioning in the office everyday, and as much as I’d love to be able to bundle up in a thick, oversized sweater or wrap myself up in my heated blanket, I have to maintain a level of professionalism while in the office. Needless to say, I wear cardigans a lot. However, I wanted to add some variety in my wardrobe without sacrificing an extra layer for warmth.
That’s when I came across the NIC+ZOE Sweater Jacket, which feels like a sweater but is trendier and offers some extra details. It’s slightly cropped length and sleeves make it a great option for petites. It’s available in a wide range of petite sizes and three different colors- orchid petal, black onyx, and paper white.
Calvin Klein Missy Soft Everyday Cinched Waist Shirt
The Calvin Klein Missy Soft Everyday Shirt is not available in petite sizes specifically, however, its length and cinched waist are definitely petite-friendly. As a petite, most tops tend to swallow my figure and can be very unflattering. A cinched waist can completely transform your outfit, complement your figure, and give you your shape back.
Another feature I love about this top is its versatility. It can be dressed up or dressed down, worn year round during all seasons, and the pockets are functional. It’s perfect for many occasions. It can be worn to work, while running errands, out to lunch with friends, while traveling, and more.
Lands’ End Long Sleeve V-Neck Button Shoulder Crepe Blouse
Lands’ End is a popular American clothing and home furnishings brand that has been around since 1963. They have a lot of everyday, essential styles, so they make shopping for clothes easy. Best of all, many of their styles are available in petite sizes.
The Lands’ End V-Neck Button Shoulder Crepe Blouse is available in sizes 00P-16P. This top is made of a light crepe fabric with slight texture that drapes beautifully and has a flattering v-neck design.
May You Be Super Stretch Pull-On Millennium Ankle Pants
The May You Be Super Stretch Pull-On Millennium Ankle Pants aren’t available in petite sizes specifically, but they have an inseam of 26 inches, so their length is perfect for many petites. These pull-on pants are made of materials that stretch for comfort and have a built-in tummy control panel for added support. They’re great for everyday wear but can also be dressed up if needed.

NIC+ZOE Slim Wonderstretch Pant
Another great pair of everyday pants for petite women are the NIC+ZOE Slim Wonderstretch Pants. These pull-on pants are available in sizes 0P-16P. They have a slim silhouette, wide elastic waistband, and figure-flattering stretch fabric made of 76% rayon, 21% nylon, and 3% spandex.
Lauren Ralph Lauren Petite Mid-Rise Straight Jeans
White jeans may not be for everyone, but they’re a nice way to add variety to your denim collection. They’re perfect to wear during the warmer months or pack for your beach vacation. These straight-leg, mid-rise jeans have slimming interior panels that support and shape. They are made of 71% cotton, 14% viscose, 14% polyester, 1% elastane and offer just the right amount of stretch.
Lauren Ralph Lauren Essentials Bingham Knits Capri PJ Set
Although pajamas are often made to be slightly oversized, they tend to be overly oversized on those with a petite body type. The legs tend to drag along the ground, and the sleeves tend to go well past the wrists, which makes them pretty uncomfortable. These Ralph Lauren Essential Bingham Knits PJ Set are a classic pair of pajamas but are designed with cropped sleeves and a shorter inseam making them ideal for petites.
Eddie Bauer Favorite Long-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt
The Eddie Bauer Favorite Long-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt is a wardrobe essential. For petites, regular-sized long sleeve v-neck shirts tend to have sleeves that are way too long and a neckline that lays too low on the chest. This t-shirt is available in petite sizes so it’s appropriately proportioned for your petite frame. This is a slim fit t-shirt, but isn’t overly clingy or constricting, and comes in twenty different colors.
Lands’ End Relaxed Supima Cotton Long Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt
For those who prefer a more classic fit, as opposed to a slim fit, then you may like the Lands’ End Relaxed Supima Cotton Long Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt. This t-shirt is available in petite sizes and twenty different colors. It is made of 100% supima cotton, which is an American grown cotton that is known for its softness and strong fibers that last longer and hold color better. Needless to say, this t-shirt should hold up better than your typical cotton t-shirt.

This Lands’ End Flannel Shirt is an easy, comfortable closet staple. It can be worn untucked for a more casual look or tucked in for a more polished look. It’s available in sizes XSP-XLP and a handful of colors.
