7 SUMMER OUTFITS

FOR SHORT WOMEN

Jump into summer fashion, but make it petite-friendly.

Here are 7 summer outfit ideas for short women, including a couple of special shortie hacks you can use to make your favorite pieces work.

A BIAS-CUT
SLIP DRESS

A slip dress–long, mini, silk, linen–is the closest workhorse of your summer wardrobe, so versatile that it looks right with practically any warm-weather shoe.

A MATCHING
LINEN SET

Summer 2023 is seeing a new crop of brands making comfortable, lightweight and machine-washable linen separates in so many shapes and silhouettes.

KILLER PLATFORM
HEELS

Coming in hot–big chunky shoes in bright colors, like the always-sold-out Saint Laurent Bianca shoe that petite women have been clamoring for.

CROPPED JACKET
+ CARGO PANTS

This improbably attractive combo is all about proportion, since the high-waist cargos elongate the leg and the cropped jacket is super short.

TWO-PIECE
DRESSES

We're not mad at the many two-piece dresses we've seen this summer, since they're tailor-made for the shortie by lifting the gaze upward to the midsection.

OVERSIZED BLAZER
+ SHORTS

While an oversized blazer might seem too much fabric for petites, we're liking it with a pair of shorts–or bike shorts–and heels for a leggy look.

CAFTAN
(BELT OPTIONAL)

We're thrilled to see flowing lightweight caftans, the most comfortable garment ever created, be on-trend this summer.
