What’s a work-appropriate outfit for a petite woman? For the petite woman, it’s business as usual when it comes to getting dressed for work. It simply depends on the dress code:
For a corporate office, stick with conservative pieces worthy of your 9-to-5. Sharpen your work wardrobe with a petite suit or petite skirt suit that’s cut for your frame. Modern versions feature cool details such as bold sleeves or subtle prints. Suits in neutral colors are timeless for a reason and can be spiced up with a bold blouse. Get more wear out of a suit by breaking it up. Wear the blazer with petite pants in a different color (the navy-and-black combo is trending). Another option? Skip the blazer altogether and pair a petite skirt with a sweater in a luxe fabric such as cashmere or wool.
For a relaxed work environment, dress up a casual outfit with polished separates. A classic jeans-and-tee look instantly becomes work-ready when paired with a petite blazer or petite jacket. Dark wash jeans are easy to wear in a casual office setting. Pair them with a petite top in your favorite color. Dress down a petite dress with a pair of sneakers or layered over leggings.
