Shopping when short isn't easy (as I know from personal experience). Yes, it's possible to tailor larger, longer clothes, but that often involves more than just a hemline . . . and way more money. However, when it comes to clothing already in proportion to fit a smaller frame, Banana Republic has a whole petites section with hundreds of options, from sweaters and tops to pants and even coats.
Don't tell my wallet, but when I was scrolling through, several on-sale pieces jumped out at me. Ahead, check out the items I think would fit so much better when already made in a petite size.
If you've struggled to find a bodysuit that fits a short torso, you're in luck with this Banana Republic Petite Luxespun Cowl-Neck Thong Bodysuit ($29, originally $50).
This warm Banana Republic Petite Flare-Sleeved Sweater Dress ($69, originally $139) is one to wear all winter long.
The hem on these Banana Republic Petite Mid-Rise Skinny Ankle Jeans With Raw Hem ($49, originally $99) is already styled that way, so there's no need to cut a pair of too-long pants to make your own.
This Banana Republic Petite Sweater Hoodie ($88-$110, originally $110) is so cozy for around the house and around town, too.

You won't believe how soft these Banana Republic Petite High-Rise Vegan Suede Leggings With Pintuck ($34-$59, originally $99) are, but we especially love the invisible zipper at the ankles to switch up your look.

This loose Banana Republic Petite Merino Long Cardigan Sweater in Responsible Wool ($42-$59, originally $80-$85) is a solid layer, and even its oversize style will be just the right length.

We love both the dotted and light gray versions of the Banana Republic Petite Tie-Neck Top ($34, originally $70).
