25 Petite Pieces From Banana Republic That Are Sized Just Right

When you think about how drastically diverse our body types are, the idea of finding clothes straight off the rack that actually fit as if they were made for us, can be quite the frustrating fashion dilema. It doesn't matter if you're extra tall, on the shorter side, or right in between, there are a ton of factors to consider. Banana Republic not only got the memo, but designed a line for smaller frames that doesn't compromise on style.

Shopping petite isn't just about smaller sizes. The overall fit varies from piece to piece. What comes with a collection specifically made with shorter legs and torsos in mind are options like jumpsuits and well-fitted blazer that generally wouldn't even be in consideration. What's even better is that many of the favorites from the regular Banana Republic lineup also come in petite sizes. So whether it's a much needed sweater staple or a pant that would normally drown out your efforts to elongate, these smaller pieces were made just right for your frame.
