Shopping while short can be a challenge, especially when pants are involved. There are most likely cuffs (or heels) involved so there's no tripping . . . or trip to a tailor. Now, luckily, there are already plenty of petite-length jeans at Madewell, but did you know there are also petite jackets, dresses, and other items, too?
If you've ever seen what's sold as a midi dress look more like a maxi, or an allegedly cropped jacket that was suddenly regular-length, keep reading 'cause this list is for you. Of all the Madewell pieces meant for shorter frames, we especially love these 20 that still have sky-high style. Check them out ahead.
This colorful Madewell Petite Cattail Tiered Dress ($128) would look so cute with wedges and playful jewelry.
Pair the Madewell Petite Straight-Leg Overalls in Tile White ($148) with a crop top and just a hint of skin showing.
Madewell The Petite Perfect Vintage Jean in Coffey Wash: Worn-In Edition ($135) are a stylish take on mom jeans with an already worn-in look and feel — or opt for the similar Madewell Women's Petite Perfect Vintage Jean in Ainsworth Wash ($128) with a raw hem instead.
You know you'll get a mini dress that's actually short with this Madewell Petite Linen-Blend Alexandra Button-Front Mini Dress ($88), but do you know what color you'd like best (between black, tan, and lavender)?
Of all the things that are hard to shop for as a short girl, pants can be the worst. These Madewell Petite Drapey Pleated Wide-Leg Pants ($85) are perfect for a slouchy look that won't trip you up.
These top-rated Madewell Petite Classic Straight Jeans in Lunar Wash ($128) are fitted up top but still have a classic straight leg on the bottom.
The best thing about this Madewell Petite Washed Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($498) is that it's already buttery and broken in, but second (and third) best are sleeves won't be foolishly long on shorter arms and a bottom that hits at just the right spot below your waist.
Midi dresses can be a frustrating fit for petites, as they sometimes end up as maxis instead. This Madewell Petite Linen-Blend Lucie Smocked Midi Dress ($118) is just the right length for you — and in an ideal breezy fabric for summer.
