    7 Piece Spring Summer Transitional Capsule Wardrobe That Little Women Can Trust

    Let me admit it right off the bat – I don’t really fall into the short category. At 5 feet 6 inches tall, I can generally be considered an “average” height for most people, but I struggle with the length and fit of certain clothes whenever I go shopping. Finding and picking out your favorite items can be frustrating enough, but when you’re also struggling to figure out what to wear during the transition between spring and summer seasons, getting ready in the morning can be a challenging process.

    Thinking about shorter shoppers and how often this conundrum might affect you, I started asking petite fashion editors for the clothes that work best for them in the same situation. There were obvious suggestions (avoid baggy jeans, poodle pants, and maxi dresses), and some I hadn’t even thought about (drawstring trousers get a big one). Yes), and we finally made it into a short list of transitional wardrobe wonders that I had to share with you.

    So, if you’re tired of sweating your way through baggy jumpers or braving the cold in short skirts, keep scrolling. This is the definitive spring/summer (transitional) capsule wardrobe for petite women. you are welcome.

    How to Create a Beautiful Capsule Wardrobe for Spring

    1. Oxford Shirt

    Amy Cahill wears a striped Oxford shirt, a black shirt, and a baseball cap.

    Style Notes: In our humble opinion, button down shirts always look more oversized. Loose, open and long at the cuffs and hems, “boyfriend” style shirts have been in every good girl’s summer wardrobe for the past five years – good news for shorter shoppers who often find sleeve length challenging. If your shape fits the body perfectly, but the arms are still too long, roll them up to the elbows for the effortless “I just threw it on” effect I’ve seen skinny women nail so well.

    2. Drawstring trousers

    Style Notes: It’s pretty clever once you think about it, but the easiest solution is to find a sleek pair of waistband with a waistband. Don’t rush into sewing the waistband, once you find the length that works for you, the drawstring pull is a quick solution that you can adjust in seconds—no Belt required. Linen duds will be a staple of your summer savings, but you can start wearing them now with some cozy layers on top.

    3. Midi skirt

    Style Notes; The beauty of the midi skirt is that no matter where it falls between the knee and the calf, it always looks perfectly fitted. If like my fellow editors you’re tired of wearing minis, or struggling to find a maxi that doesn’t bunch up around your legs, midis are still the skirt length of choice for fashion insiders, and they’re perfect for petite women who might otherwise easily gravitate towards trousers.

    4. Puff Sleeve Blouse

    Style Notes: big, romantic romantic Blouses are in trend right now and they work exactly the same on every body. Raised sleeves balance proportions, and often shorter in the torso, you don’t have to struggle with piles of extra fabric. Style them to perfection with straight-legged denim (more on that later), or their warm weather counterpart, knee-length jorts.
