Women's Petite Coats & Jackets

Petite Coats & Jackets FAQs

How Should a Petite Coat Fit?

Petite coats and jackets are designed to flatter shorter proportions rather than overwhelm them. For a flattering fit, a petite coat should sit neatly at the shoulders, and the sleeves should end at the wrist. A casual jacket should end mid-thigh, while long, occasion-ready coats should finish just above the knee.

What Coat Styles Are Most Flattering for a Petite Shape?

Short and mid-length styles are the most flattering for petite coats. Cropped blazers and puffer jackets are great choices if you’re looking to define your shape and make your legs appear longer. Alternatively, belted wrap coats can enhance your silhouette and add a touch of elegance to your outfit.

Can Petite Women Wear Long Coats?

When styled well, long coats can look incredible on petite women. The key is to layer your coat over tops that define your waistline and pair them with bottoms that elongate your legs. For example, try a tucked-in blouse with a pencil skirt, then add knee-length boots for extra flair and slip on your petite coat. It’s a warm, elegant, and versatile look that’ll take you effortlessly from the office to the bar.
