What Height is Petite?

Many people think that the word "petite" refers to a person's weight. However, it actually has nothing to do with weight. Regular size clothing typically fit women from 5'4" up to 5'8". Petite is a term used in the fashion industry to describe a woman who is 5'3" and under. Petite women come in all shapes and sizes, whether they're a size 0 or 16. Therefore, petite size clothing is designed to fit women of shorter height than the average woman.

Petite Cardigans & Sweaters are Versatile

What sets a cardigan apart from another type of sweater is its functionality. While other sweaters are usually pullovers, cardigans feature buttons and zippers, or an open front. This style unlocks the versatility to take your outfit further than it could before. Now, this by no means discounts sweaters as a valid option. Often times sweaters are the answer. Cardigans are typically an accent piece for your outfits, while sweaters are an integral part.

The type of cardigan you pick also depends on the outfit. Ponchos and ruanas are a great way to add some layered mystery and flow to your outfit. Short sweaters are great for dresses with an open back when you need to cover up while at work (or if you get cold). Long variations are excellent at creating elegance while wearing your favorite jeans and t-shirt combo.

Layering Options

During the cooler months, cardigans and jeans are always fair game. During the summertime, a long cardigan with shorts and a tank on windy days is a great look. They also pair well with business casual attire! If you need just a pop of something different to go with your dress, a cardigan is your answer.

For when things get too cold for a light jacket, consider a shirt length zip-up cardigan over a cami, and a women's peacoat. You'll be looking fashionable while staying pretty warm. Conversely, an oversized and fluffy button-up cardigan should make you feel rather cozy.

Women's petite apparel is designed to keep you looking and feeling great when you're at home, work, or out on the town. Of course, it wouldn't be fair if these styles weren't available to all body types. Everyone deserves to look good in a cardigan, so you’ll find petite sizes, plus sizes, and every size in between. Chunky, marled, open-stitch—with so many knits to choose from the options are endless.
