Rather than mourning the passing of summer and clinging to the notion of al fresco frolics as the sun wanes, turn your attention to the new season. Winter’s cold winds bring with them new collections and a covetable array of fresh trends. We’ve picked some of our favourites (complete with petite clothing snaps), guaranteed to update wardrobes and flatter petite frames.
1. Grey
Simple, elegant, highly wearable… you could say grey is the new black. Catwalks this season were awash with the colour in shades of charcoal and steel. Indulge in a grey cashmere jumper or opt for a long coat in this subtle and sophisticated hue.
EILEEN FISHER, Alpaca Blend Double Face Coat,$498
PRECIS, Petite Tweed Boucle Skirt, £79
2. Swinging 60’s
Fashion houses gave a nod to the mod this season with a stomping parade of 60’s style in all its groovy glory. Think A-line skirts, micro minis, knee high boots and luxe fabrics. How can it work for you? Super short skirts give the illusion of a longer leg, making petites seem taller.
HALOGEN, Asymmetrical Zip Leather & Scuba Knit Skirt, $168
M&S, Petite Easy Shattered Shift Dress, £45
3. Jumper Dresses
The 80’s smart casual classic gets a modern twist this season with sleek drapings and silhouettes. How can it work for you? Jumper dresses create a continuous line, which serves to lengthen the silhouette.
COAST, Caitlyn Knit, £75
ANN TAYLOR, Petite Embellished Sweatshirt Dress, $119
Get carried away with something novel…
A reminder of how fun fashion can be. Grab hold of a quirky bag this season. A cat? A watering can? A flower? The wackier the better.
HELLO TOKYO, Lucky Cat Minaudiere, £187.26
CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA, ‘Kiss’ clutch, $589.22
PIERRE HARDY, Leather and suede clutch, £465
