Best Overall Deals

Weintee Petite Linen Pants

Linen pants have become my go-to bottoms for traveling, as they are incredibly breathable and look more elevated than leggings or yoga pants. This petite pair from Weintree features an adjustable drawstring waistband, two deep side pockets, and is available in six color options. One shopper noted that “they don’t wrinkle the way linen normally does,” making them easy to pack on vacation without needing a steamer.    

Pinspark 2-piece Matching Set

This petite two-piece set is a wardrobe essential for travelers who are under 5 feet 4 inches. It consists of a pullover quarter-zip sweatshirt and wide-leg pants with a drawstring waistband, both made with a lightweight, airy fabric that’s fit for summer travel. Be sure to apply the 15 percent off coupon at checkout to reduce the price of the matching set to $40.      

Sampeel Sleeveless Sundress

More than 2,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased this petite-friendly sleeveless sundress in the past month. The ultra-lightweight, stretchy mini dress is easy to dress up or down, making it a versatile packing staple for summer. “[The dress] sits above the knee, which is the perfect length for me,” wrote one 5-foot-tall shopper. 

Dokotoo Overall Jumpsuit

Although this overall jumpsuit isn’t available in petite sizing, the adjustable straps and cropped legs are ideal for petite frames. It’s made from a comfortable, lightweight waffle knit material that keeps you cool on a hot summer day, so you can focus on exploring a new city instead of searching for shade. One 4-foot-11 Amazon shopper wrote that “the length is so perfect,” and a different 5-foot reviewer agreed, writing that it fits “as a regular length jumper.”

Gap Favorite Crewneck T-Shirt

The name says it all—Gap’s Favorite Crewneck T-Shirt is created to be your go-to basic tee. It’s available in petite sizing, so it’s perfectly fitted and not awkwardly long. Its modal cotton blend is soft and stretchy, and one shopper raved that the shirt is “extremely comfortable and versatile.” 

Iuga Wide-leg Stretchy Work Pants

If you travel often for business, listen up! These petite, wide-leg pants look like classic work trousers, but they’re made with a stretchy, breathable waffle knit fabric that’s comfortable enough to wear around the house—or on a flight. One Amazon shopper who ordered a petite size dubbed the bottoms “the perfect pants,” writing, “they are so comfortable,” and the “perfect length.” 

Crz Yoga High-waisted Running Shorts

It only makes sense that most shorts fit petite frames, but some options are a bit too long in length. Luckily, these comfy, stylish bottoms are “perfect,” according to one 5-foot-2 shopper. The same person added that they “look every bit as cute as ones you would find in upscale retailers.” The athletic shorts are available in 19 color options, including a classic black and bright, summery shades like this hibiscus purple.

Joyspels Ice Silk Crop Tank Top

Take on any summer adventure in this silky soft sweat-wicking top that has a breathable, cooling effect. Petite Amazon shoppers love the slightly cropped design. One petite reviewer wrote that while “most tops are too long” on them, “this hits just right.” Another person, who is 5-foot-3, shared that the top “hits right at the top of [their] hip.”

Promover Petite Wide-leg Pants

These petite wide-leg pants have become a staple in my travel wardrobe. The flattering fit feels more elevated than my other yoga pants, yet they are just as comfortable. Outside of travel, I’ve worn the buttery soft leggings for workout classes, running errands, and lounging at home.

Lands’ End High-rise Soft Denim Pleated Wide-leg Trousers

These ultra-soft denim trousers are the ideal travel jeans. Made from ultra-soft cotton fabric, the petite-friendly, wide-leg pants offer plenty of stretch. They’re currently a steep 40 percent off, so don’t miss out on shopping the comfortable denim bottoms while they’re on sale.  

Gap Easy Pants

The Gap Easy Pants are designed for everyday wear, from the office to running errands, catching a flight, and more. Available in petite sizing, in addition to regular and tall, these pants have a relaxed yet tailored fit that’s easy to dress up or down.

Gap Smocked Waist Maxi Dress

Cottagecore is having a moment once again, and this smocked maxi dress is a simple way to embrace the trend on your next vacation. The comfortable design, which comes in petite sizing, features a subtle V-neckline and two side pockets. Style it with a pair of white sneakers for a day of sightseeing or kitten heels for an elegant dinner outfit.

Tankaneo Cropped Trench Coat

It’s never too early to start shopping for the next season, especially if you have fall trips already planned. This double-breasted trench coat boasts a slightly oversized look that’s chic and elevated, yet the cropped cut suits petite frames perfectly. Additionally, the lightweight material can fold down to a smaller size than a typical trench coat, making it a space-saving outerwear piece for packing.
