As a team with several editors and contributors under 5\u20194\u201d, we believe that good things can come in small packages. Check back for our go-to places and styling advice on <\/em>petite denim<\/em><\/a>, workwear, and so much more.<\/em><\/p>\n

Being 5\u20191\u201d has its perks: I get more leg room on flights (even in economy), don\u2019t have to duck my head under low ceilings, and, in my book, no heels are too high. On the other hand, being\u00a0 \u201cpetite\u201d can be a nuisance<\/a> when shopping for clothes that don\u2019t drown my short-girl frame \u2014 especially when it comes to workwear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether your 9-to-5 is in corporate, creative, or beyond, office attire generally follows an overall approach that achieves a \u201cput-together\u201d look. This often includes polished pieces like suit pants<\/a>, button-up shirts, and blazers. If you\u2019re 5\u20194\u201d or under, you know the struggle of searching for said workwear staples that have lengths and hems that fit your height. Tailoring is an option, but one doesn\u2019t always have the time or extra money to fix new purchases.\u00a0With that in mind, finding brands with an extensive petite selection<\/a> is key, and Ann Taylor offers a plethora of petite work styles<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t heard, Ann Taylor got a revamp<\/a> in the past few years. The go-to mall brand is staying true to its core mission, continuing to offer women sophisticated workwear, while incorporating of-the-moment trends into styles that feature modern silhouettes and quality fabrics.<\/p>\n

Ahead, I\u2019ve styled three office-ready outfits from Ann Taylor\u2019s petite range, all available to shop for the upcoming season. Note: When selecting sizes, I found the petite size chart<\/a> to be helpful as it\u2019s separated by tops, bottoms, and dresses. I can attest that the pieces were true to size, with either 0 or XS working for me across the board. (For reference, I am a waist size 24\/25, and a 34B in bust.) Shop my favorite Ann Taylor fall workwear for petites below.<\/p>\n

Ann Taylor Petite Pants<\/a> And Collared Shirt<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

A pair of sleek trousers and an elegant blouse are wardrobe staples that easily work in any professional setting. It\u2019s often a struggle for me to find longline pants off the rack that don\u2019t drag on the floor. Luckily, this wide-leg pinstripe design is offered in a 29\u201d inseam \u2014 compared to the standard 31.5\u201d measurement \u2014 that teams seamlessly with any pointed-toe pump (another workwear classic). <\/p>\n

I chose this floaty, ruffled button-down with subtly puffed sleeves to add a hint of volume. The petite sizing of this top features a shorter torso length, making it easy to tuck into pants without extra, unnecessary bunching. I added texture to the look with an embossed belt boasting an organic-shaped buckle, a pair of rich brown straw pumps, and a woven clutch bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ann Taylor Petite Matching Set<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There\u2019s something about a coordinating set <\/strong>that instantly looks sleek. The second I saw this navy blue cropped jacket and matching flare pants with hems that perfectly hang at my ankles, I knew I would be swapping out my overworn black blazer pantsuit for this modern iteration. <\/p>\n

Crafted from a smooth crepe fabric that is stretchy and soft, the suit doesn\u2019t feel stiff \u2014 literally or aesthetically. I especially love the jacket for the unexpected short sleeves, pointed collar, large buttons, and front besom pockets. I accessorized the ensemble with silver jewelry and buckled slingback, square-toe pumps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ann Taylor Petite <\/a>Midi Dress<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Never have I dared to even attempt to pair flat shoes with a midi dress \u2014 until now. Thanks to the petite length of this classic burgundy pleated style that actually hits my calves (instead of my ankles like most \u201cmidis\u201d do), my 5\u20191\u201d frame is not overwhelmed by an immense amount of fabric. Most importantly, I can wear these comfortable, eye-catching metallic mesh flats without my legs appearing shorter than they are, even with a full-skirted dress. Plus, the cinched waist and high-neck design are a bonus in giving the illusion of a longer torso. I finished off the look with an arched metal handle shoulder bag and tortoise shell eyeglasses. <\/p>\n
