Summer isn’t over yet. We have plenty of time to soak up the sun and enjoy the hot weather, and we’re still dressing comfortably for the scorching temps. As a 5-foot-1-inch shopping writer, I know all about having to be careful not to be swallowed up by certain silhouettes while still hunting for trendy and lightweight pieces.
Target’s latest drop is filled with summer fashion staples that are perfect for petite frames like mine. Whether you’re adding to your airy dress collection or you’re looking for a versatile linen midi skirt that will help you transition your wardrobe for the next season, you’re bound to find something you love.
Best Petite-Friendly New Arrivals at Target
Wild Fable Tiered Mini A-Line Dress
Target
The vintage-inspired feel of this darling mini halter dress is exactly what the summer weather calls for. The vertical stripe design gives an elongating visual effect that we petite shoppers long for, and the princess seam helps it feel more tailored and polished. Try it with strappy sandals that lace around the ankles for a chic finished ensemble.
Future Collective Mid-Rise Linen Midi Wrap Skirt
Target
If you fear that you can’t exactly pull off a full-length maxi skirt, then a midi skirt will be your new friend. The cotton and rayon blend gives this piece airy and breathable comfort, and the wrap design adds a touch of unexpected sophistication. It’s a lightweight piece that works well for the office as well as casual outings. You can pair it with a striped button-down blouse during work hours and a slinky tank on weekends.
Universal Thread Tie-Front Jumpsuit
Target
We love a dependable one-and-done outfit, and this cutout cotton romper is your key to an effortless morning. All you have to decide on is shoes and bag, and there are plenty of pairings that you can get away with. The gorgeous tie-front detail, cinched waist, and relaxed silhouette make this a likely candidate for a sell-out piece, so we’d run to add this pretty one-piece to cart.
