Petite Summer Fashion Is on Sale from $12 at Amazon

I live for summer. Outdoor concerts, rooftop cocktails, farmers market strolls, tropical vacations — you name it, I do it. And as someone who also loves revamping my wardrobe at the slightest change in temperature, I, of course, feel the need to do that during the warm summer months. As a petite woman who stands “tall” at 5 feet (okay, 4 feet 11 inches and three-quarters, if I’m being absolutely honest), I’m always on the lookout for clothes that are cute, stylish, and actually fit my shorter frame. Thankfully, there’s a secret Amazon fashion section packed with summer styles just for petite shoppers. 

I’m excited to add a host of seasonal pieces to my warm-weather wardrobe, like breezy sundresses, comfy shorts sets, airy tops, and versatile capri pants. The best part? They’re actually designed to fit petite bodies without any pooling, dragging, bunching, or scrunching.

My wardrobe is about to get a major, petite-friendly refresh for summer. I picked out the 13 best petite summer fashion finds on Amazon from brands like Gloria Vanderbilt, Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, and Lands’ End, and they’re all on sale starting at just $12.

Jessica Howard Chiffon Dress with Flutter Sleeves

From the wrap silhouette and flutter sleeves to the tonal floral design and metallic Swiss-dot embroidery, this dress is quickly making its way into my heart (and my summer closet). It comes in petite sizes 4–14.

Prettygarden Striped Cap-Sleeve Sweater

I actually gasped aloud when I stumbled across this cap-sleeve sweater — I had an almost identical one back in the ’90s. It falls in line with one of my favorite petite fashion hacks, too, since the cropped silhouette will be perfectly full-length on my 5-foot frame.

Gap Downtown Bermuda Shorts

Ever since I spotted Gwyneth Paltrow in a pair of Bermuda shorts, I’ve wanted them, too. These ones fit the style bill, thanks to a longer inseam that hits right above the knees on most people. They come in a variety of colors like black, olive green, and blue chambray, plus petite sizes 00–14.

Anrabess Jumpsuit with Spaghetti Straps

A fellow petite friend raved about this jumpsuit to me last year, and I’ll admit it’s been sitting in my cart unpurchased ever since. I’m definitely buying it now, though — I love the plunging V-neckline, adjustable spaghetti straps, deep front pockets, and slouchy pant legs that can be rolled up to capri length. 

Disamer Loose Tank Dress

I have a variety of summer vacations planned, and since I overpack to the absolute max, I’m always on the hunt for wrinkle-free dresses that don’t require bringing a steamer. Thankfully, this sundress is designed with a wavy, pintucked design that hides any creases or crinkles, and the gold hardware at the shoulders is a glamorous finishing touch.

Automet Mini Tennis Skirt with Attached Shorts

A tennis player, I am not — but in this mini tennis skirt with convenient attached shorts, I can still look the part. It comes in 15 colors, including Oprah Winfrey-approved sage green, plus sizes XS–XXL.

Burtell Striped Two-Piece Lounge Set

A subtly cropped tee and shorter shorts mean this matching set will work well for petite shoppers. One happy reviewer called it their “go-to travel set, lounge set around the house, or to even wear running errands,” adding that it’s “so cute, comfy, and flattering.”

Luvamia Cropped Wide-Leg Jeans with Front Pockets

A 26-inch inseam means these wide-leg jeans will actually be cropped on my petite frame, since my regular inseam is 29 inches. The front patch pockets are also reminiscent of the billowy silk pants that my style guru Katie Holmes wore recently, so I’m immediately on board. Choose from 17 washes and sizes XS–3X.

Nic+Zoe Cotton Lawn Smocked Dress

I’ve clocked so many celebs in black midi dresses over the past year, including Joanna Gaines, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, and Dakota Johnson. Now’s my chance to join the party with this petite-friendly version, which has a smocked bodice, wide scalloped shoulder straps, and a ruffled hem.

Lands’ End Sport Knit High-Rise Capri Pants

As soon as it hits 60 degrees Fahrenheit, I reach for capri pants. With a pull-on waistband, angled side pockets, and breezy cotton fabric, these ones are ready and waiting for all my summer adventures. Fellow petite shoppers said they’re “very comfortable” pants that are “so soft and durable.”

Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Capri Jeans

With a 21-inch inseam, these jeans elegantly toe the line between capris and Bermuda shorts. They have a zip-and-button fly and classic five-pocket styling, and they come in petite sizes 4–18.

Gap Favorite Crewneck T-Shirt

I’ve been on what feels like a decades-long mission to find a perfect-fitting white tee that isn’t too long for my short torso — so the fact that this Gap version comes in petite sizes is enough to make me cry happy tears. Plus, it’s similar to one Sofia Vergara wore recently, so I’ll be in excellent company.

Tommy Hilfiger A-Line Mini Dress

A colorful floral print and wrap-style bodice give this breezy mini dress visual interest. It’s finished with a horizontal seam under the bust and a subtly flared skirt, and it comes in petite sizes 0–14.
