If you do a quick google search for “autumn winter fashion trends 2021” you would be inundated with guides from all of your favourite publications. What you may not find though, is something suited just for you. As a petite woman myself, I sometimes find it difficult to relate to the trends I see on the 6ft something models strutting down the runway. Many a time, if I try to recreate an exact look what I was going for and what I land up with are two very different things. Luckily over the years I’ve learnt a few styling tricks to adapt my favourite runway looks for the streets. This year, I wanted to share that knowledge with you with my dedicated guide on how to style the coolest A/W 2021 trends for all you petite ladies out there. 

There are of course some trends here that I have not listed which arguably are in trend every season. This includes knit dresses, co-ords and vests, faux fur and shearling, tartan and sparkles. So keep these in mind for the season too! 

Off White

HIGHLY SATURATED

It’s all about positive, happy dressing and that means embracing every colour in the box. Add a touch of colour to your otherwise classic look or go bold for a top to toe ombré. 

Style Tip

Don’t be afraid of a bold look if you are petite. Opt for accessories that elongate your figure. For example, pointy toed shoes will make you look taller.

CUT IT OUT

As we’ve seen on the recent S/S 2022 runways, the cut out trend is very much here to stay. Although it may seem counterintuitive to be showing even more skin when it’s cold outside, it’s all about clever layering and showing just a touch of skin.

Style Tip:

With any trend that showcases skin, always embrace balance. If you’re opting for a knit top with cut outs, opt for slim fitting trousers. Cut outs on the top half of your body are also more flattering! 

Jacquemus

PUFFERS

Perhaps last year we would have been excused for simply walking around with our favourite blanket, but as we return back to our lives this year, we are upgrading to the puffer coat. 

Style Tip:

This style always seems intimidating for petite women as we are afraid it might wear us rather than us wearing it. Pair a puffer coat with slim fitting silhouettes to highlight your figure and create balance. 

It’s the return of fashion.

TAILORING

This is one of my favourite trends of the season and one I plan to embrace more. Tailored pieces, especially when they fit well will always look chic. 

Style Tip:

The key to this trend is to make sure that the pieces are indeed tailored to you. I always like to invest in tailoring my items further so they are the perfect fit. This is how you can also pull off an oversized fit, as it’s altered to your proportions. 

Fendi

MINI SKIRTS

If you’ve been following me for a while you know I LOVE a mini skirt moment so I am so excited to see this style back in trend. That being said, I’m a huge advocate for wearing what you love, whether trending or not, especially if it suits you. Shorter hemlines always look fabulous on petite women so you know you’ll do great with this one! 

Style Tip:

If you’re wondering how to keep warm with a mini skirt in winter, style with over the knee boots and tights. Make sure to leave a gap between the top of your boots and the hem of your skirt to show a bit of skin (or skin under tights!) to elongate the figure.
