Glam but first coffeeSustainable Petite brands you had no idea existed. It is a big challenge to find petite brands in general. However, finding sustainable Petite fashion brands is even more difficult. How many petite-friendly, sustainable clothing brands do you know?
Sustainability in fashion matters, and with our purchasing power, we can make a significant impact in the world and the fashion industry. Eco-friendly Petite clothing has a better impact on the environment. As well as ethical clothing brands for Petites have no overproduction issues, as many other Petite retailers and brands. Benefits of buying from ethical brands include quality, longevity and supply chain transparency.
When choosing a sustainable Petite brand, look for natural and organic fabrics, transparent supply chain, Petite sizing, low waste packaging and certifications like GOTS and Fair Trade. Eco-conscious Petite clothing will be our future if we support the sustainable fashion brands enough.
Therefore, keep reading to discover these gorgeous sustainable fashion brands for short women under 5’4 (163cm).
Where to buy sustainable Petite clothes?
Sustainable Petite brands
Reformation
The brand has a Petite category with a variety of clothes. Reformation offers short women’s fashion basics, sustainable petite capsule wardrobe, as well as a lot of classy, trending pieces. The sustainable Petite brand offers natural fabrics like linen and cotton. I suggest looking into their Petite linen pants and the gorgeous dresses.
Eileen Fisher
Eileen Fisher offers clothing to minimalistic and aesthetic short women. The sustainable brand offers clothing for work, more business casual outfits than Reformation. Eileen Fisher has a lot of jackets and tops made of organic cotton. If I had to choose one piece, I would go for the linen or cotton button-up shirt- a must-have fashion essential.
Tradlands
Tradlands is not specifically Petite brand, but their cropped fits and unstructured tailoring work great for short women. While the brand does not offer a huge variety of clothes, it has a few basic linen and cotton pieces like dresses and pants. Tradlands is a small fashion brand focused on slow fashion.
Sotela
Sotela is not a Petite brand, but it is made to order sizing. can customise length and inseam for your Petite frame. The brand is made in California. It has an inclusive sizing and slow fashion ethos. Sotela offers comfortable and minimalist style. Last but not least, the brand is more affordable than the first bands I mentioned!
Petite Studio NYC
Petite Studio NYC is designed exclusively for short women with ethical production. I have been writing before about the Petite Studio NYC and even reviewed some of the clothing. So far, Petite Studio is the most affordable sustainable fashion brand with many seasonal items. The brand offers small-batch collections and transparent factory information. Petite Studio has fashion-forward, street style and office-to-evening wear. Last but not least, my personal favourites are the seasonal dresses.
Tips for building a sustainable Petite wardrobe
How to build a sustainable Petite capsule wardrobe? Start with versatile basics, like basic tops and tailored bottoms or jeans. Make a list of items you miss in your closet (do not shop spontaneously, and only clothes you need). Therefore, buy fewer items but better items of more natural fabrics. Consider thrifting and reselling (I sell on Vinted). Last but not least, mix and match with existing wardrobe. I call it- shopping in your closet.
Where to discover more sustainable petite brands?
Where to buy sustainable Petite clothes? If these brands are not enough, I suggest looking into websites like Etsy, Garmentory and Good on You. However, you can also look into Petite-focused slow fashion communities and forums.
There is still a long way to go towards sustainability and Petite fashion. However, more and more sustainable Petite brands arise because of the need in the fashion market. Most of the sustainable petite brands are pricey because of the quality. However, if you plan your expenses and shopping, making the list and wearing less but better clothing, it is not as bad as it can seem. It is all about the mindset (I am resetting my mindset as well).
