The best Petite holiday outfits for winter looks and Christmas parties. The holiday season means sparkle, parties, and cosy gatherings, but as a petite woman (4’11 “/150cm exactly), finding festive outfits that flatter isn’t always easy.

Short women experience a lot of troubles and problems with clothing and fashion. Therefore, for us it is more difficult to shop, style and wear different outfits than an average regular woman. Some of the problems Petite women experience include long hemlines, oversized fits, and bulky layers that overwhelm their short frame.

In this guide, I will share the best petite holiday outfits for Christmas parties, winter dinners, and festive nights out styles that make Petites look chic, tall and holiday-ready.

Petite holiday outfits for every occasion

Cosy Christmas at home outfits (stylish but comfortable)

Petite-friendly sweater dress

What does a petite-friendly sweater dress look like? A sweater dress with sleeves not too wide and long. As well as the sweater dress that is not too loose and chunky. However, a dress must be cosy and warm. The knitted dress I ordered a year ago has a V-neck line, cute cuts on the sides and makes me feel very festive while at home. Last but not least, this is a perfect outfit for home, or style the sweater dress with leather leggings for casual Christmas outfit.

Loungewear sets and pants for short women

Only recently have I started to appreciate a good lounge wear pants. As a Petite woman, I avoid buying bottoms when I can. However, I won a giveaway once from LOVALL, and it included their gorgeous black (and Petite) loungewear pants, and that is how my love started!

Cute Christmas sweaters

What is a Christmas season without lovely sweaters? But they do not have to be ugly sweaters. Therefore, do not click away- I approve luxurious-looking, soft and cute Christmas sweaters for short women. Each year I add some new ones, either they are more cheesy, more chunky or more outgoing! However, you can learn how to style your Christmas sweater for going out in three chic ways,

Cheesy but cozy pyjamas and onesies

Petite holiday outfits must include pyjamas. I have always been in love with warm, soft winter pyjamas. There is something special about slow and early winter mornings. You have the cosy pyjamas on, you make your coffee, enter the living room, your Christmas tree is up, you light a candle and have a slow morning. Can you feel it yet?

However, I stepped up the lever when I bought the cutest Christmas onesie in Pepco. If you have a Pepco or similar store in your country which sells seasonal fashion, I suggest you to visit it this festive season. However, the best part is that the onesie is petite-friendly.

Petite-friendly Christmas Party dresses

Mini dresses and skirts that elongate legs

Firstly, anything mini always works as you expose more skin, and it lengthens your legs. Secondly, if you add the warm, cosy and soft-looking white, even better. Monochromatic light outfits will look amazing during the festive season. Like a modern-day Snow White. However, the white sweater also has transparent sequins that shine in light and adds more festive feeling. I love to wear white sweaters during winter, just like white coats. Therefore, this outfit would be a great Christmas Eve outfit.

Petite black midi dresses for the Black Swan look

Recently, I got the perfect black dress for Christmas and winter parties in general. It is a perfect Petite dress, with added feathers for a more glamorous and festive look. The dress is of very good quality, and the high slit visually lengthens your Petite frame even more. I suggest you choose any midi slit dress. Last but not least, style the holiday dress with black or golden high heel shoes and wear a golden sequin clutch.

Suede dresses (make it red)!

There is something special about suede fabric for Christmas and winter season outfits and holiday dresses. However, add a suede dress in red and make it even more elegant and festive. Now you look like Mrs Santa Claus. I love the midi suede red dress I own- sleeves fit, it has a cute side slit, it cinches in the waist, and has a low V-neckline.

Tulle is your Christmas festive friend

The only thing I will tell you about this outfit- white tulle that shows a little bit of leg for extra height and my candle cane Christmas sweater – the perfect Christmas outfit!

Petite satin dress for classy nights

Everyone needs a classy, elegant satin dress (use code KRISTINE15) for a special occasion, in case you are going to a theatre or any other special place. I have talked and written a lot about the gorgeous, asymmetric satin red dress that I own. However, I will mention and link it until all my Petite followers have it. It is one of the best, most amazing, flattering dresses I own, and every Petite woman must have.

Petite work holiday party outfit ideas

Chic satin midi skirts with fitted tops

Satin is one of the best fabrics for short women. The fabric is sleek, fits on the body and creates an hourglass look for any petite woman. The satin midi skirt is a very elegant clothing, appropriate for office wear and work. Last but not least, style the satin skirt with festive sweaters, fitted tops or tweed jackets for a formal yet festive Christmas party look.

Tweed sets and tweed mini skirts

Chanel will approve that nothing is more classy and appropriate for office Petite holiday outfits than tweed and plaid mini skirts. Therefore, the sequin tweed mini skirt is my favourite winter piece to wear.

Pleated maxi skirts for Petite outfits

A pleated skirt is a perfect piece for your office holiday parties. The skirt is festive, appropriate and feminine. However, the vertical pleats and lines visually lengthen your Petite frame.

Petite New Year’s Eve outfit ideas

Metallic mini dresses or skirts for Petites

Metallic skirts, just like sequins, create the perfect shine and light game for the perfect New Year’s Eve. However, as a short woman, I chose the high-waist design, cinched-in waist mini skirt with the gorgeous sparkle.

Statement sequins that do not overwhelm

Pink is not popular for New Year’s Eve parties. However, if you are having a girls’ night out or a date night, I would totally choose the pink feather trim dress. Therefore, the bodycon mini design is a perfect choice for Petites.

Winter accessories for Petite holiday outfits

• White Snow White boots. If you look at the photos, you will see I styled my white boots in most of them.
• Red beret for any outfit. One of my favourite accessories in my closet is my red beret. Therefore, I wear it with everything, but specifically with white and black outfits.
