Petite Suits

Anyone under 5,4 is considered to belong in the petite section. The term 'petite' comes from the French language and means small, or as we like to define it - attractively small and dainty. Unfortuantely, it can often be a struggle for petite women to find a size that also goes perfectly with their proportions. That's why at Sumissura made it one of our missions to make clothes that are meant to fit you - not the other way round.

Every body is unique and beautiful. Today's standard sizes in the market, make it difficult to find clothing items that give you the most flattering fit. Here's a small guide with a few styling tips that will make your shopping much easier:

Chunky items, such as bags, shoes or accessories may end up overpowering your figure. For that reason, it is best to go with delicate jewelry or shoes and bags with thin straps.

Oversized pieces may have a 'swallow' effect on petite figures. It's best to balance oversized clothing items with sharper pieces. For instance, if you're wearing an oversized top, it's best to combine it with fitted pants, such as skinny jeans or leggings. This way, you'll create a more harmonious outfit.

Maxi skirts can be problematic, as they will make you appear shorter. Instead, you can opt for for shorter skirts that sit on or above the knee. The skirt fabric can also have an influence, and it's recommended to go with floatier fabrics that have more movement.
