A petite top is a shirt, blouse, or tee that is specially designed for women who have a smaller frame or shorter height, usually under 5'3". These tops have shorter sleeves, narrower shoulders, and a body length that is scaled down to fit petite proportions. If you are petite, the best tops to wear are V-neck and scoop-neck tops since they can make your neck look longer. Tops with shorter hemlines often help your legs look longer as well. It’s also a good idea to choose tops with vertical details, because these can add the illusion of height. Tailored blouses are also great options, especially when paired with high-waisted pants or skirts, so your waistline appears higher and your legs seem longer.
