Ann Taylor is really dialed in when it comes to making the sort of petite styled clothing I want to wear. As a 5’3" woman, I’m sensitive to the petites pants, jeans and trends that are going to make me feel my best, and I turn to Ann Taylor to be a dependable maker of classic pieces that I can pull out of my closet and look and feel great in. This fall, plaids and sheath dresses are spiced up with bits of animal print and machine-wash satin. And the prices! A statement trench for less than $200. Work dresses you can machine wash. And yes, even the dresses are affordable, including an cool long-sleeve frock that is giving preppie along with a peep of leg. Scroll on to see my 15 selects from the recent collection, I’m sure like me you’ll find pieces to rotate into your petite capsule wardrobe.
