Petite Autumn and Winter Coats

Clockwise from top left: A // 2nd // three // four // Five // Six // Seven // Eight // Nine

Here in New England, it’s time to do my seasonal storage swap and reunite with my favorite coats and boots (I’m so excited to break this lightweight) Sam Edelman combat boots Again)! Below are a few of my essential categories for a solid coat closet. If you’re building a timeless wardrobe or renovating an old one, I’d start with a trench coat and a tailored jacket, because together they will meet most of your clothing needs and the styles truly stand the test of time!

• Trench coat
• personalized wool jacket
• cozy teddy / sherpa jacket
• down fluffy coat
• plaid coat

In outerwear, petite sizes always sell out first, so I’ve scoured the web for well-stocked vintage selections starting in 00 or xxs petite. Macy’s is actually a great petite coat selection from a number of brands and is currently running a big fall sale!

1. trench

• Great reviews: Banana Republic timeless trench (xxsP – LP)
• Removable hood, reviews mention thin running: London Fog classic trench (xxsP – xxlP)
• Oversized midi size suitable for minions: Nasty Gal oversized trench (0P – 10P)
• Classic tan trench: Lauren Ralph Lauren petite trench (xxsP, xlP)
• Drapey trench: A+F curtained trench. Just regular sizing so sleeves will be long but overall length works for a petite one. I have an older version that I love and wear regularly!
