Best Basics for Petite Women at H&M

I have a guilty pleasure, and it’s spending hours poring over H&M’s new arrivals. I am under 1.60m tall, I love having a capsule wardrobe and I am proud of my selection. For that reason I believe I have the authority to say (loud and clear) that the basics from the Swedish brand have what all petite girls look for, namely, that they are good, beautiful and affordable.

Indeed, fashion is becoming more timeless, and within this aesthetic, it is possible to find elegant garments that fit well and that have notable quality at very affordable prices. Obviously, not all are the same, but when you find the ones that are worth it, they sell out quickly (and for good reason).

With the arrival of spring, the basics from H&M become floral, and while they don’t abandon their neutral tones, they also lean toward more daring and youthful shades such as olive green, candy pinks, or the details that make the difference so that petite girls look more flattering.

The best H&M basics recommended

White shirt with side tie, 29.99 euros. The white shirt is one of those basics that always work, but this model has a detail that makes it especially flattering for petites: the side tie. It helps define the waist and creates a more balanced silhouette.

Polka-dot midi dress, 19.99 euros. They are a classic that never goes out of style, and with the April Fair around the corner, it is a smart purchase. Moreover, this model has a clean vertical cut that lengthens the figure, especially if you wear it with pointed-toe shoes.

Black sleeveless top, 14.99 euros. This kind of basics are great allies in small wardrobes because they go with almost everything. This one, in particular, has a clean design that is very versatile, and you can wear it with high-waisted pants or skirts.

Blazer cruzada en tono neutro, 19,99 euros. Its simple design once again works in your favor because it adapts well to different body types, pairs with everything, and makes any look look elegant without needing to complicate things.

Top ruched in light color, 14.99 euros. I like it because it flatters any age, any style, and because it is very easy to incorporate into spring and summer looks. In addition, its cut also flatters petites a lot, because it helps the legs look longer.

Printed short dress, 29.99 euros. This type of dress is usually one of the most flattering options because they help visually lengthen the legs. Wear it with wedges and pull your hair into a bun to boost the effect.
