4 WINTER COATS FOR SHORT WOMEN

In today’s article, I will be sharing with you the list of Winter Coats for Short Women.

Shopping for a winter coat when you’re 5’4” and under is, how do we put this lightly, really friggin’ hard.

Between silhouettes that drown your smaller frame in yards of bulky fabric, sleeves that always have to be cuffed, and hemlines that practically drag on the ground as you walk, finding a decent winter coat that fits is the plight of short gals everywhere.

But hope is not all lost. Believe it or not, there are plenty of winter coats out there that not only fit how they should but, dare we say, actually look amazing on shorter gals. Our advice? Search for coats that hit at the mid-calf or higher.

This length works wonders when it comes to keeping your body warm without overwhelming your shorter stature.

Styles that are tailored closer to your body as opposed to those with a looser, boyfriend fit also work well.

Or, opt for one with a belted or cinched waist, which will help to define your figure and elongate your silhouette, creating the illusion that you’re taller than you actually are. Win-win.

If the idea of shopping for a coat still feels overwhelming, we totally get it. That’s why we went ahead and did the shopping for you.

From budget-friendly options to splurges that are definitely worth the investment, we found four of the best winter coats for petite women that don’t fall short.

The most fashionable way to fight off winter’s chill? With a neutral-toned, fur-lined coat of course.

Stay warm during the upcoming snow flurries (and look darn good doing it) with the help of toasty sherpa-lining and a faux-fur hood.

And although we’re not saying you can’t pull off less-fitted coat styles, having some structure in your coat’s shape, like this option from Nine West, definitely helps your outerwear fit your tiny torso better.

Plus, if the fur isn’t really your vibe, or you just want to wear this on a day with non-frostbite-inducing weather, the faux-fur hood is removable.

The nipped-in waist helps give the illusion of a longer torso, while the broad collar draws the eyes upward and the coat’s shorter cut tricks the eye into thinking you’ve got legs for days.

Puffer coats are, well, puffy. So tracking one down that doesn’t transform you into a 5’2″ sized marshmallow is a bit tricky.

Our tip is to look for one that hits right above your hips, helping to elongate your legs.
