For those who love looking chic and classy, seeking cool sophistication and clean silhouettes office wear for petite ladies, look no further, Theory is definitely a place to go. Presenting the new Fall Winter 2017 collection, Theory delivers all sorts of interpretations of the suit, filled with smart tailoring pieces, including double-breasted with high-waisted and pleated trousers in camel, slim in a pinstriped material, all manner of menswear checks and plaids, as well as their fantastic neutral color palette for the season.
Although Theory is not made for petites and it does not have a line specifically marked as “petite”, their clothes run small, and petite ladies can very often fit into Theory sizes 00 and 0 without need for tailoring. Their size 00 measures at a 22” waist and 34” hip, which is comparable to a size 0 petite at other retailers. However, for those extra petite ladies, the pieces’ length (especially for the pants and sleeves hem), might really need alterations, so they will want to find items that look “shrunken” or cropped on the models.
