I’m 5’2”, and when I shop online, I’m constantly wondering how something that looks great on a 5’7″ model will look on me. After trying so many pieces from Quince over the past year, I’ve narrowed it down to their true best sellers — the ones I actually kept and genuinely love because they flatter a petite frame.
Here’s what’s worth shopping (and how each piece fits on me).
Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
Sweater XS | Top XS | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
This $50 cashmere sweater is what first got me hooked on Quince. It’s thicker than I expected and has that buttery softness you want in a classic knit. I sized up to a small instead of my usual XS for that easy, layered look. The length is regular, but when you tuck the front into high-rise jeans, it looks intentionally styled — not boxy.
Petite tip: don’t wear it how the model does online! The tucked or half-tucked look makes all the difference on shorter frames.

If you want o look more elevated, you can also pair it with a dressier bottom like this gorgeous skirt I got from Mango.
Washable Stretch Silk Blouse
Top XS | Pants S/4P | Bag | Shoes
This silk blouse is so good. I grabbed it in brown the moment it launched — and I’m glad I did because that color sold out fast. I’m wearing a small, and the cut is perfectly drapey without being oversized. The neckline sits beautifully, and the silk has that expensive sheen that catches light softly.

When tucked in, it doesn’t puff up or bulk, and because the fabric is so lightweight, it layers beautifully under cardigans or blazers. It’s elegant, washable, and just works for petites.
100% Washable Silk Skirt
Sweater XS | Skirt S | Bag | Shoes
My most-worn Quince piece, hands down. I first bought this skirt in black, and now I have five colors — that should tell you how much I love it. I’m wearing a small, and on me (5’2”), it hits mid-calf, which reads like a midi-maxi hybrid — super elongating.
I’ve worn it to holiday parties with a silk halter top (everyone thought it was a dress!), and I also dress it down with a cashmere sweater and sneakers. It looks polished no matter how you style it.
Italian Wool Tailored Coat
Coat XS | Top XS | Skirt S | Shoes
This coat truly surprised me. I usually only get coats from petite lines like J.Crew or Ann Taylor, but I took a chance on this Italian Wool Tailored Coat (size XS), and it fits like a glove. It’s made of 80% wool, fully lined, and the tailoring feels luxury-level.
On me, it’s a maxi length (around 48″ from shoulder to hem) — the perfect long coat for dresses or skirts in cold weather. It’s warm, heavy, structured, and looks so elevated for $200. Absolutely worth the investment.
Mongolian Cashmere Fisherman Crewneck Sweater
Sweater XS | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
This one’s a little pricier at $99, but the texture and structure are so worth it. I’m wearing my true size XS, and it already has a relaxed, slightly cropped fit that hits just below the waistband — ideal for petites.
Sweater XS | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Boots
It’s thicker and cozier than the $50 version, and the ribbed knit gives it that high-end, chunky look without adding bulk. I pair it with ankle-length jeans or kick flares to keep proportions sharp.
Stretch Crepe Pleated Wide Leg Pants
Jacket XS | Pants S/4P | Bag | Shoes
These might be the holy grail of petite dress pants. I’m wearing a size S, 28″ length, and they fit like a dream — just grazing my shoes when I wear low heels. They come in multiple lengths and for petites, the 28″ is perfect.
The pleats add polish without puff, and the crepe fabric drapes like something double the price. I actually prefer these to my Aritzia Effortless Pants — they look just as good but cost half as much.
Mongolian Cashmere Midi Skirt
I’d been eyeing this cashmere skirt since last year and finally ordered it. I tried both small and medium since I’m between sizes (28″ waist, 37″ hips). The elastic waistband fits comfortably in both, but I kept the medium because it gave me a slightly more A-line shape — much more flattering.

On me, it’s longer than on the model (almost maxi length) and I love it that way. Longer skirts visually elongate petites and also keep you warm in colder climates.
Mongolian Cashmere Boxy Crewneck Sweater
Sweater XS | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
This sweater feels like butter — truly. I’m wearing an XS, and while it’s labeled “boxy,” it’s actually just relaxed. The material is thicker than Quince’s $50 signature sweater, and I love the weight of it — drapey but not heavy.
Sweater XS | Skort S | Bag | Shoes
I got it in Oatmeal, which looks slightly darker in person than on the website but still stunning. Once I tried it on, I didn’t want to take it off. It’s that good.
Bella Stretch Straight Jeans
Sweater XS | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
These are a petite girl’s dream jeans. I own them in three colors, and they’re only $50. They come in 26″, 28″, and 30″ inseams, and I go for the 26″ for that perfect ankle length.
Top XS | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
The rise is around 11″, sitting just above my belly button — high enough to elongate but still comfy. I love how they smooth everything out and make my legs look extra long. They’re so flattering I honestly don’t need to tailor them.
Shirt S | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
Mongolian Cashmere Boatneck Sweater
Saving the best for last — this is the sweater I’d buy again and again. I love it so much I got it in gray and brown. The boatneck neckline is what makes it special: elegant, versatile, and a little bit flirty.
Sweater S | Jeans 27/4P | Bag | Shoes
For everyday wear, I wear it as-is, but when I want to dress up, I just pull one side off the shoulder, and it instantly feels elevated. The material is soft, mid-weight, and incredibly comfortable. If you only get one thing from this list, make it this one.
These pieces are proof that Quince makes elevated, affordable basics that genuinely work for petites. From silk to cashmere to structured wool, each one has thoughtful fit details that flatter shorter frames without alterations.
I’m 5’2″, and if something makes me feel confident and proportioned — it’s worth keeping. These are the pieces I’ve worn, loved, and recommended again and again!
