At the Beach
A swimsuit is a must packing for a beach vacation. When looking for a swimsuit, high-waist bottoms look the best for petite sizes. The high cut makes your legs look extra long and the high waist is so flattering. You’ll also want to look for cover-ups that are not too baggy so that it doesn’t swallow your figure. Don’t forget your fav pair of sunnies!

Out to Dinner
When looking for a dress, shorter inseams are best. Midi lengths or knee length cut your leg length visually. Try an off-the-shoulder style to change up your wardrobe! Add on a necklace with some beading for a fun beachy vibe.

Take some time to get those souvenirs and gifts for those back home. You’ll want to wear something loose and comfy as you spend your day browsing the shops.

Traveling Home
Stay comfy for the trip home and opt for a chic tank/ biker short combo. For the biker shorts, be sure to find a pair with a short inseam. Sometimes biker shorts have a regular inseam that hits at the knee for petite women. This makes your proportions less balanced. Slip on some birks for a comfy trip home!
