2. Banana Republic's petite line of suiting, dresses, and sophisticated separates.
"I’m 5’0”, and I buy all my work clothes at a Banana Republic outlet store. Their petite items fit perfectly, no hemming necessary! They also have awesome skinny jeans. They are constantly doing sales on the entire store, so it ends up being a great deal!" —Stacy S.

"Old Navy, y’all! I can always shop their petites section online and know I won’t have to hem anything, even without trying stuff on.

Plus they have awesome sales, and their prices are reasonable even when there isn’t one." —Shanna C.
