A petite leather jacket is typically smaller in size and slightly more fitted than other leather jackets. These jackets are designed for short-heightened women to suit their body size. Any woman below 5'4" is considered petite. Standard sizes are not suitable for petite women, who usually have shorter torsos and arms. Also, it is impossible to find flattering jacket styles that make you appear taller, as standard jackets aren't built for petite specific proportions. In a nutshell, petite leather jackets are made to fit a smaller frame to make them appear lean and fit.

You can find the best leather jackets for petite and extra petite frames at Leather Skin Shop. We offer top-quality leather jackets for women of all sizes at a competitive price and with great discounts.

Petite Leather Jacket Fit Guide

Petite leather jackets are designed for women 5’4” and under, with a bust of 32-38 inches (81-97 cm), waist of 24-30 inches (61-76 cm), and hips 32-38 inches (81-97 cm). A perfect petite leather jacket must feature shorter sleeve lengths, cropped hems, and proportioned shoulders for a perfect fit. If you are gifted with a petite body type, the following tips should not be ignored for a perfect fit:

• Proportion is Key: Aim for jackets that end at the hip or waist to avoid overwhelming your frame.
• Sleeve Length: Look for jackets with shorter sleeves or be prepared to roll them; check reviews for specific sleeve fit.
• Tailoring: A snug, fitted look is best; leather will loosen over time to mold to your shape.
• Details: Wide lapels frame the neck, while belts define the waist, both enhancing a petite silhouette.

Best Petite Leather Jackets for Short Women

Our best-selling petite leather jackets include cropped biker styles, tailored blazers, and lightweight bomber jackets designed to elongate your frame. Here’s how:

• Cropped Biker Style: Essential for petites, as they hit at the waist, balancing proportions and making legs appear longer, especially with high-waisted bottoms.
• Moto Jackets: A slim-fit, genuine leather moto with a tailored, belted hem creates a great frame for smaller figures and narrow waists, and is therefore the style all petite women love.
• Bomber Jackets: Cropped bombers with elasticated hems sit comfortably at the waist, adding a cool, non-bulky look for season based layering.
• Tailored Blazers: For a polished workwear option, a structured blazer with a sleek finish elevates any outfit.
