Is High Street Shopping Worth The Trip For Petite Women?
Let's Talk: Is Shopping Petite on the High Street Still Worth It?
You spot something you love online, but wouldn't it be nice to actually try it on before buying? Yet when you head into a shop, where's the petite section?
I recently spent over an hour looking for petite clothing at John Lewis on Oxford Street. I was pleasantly surprised to find some clearly signposted petite rails and petite options but the offering was still limited and the ease of finding them was varied. But it was a change to what i’d experienced in the past, and a change for the better. I’ll be sharing more of my thoughts and findings on the availability of petite fashion on the high street soon, but it got me wondering: at a time where many brands have begun expanding into petite ranges online, how much of that is being reflected in physical stores?
