I stuck to mainly minis and maxi jean dresses as they tend to be a lot more flattering and youthful than Midi’s which tend to be harder to pull off in thick fabrics unless they’re super fitted. Although the one above, looks effortlessly chic with knee high boots. I’ll keep updating this as new collections drop throughout the year.
There’s also a couple of petite women’s denim dresses on this edit. As denim can be bulky, so rather than drowning in fabric if you’re petite check out these styles.
