Wearing black will never go out of style. It’s chic and always elevates an outfit; at work, it adds a level of professionalism. Here are five outfits for the office, with neutral colors and black bottoms – all petite-friendly and unaltered.

Petite-Friendly Black Outfits for Work
Sizing reference: I’m 4’10” and around 105lbs. I list my sizing by each item to help you compare while shopping online.
All Black
Last week on Instagram I shared a Reel with a few things I ordered from Zara that were a complete fail for me. One of the pants had a high rise fit with a straight leg and I was so hoping they would fit. They didn’t – but this pair does! This pair is also light and breathable, perfect for the summer heat. I’m wearing them in Petite 00 and they’re true to size. The sweater shell I’m wearing in multiple outfits in this post. It’s classic and also comes in other colors. it’s such a great basic I would definitely buy it in multiple colors. I’m wearing it in Petite XXS.

With Flats
Even with flats, a pair of black pants look elevated. I’m still wearing this lightweight cardigan from Amazon regularly, it fits perfectly in XS. The white top is an affordable Kohl’s find I think you’ll love. I’m wearing it in Petite XS and find it to be true to size.

Wide Leg Pants
This pair of wide-leg crops is the best I’ve found for Petites. I’m wearing them in Petite 00 and they fit true to size. There are also other color options. The top is a little bit oversized, so you may want to size down. I’m wearing the top in Petite XXS. I’ve also worn this pair of pants in dark green on the blog.

With a Blazer
I swapped the shoes and added a blazer to the first outfit in this post to create this one. Of course, the blazer can come off outdoors in the summer heat. This blazer is the Parke blazer from J.Crew. It’s on the expensive side, but it’s the best all-around blazer I’ve tried.
