Spring Workwear Capsule Series: White Jeans

I included a pair of white wide leg jeans from Banana Republic Factory. These jeans are true to size, not see through and they have a very petite-friendly 27.5″ inseam. I like that these jeans can be worn with flats by most petites and the denim is comfortable for sitting at a desk. If you want to add white jeans into your work capsule, but don’t love a wide-leg style, check out this roundup of petite white jeans. I styled them four ways for the capsule wardrobe.

Spring Workwear Capsule Series: White Jeans

My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size, that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.

Workwear is the most popular topic on my blog, but it’s also the most broad. I take all of your requests and occupations into account when I create outfit ideas but it’s difficult to nail each one with one post. So I tend to go with business casual overall and add ideas with jeans for those who can wear them. My hope is that I can offer up ideas for most people and build foundations that can be adjusted to your specific needs.

Capsule Items (in this post)

Cashmere T-Shirt XS in oatmeal

I chose a cashmere t-shirt from Quince for the capsule, but this cotton option from J. Crew Factory is a little bit less expensive and easier to care for than the Quince sweater. I could go with either one, I think it just comes down to material preference. They are both similar in color, the Quince sweater I’m wearing is oatmeal and the J. Crew Factory option is heather mushroom. For sizing reference, I’m wearing the Quince sweater in XS and wear the J.Crew Factory sweater in XXS.

Green Sweater XXS

Short sleeve sweaters offer up a polished look without being too warm outdoors. The green one I chose is from Abercrombie. It is thick and textured and I love the soft green. If you prefer a slimmer sweater, I would choose an option from Quince or J.Crew Factory that I linked above. To note – this sweater will layer, but if your blazer is well fitted, it was tricky to tuck the sleeves into.

Floral Cardigan Petite XXS

To add a little interest, I included a floral cardigan. This cardigan is lightweight and thin so it can be worn tucked in or untucked. It’s also a great top layer (although I failed to style any of the outfits that way). It has a slim fit, that I find to be overall true to size.

Striped Vest XXS

A vest is another piece that can be worn as a stand alone but also layers well. Although the vest looks great worn casually all by itself, I didn’t feel like it was appropriate to style it that way for work so I mostly used it as a base layer under a blazer and as a topper with a button down. You could also layer it open over the long sleeve white top and as a layer under the white cropped cardigan. You can use this piece in your casual wardrobe with jeans, shorts, and skirts.

Sage Blazer Petite 00

This blazer is relaxed and lightweight. To me, this blazer looks different online that it actually is in person. For that reason it was almost a return for me when I first bought it. The fabric is not structured, it’s very lightweight and has a little bit of drape to it. I ultimately kept it once I got over myself because I found that I loved it – even if it wasn’t what I expected from the photos. The color is soft and beautiful and because the sleeves are lightweight, they’re easy to wear pushed back. To note, this blazer is true to size, but the sleeves are a little bit long on me, so I need to cuff them or push them back.

Linen Blazer Petite 00

This blazer is very similar to the navy blazer, but is a slightly different fit. It is also from J.Crew so it has the same perfect petite fit. This blazer is linen, but is tightly knit so it wrinkles, but doesn’t wrinkle as heavily as some of my other linen pieces. I included it because I love the soft color (I’m wearing it in Flax Ivory) and love that it can dressed up and worn casually. It’s a piece that can work through many seasons as well.

Trench Coat petite 00

For a classic trench coat, the Icon Trench Coat from J.Crew is my top pick. If you’re a frequent reader of my blog – that’s not the first time I’ve told you that. The jacket is well proportioned for petites. It fits well through the shoulders and sleeves and isn’t too long and overwhelming in overall length. The hood is optional and the fabric is water resistant – so this one also works in light rain. I wear the jacket in my true size but it does run a little slim through the arms so you may want to size up if you prefer more room there.
