Getting dressed in the Winter [1] is one thing: cocooning yourself in a coat three sizes too big is quite another. While my bestie might look like a million bucks in a floor-length coat, booties, and a beanie, at 5'1", I'd be disappearing into my outerwear, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If you're a petite gal and you're looking to show off your outfit when you step outside, but actually keep warm, we have some tips for you — and they're a little more exciting than "buy hand warmers." Ahead, we've curated 24 different ensembles that you can try to highlight your figure, even though you're in layers. Whether you need new night-out ideas [2] or office appropriate combinations, we're here for you in a big way.
