I’m in massive spring cleaning mode — but only when it comes to my closet. While every season brings tons of excitement over revamping my wardrobe, this year, I’m in search of tops that actually fit my 5-foot frame. Well, 4 feet 11 inches and three-quarters, to be exact. Luckily, this secret Amazon fashion section is brimming with spring tops just for petite shoppers like myself.
This spring, I’m mainly looking for petite-friendly clothing that checks off a variety of fashionable boxes. I already found plenty of pants and dresses for shorter people, so of course I have to get some new tops, too. The petite tops on Amazon include thousands of blouses, tees, and shirts with trending details like lace trim and puff sleeves — and they’re all designed to fit shorter torsos. I picked out the 10 best petite tops for spring from brands like Lands’ End, Nic+Zoe, and Madewell, and they start at just $15.

Shewin Frenchy Waffle-Knit Top
I’ve been not-so-subtly eyeing Reese Witherspoon’s annual return to eyelet tops, so of course I need to immediately add this shirt to my spring closet. I love the pretty puff sleeves and intricate waffle-knit; plus, the slightly shorter hem means it’s great for people with shorter torsos.
Nic+Zoe Waffle-Stitch V-Neck Sweater
Spring’s warmer daytime temperatures often give way to fairly chilly evenings, which means it’s important to have a lightweight sweater at the ready. I’m taking a page out of Martha Stewart’s style book — a.k.a. my sweater guru — with this soft, waffle-knit pullover with a V-neckline and ribbed trim.
Lyaner Lantern-Sleeve Cropped Button-Down Shirt
My favorite petite style hack is buying cropped shirts that hit right at the hips on my 5-foot frame — and this button-down definitely fits the bill. It’s designed with a four-button front, spread collar, and dramatic lantern sleeves, and it comes in 17 spring-ready colors.
Lands’ End Lightweight Jersey Tie-Front Top
This top has a wide scoop neckline, elbow-length sleeves, and a stylish tied detail at the front, and it comes in petite sizes XS–XL. Happy shoppers said it’s “super flattering” and “goes with almost anything.”
Bluetime Off-the-Shoulder Chiffon Blouse
If you peek inside my closet, you’ll find lots of one-shoulder, off-the-shoulder, and cold-shoulder tops. I’m definitely adding this off-the-shoulder option to my style rotation, since it has a subtly oversized silhouette and a shorter hem that hits right at the hips on most people. Plus, the floral print is right in line with the printed blouses trend seen on celebs like Kelly Clarkson and Sienna Miller.
Latuza Bamboo Viscose Long-Sleeve Top
This long-sleeve tee is perfect for more casual days spent running errands (or, okay, just lying on my couch bingeing Netflix). It comes in light pink, light gray, and black, and petite sizes S–XXL.
Yuccalley Crochet-Trim Crop Top
Crochet is starting to trend for spring — just ask Martha Stewart, who layered up in a lightweight crochet sweater recently. I love the subtle crocheted detailing on this top’s ruffled sleeves almost as much as the cropped fit, and fellow shorter shoppers agree. One petite reviewer, who received the shirt for free, said it “isn’t too boxy,” while another 5-foot-3 shopper said it’s “so soft and well made” and “fits perfectly.”
Intro Denim Roll-Tab Shirt
Denim shirts never go out of style — just ask celebs like Joanna Gaines, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Holmes, who all wore the staple piece in different ways recently. I love that this one actually comes in petite sizes S–XL, so it won’t be too long on my 5-foot frame. It has a slightly oversized fit with a full snap front, chest patch pockets, and rolled tabs at the cuffs.
Madewell Bella Slub Tee
I’ve been adding lots of cropped tees to my closet lately, and this Madewell one in soft, slub cotton jersey is definitely next on my list. It’s styled with a crew neckline, short sleeves, and a hem that hits right at the hips on most people.
Luvamia Button-Down Shirt with Ties
I’m planning on at least one Disneyland trip this spring, and this airy top is perfect for a Sleeping Beauty-inspired “Make it pink, make it blue” fashion moment in front of the castle. It has six loop-and-button closures down the front, a deep V-neckline, and three-quarter-length bell sleeves.
