As someone who’s 5’1” and curvy, I greatly understand the struggles of finding quality fashion worth adding to my wardrobe. I also don’t like fast fashion and prefer to buy jeans, jackets, and other pieces that are going to last. And since trends inevitably go out of style, I like filling my closet with basics that I can wear for years to come.
I just didn’t realize how many highly rated, valuable pieces of clothing I could find for $10 or less until I scoured Walmart’s new and best-selling fashion. Better yet, I found various petite-friendly pieces worth adding to my wardrobe, especially before spring and summer arrive. Below, you can shop my picks, including flare dresses, classic T-shirts, cropped pants, and more starting at just $3.

Scoop Metallic Knit Flare Dress
I love the flattering style of this flare dress that’s both fitting and comfortable. It has a soft knit material that almost feels like loungewear, and its sleeveless design is ideal for warm weather but can easily be worn with tights and a jacket in the winter. It’s on sale for just $10 in black and also available in brown for $14.
Liv & Lottie Teddy Fleece Puffer Jacket
A puffer jacket for just $9 sounds too good to be true, but that’s the case for this best-seller. I’m eyeing this jacket as a simple, stylish, and comfy way to layer my outfits for the rest of winter into spring. It comes in sage green, light blue, black, brown, and white and looks like it would retail for at least quadruple its price. The jacket also has pockets, a front zipper, and elasticized cuffs at the end of its long sleeves.
Free Assembly Cotton Cropped Boxy Tee with Short Sleeves
This new arrival comes in four neutral colors — striped navy, gray, white, and black — and is made from 100 percent cotton with a relaxed and boxy fit. One 4’11” shopper said it’s the ideal T-shirt for them, noting that it hits right at their waist and that they plan on buying more in other colors. I’m stocking up on the $8 shirt to easily pair with many outfits.
Athletic Works Dri More Core Athleisure Bootcut Yoga Pants
These bootcut pants are bound to sell out, like these relaxed-fit yoga pants that petite shoppers scooped up fast. They come with an elastic waistband for extra comfort and a soft, flexible, and moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool and dry. One petite shopper said they’ve bought at least 15 pairs of these pants from this brand over the past 20 years, noting that they are flattering, stretchy, and great for moving around at work.
