If you’re petite, or as more commonly referred to, short, then you need to create long lean shapes. Because you are, literally, a little girl, you need to avoid anything that’s going to detract from the fact that you’re a fully grown woman.
OPT FOR
- Clean shapes
- Heels (but avoid heavy ankle straps)
- Compact accessories
- Extra long jeans and pants – wear them with heels and your legs look much longer
AVOID
- Anything that makes you look like a boy
- The ‘chop’ effect (division of top and bottom)
- Cuffed or cropped pants (including rolled jeans)
- Any sort of detailing that is ultra feminine (bows or ruffles)
