The Best Styling Tips for Shorter and Petite Women

When we say petite fashion, it means women who are 5’4 or under. When we say clothing named as petite, it means outfits that are designed for shorter women that emphasize their curves and structure.

Petite fashion is never easy! Don’t we all agree? That is why trendy women’s clothing brings to you this guide of what works and does not work when it comes to petite fashion.

Let’s check it out!

Flares are the biggest hit in the fashion industry of the 70s. However, these retro jeans are back in trend and perfect for our petite babes. Shorter girls must go for high-waisted flare jeans that begin at the knee and pair them with high heels for an illusion of longer legs.

 

Maxi Dresses with a split –

Maxi Dresses may be overwhelming for some shorter girls, especially the ones with longer sleeves. To give more definition to your outfit and highlight your best features, shop for a maxi dress from women's clothing online boutiques which has a side split. Rolling up the sleeves can make a huge difference too.

 

Avoid floaty fabrics –

We understand that every woman wishes to look younger than their actual age. And many women experiment with their style and outfits and some fail miserably. Petite women – avoid floaty fabrics! Instead, select two pieces that nip and tuck at your waist and show off your figure to full effect. This will also give you a more grown-up-like vibe.

Structured skirts and blazers work the best for you. Just make sure that they are high-waisted.

Choose the skirts that sit above your knees –

Select a skirt that sits just above your knees. They give an illusion of longer legs. For shorter women, maxi and midi skirts must be avoided as they make you look even shorter.

 

Avoid chunky shoes if you are wearing a skirt that is below your knees –

Chunky shoes will draw the eyes quickly to your feet. There is so much more going on above, that your outfit will not be noticed first, and your shoes will grab the attention instead.

Ankle strap heels are fine. Just make sure that the strap is thin and delicate.

 

Wear tapered trousers –

Baggy fabrics are going to swamp your figure. You must completely avoid them. Instead, wear well-fitted trousers that taper at the ankle. The trendy online boutique has an amazing collection of tapered trousers for you to choose from.

 

Choose ankle-length boots instead of knee-high –

Let’s be real, anything above the ankle cuts off your already short legs, that may be unflattering at places. Go for ankle boots. They go very well with above-the-knee-length skirts that we earlier recommended.

 

Go for shorter jackets –

Short blazers that nip around the waist are perfect for giving more definition to your body. Go for cropped, tailored jackets instead of duster coats any day!

 

Use layers to create that perfect fit –

If a piece of clothing you wear is fine in some spots and loose on others, the best way to give an illusion of the perfect fit is to add layers. You can shop for well-fitted blazers from online boutiques USA.

 

Cuff long shirts at the elbow –

Flowy long-sleeved shirts dwarf shorter women. By cuffing up the sleeves at elbow length it can emphasize shape and make you look more polished.

 

Be confident in whatever you wear –

Everything you wear should not be to make you look taller. You must embrace your body and love what you wear. Feeling confident in whatever you wear is always a good idea.
