You come into this category if you are 5ft 3 or under. I’m sure you tend to have the same consistent problems when out shopping – everything is too long for you. You try to roll up your jeans bottoms, but they still end up looking wet and soggy from puddles! Your best option is to shop in stores with a designated petite section, which is becoming more and more popular. However, look out for some stores that have different lengths amongst their clothing.
When dressing you want to elongate your body, to prevent yourself from appearing so small. Rather than breaking up the body, a head to toe look in one colour helps to make you look longer and leaner. Short dresses are also a must, as they draw the eye down the body to the legs, making them appear longer. Add high heels to make the legs appear slender and longer than they actually are. Try to stay away from dresses that fall below your knee and thigh boots, as these cut your body in half and make you look all bits and pieces. These also applies to layers – too many can often make you look shorter than you are, as it is highlighting individual sections of your body.
Keep printed patterns in proportion to the body and try and go for a vertical stripe. Below is a prime example from Zeleb of the style of dress to wear:
