As a Fashion Stylist, I am always asked by women how to choose clothing that best suits their particular body shape. We all come in different shapes & sizes, and sometimes this can be tricky. I'll begin today by addressing petite women. Here are a few tips to help:
Petite Women: Your objective is to make your legs look as long as possible & create a strong verticle line from head to toe.
CHOOSE:
* monochromatic outfits
* high-waisted tops & dresses
* fluid fabrics
* minimal accessories & flourish
* vertical lines (i.e. center seam down pants)
* medium high heels
* pant lengths should reach the floor
The DON'TS for petites:
* Stiff fabrics
* Tops that hit at the waistline (cuts you in half)
* Horizontal lines
* Pleated pants
* Mid-calf length skirts
* Cropped pants
* Anything "little girlish"
* Anything baggy
