All The Petite Ladies by Mztonya: 9:13am On Nov 30, 2014 |
So we petite ladies have had issues with choosing the right outfits,hope we can learn from this rules and also drop those we know 1. Keep garments simple and uncluttered and small to medium in scale. Large patterns will swamp your frame, big collars will make you look smaller. Keep the scale of your garments in proportion to your height and weight. 2. Avoid too much fabric. Lots of extra fabric such as in waterfall cardigans or jackets, will overwhelm you. You are best in a more slim, formfitting line rather than lots of gathers, pleats and volume. 3. Shoes matter. You are best in a low vamp shoe, and in a shoe colour that either blends with your trousers, tights or legs. Knee high boots are a fabulous option for you. 4. A column of colour is your best friend. Keeping the line of colour unbroken will really elongate your frame. Dresses are fabulous for you as they do that in one garment. Keep your dresses to either knee length, or go maxi, but remember if you go maxi, not too much fabric, a lean fluid line is what you require. 6. Only one focal point. Tall women can carry off multiple focal points. You are a smaller canvas, so one focal point at a time, but make sure you have one to direct the eye to where you want the focus of your outfit to be. 7. Say yes to V-necks V-necks elongate your look and flatter your petite frame. So keep your eye out for v- neck tops or dresses. 8. Go for prints – just find the right size print I LOVE fun, bright color prints just as much as the next girl. But as a petite girl, we should avoid very large prints—those can overwhelm your frame. I once read the advice that the print shouldn't be larger than your fist. Not sure what the exact rule should be, but I think a print that makes a statement without being too overwhelming. 9. Wear all one color Wearing all one color helps create a vertical line and can look super chic. Pull off this look with separates or a jumpsuit 10. Combine high & low I think the high-waisted look elongates the frame and looks great on petite girls. When paired with a top tucked in, you can look super chic and put together. Also, don't be afraid to go short on the length - just because your legs are shorter than the Gisele's of the world, doesn't mean they're not fabulous! At the end of the day, it's all about proportion I truly believe you can wear almost anything, as long as it's the right proportion to your petite frame. Yes, that goes for "controversial" items such as crop jeans and maxi dresses. You just have to pay particular attention to where things fall on your body. Make sure the tops of sleeves sit on your shoulder, that skirt lengths don't fall on in the mid-calf region and that sleeves aren't too long ( culled from the internet) |
