Calling all short beauties!
While buying beautiful dresses is beautiful, selecting the right one that complements your physique can be daunting.
However, say no more! Here are five fashion tips for you ladies who are short, each of which is tailor-made to make you proud of your height.
From footwear to apparel, here’s how you can make the right choices.
Footwear
Try wearing nude-colored pumps
Avoid wearing bright-colored heels and instead go for nude-colored footwear, especially pumps to create an illusion of longer legs.
Nude pumps also look extremely classy and stylish.
Additionally, nude-colored footwear is not visually distracting and blends with your original skin color, making you look taller.
Avoid wearing ankle straps as they create horizontal lines on the ankle.
Elongate your figure
Go for vertical stripes
While horizontal stripes make you look heavy and wide, vertical stripes make you look slim and taller by tricking the viewer’s eyes.
These stripes elongate your figure and maximize your height.
However, avoid thick stripes and go for thin ones as they are hard to focus on.
You can buy jackets, trousers, t-shirts, jumpsuits, and shirts that have vertical stripes.
Neckline
Wear deeper necklines
Avoid tees and singlets with higher necks and go for deeper necklines like a shirt unbuttoned a little lower than usual or a v-neck top or dress.
Deeper necklines elongate your frame and make you look taller as they create an illusion of length.
You can even pair a lower neck top with a midi skirt or jeans.
Dresses
Maxi and wrap dresses are your best friend
If you are short and petite, then avoid wearing shirt dresses that can swallow you up and make you look shorter.
Instead, go for wrap or gathered dresses that can balance your figure.
You can also try maxi dresses that narrow down at the bottom and make you look leaner and taller. They also make your legs look longer than usual.
Jeans
Try high-waist skinny straight-leg jeans
While loose-fitting and baggy jeans are in trend now, they do not look much flattering on short girls as they look oversized and draw attention to the petite frame.
Instead, invest in a good pair of high-waist skinny straight-leg fit jeans that make your legs look longer and hips narrower.
Go for ankle or cropped length for the perfect fit.
