Tops and skirts
To look stunning, you mustn’t forget about maintaining the right figure proportions. Your choice of clothes plays a significant part in this. Wearing your top loose “cuts” your figure in half, making your torso look bulkier and longer while “shortening” your legs. It’s better to wear the top tucked into the skirt as this will highlight the waist, “lengthen” the legs, and generally make your figure more fragile and slender. Another option is to wear a cropped top and skirt set.
Belts and shoes
If you like wearing shoes or sandals that buckle at the ankle, make sure the straps match the tone of your skin. When it comes to shoes, clashing colors or bulkiness can make your legs appear much shorter. You should also avoid wide belts. The photo on the left shows a belt creating a visible horizontal line, thus making the torso look wider. Meanwhile, vertical lines (a dress without a belt, lighter-colored shoes) make us noticeably taller and slimmer.
Jackets and blazers
Petite girls shouldn’t wear voluminous or elongated jackets, suits, or blazers – they visibly shorten the legs and make the silhouette blurred and unwieldy. It is advisable to choose jackets and blazers that are small in volume, cropped, and fitted up to the waist or slightly below. You should also be careful when it comes to choosing your bags. The best option for petite girls is a small bag of a width not exceeding 10-11 inches. The currently fashionable shopper bags are likely to make your overall image more cumbersome. If you prefer backpacks, they too should be small and have neat geometric shapes.
