I’ve compiled six common but easily overlooked fashion mistakes that petite women make. Let’s take a look together~
1. Avoid cropped pants and shorts
The first rule is that petite women should avoid wearing cropped pants and shorts as much as possible.
Both cropped pants and shorts can make your legs look shorter and divide your body into two equal parts, making you look even shorter.
2. Don’t wear skirts that end right at the knee
Summer is also the season for wearing skirts, especially these versatile mid-length skirts.
However, when choosing, we must avoid selecting skirts that end right at the knee, as they can make your legs look shorter and thicker, exposing your figure’s flaws.
For short skirts, choose a length about 10 cm above the knee, which is less likely to expose you and makes you look taller.
3. Don’t let long skirts cover your ankles
If you’re wearing a long skirt, you should avoid lengths that cover your ankles. Instead, opt for skirts that expose your ankles and cover your calves.
So when buying skirts in the summer, pay attention to the length. I usually choose skirts no longer than 75 cm.
This is a skirt I recently bought. The length is manageable for petite women, and most importantly, the fabric has a beautiful sheen with a rippling effect.
4. Avoid low-waisted dresses
I’ve been evaluating dresses recently and found that low-waisted dresses really make you look short.
You can choose high-waisted styles that not only hide belly fat but also make you look taller.
5. Crossbody bags should not hang below the hip line
We’ve covered pants and skirts, but sometimes the choice of accessories is also crucial.
For example, when wearing a crossbody bag, don’t choose one with a strap that’s too long. Select a bag that doesn’t hang below the hip line when worn.
6. Don’t choose oversized bags
In addition to the length of the strap, the size of the bag is also key.
Petite women have a smaller overall presence and are not suited to carrying oversized bags.
You can choose medium-sized bags for a more balanced overall look.
I’ve written many articles on petite women’s fashion tips, but the more I write, the more hesitant I become.
Because I’ve realized that fashion is a very subjective matter, and often there is no right or wrong.
Of course, if your goal is to learn how to dress in a way that makes you look taller and slimmer, then today’s article can serve as a reference, but it can’t help you find your own style and personality.
To develop your own fashion style, which can sometimes be unconventional, you need to break free from some rules and ultimately find yourself.
I recently heard a saying: “A girl naturally likes pretty colors and small pets. If a girl doesn’t like these things, I wouldn’t like her either. But a girl should go beyond all that.“
I hope you can discover your true self and become a passionate, free, and brave person.
