Spring and summer are the best seasons to showcase your personal charm, and for petite women, color coordination is a crucial aspect.
Some colors, although trendy or attractive, can make petite women appear shorter.
Overly dark or highly saturated colors can make you look smaller. Here are four colors to avoid:
1. Black
Black is a versatile color that can perfectly match with any other color.
It’s also a color that exudes sophistication, and it won’t look tacky when paired with other colors. However, it’s not suitable for petite women.
Especially when it comes to pants, whether they’re long or short, black bottoms can significantly reduce your perceived height.
Therefore, petite women should opt for light-colored pants, such as beige, khaki, or gray.
As for tops, there are specific methods to follow. Either tuck the top into your pants to cinch your waist or wear a cropped top to shorten your upper body and elongate your lower body proportions.
2. Dark Green
Dark green is a mixture of black and green, with a predominant green hue. It belongs to the dark color spectrum of cool tones and can greatly diminish your height.
Although dark colors have a slimming effect, they also reduce your overall volume, making you appear shorter.
Only truly stylish individuals can pull off dark green, as it can look sophisticated when paired with gold or white. However, it’s not recommended for petite women.
3. Deep Purple
Deep purple is a shade of purple that leans towards a blue-black color. Purple is formed by combining red and blue. The overall feeling of this color is heavy and voluminous, which can have a shrinking effect.
It’s especially important not to wear deep purple on your upper body. If you want to incorporate it into your lower body, you can pair it with an apricot-colored top to balance the dark color with a light one, achieving a harmonious state.
However, it’s still advisable to wear deep purple sparingly, as it can be difficult to master and may make you look shorter.
4. Bright Yellow
Highly saturated colors like bright red, bright yellow, and vivid green can be eye-catching but also create a strong visual impact.
This visual impact can make your overall look appear too conspicuous and unbalanced, resulting in a smaller appearance.
Petite women are advised to choose clothing in low-saturation or soft colors, such as light pink, off-white, or pale blue. These colors create a gentle and warm atmosphere, making the overall look more harmonious.
In addition to color choices, petite women should also avoid overly elaborate patterns like large-scale prints or intricate embroidery, as these designs may make your figure appear even shorter. Opt for simple and clean styles instead.
