Sometimes it seems that the entire fashion industry is designing clothes only for tall girls. After all, they are modeled by women with an average height of 170 cm and above. Fortunately, there are ways to choose clothes that make you taller and that you never feel uncomfortable in. Knowing what to emphasize and what to hide can boost your self-esteem and stop worrying about looking too small.
1. Black skinny jeans
Black skinny jeans are a must-have for all women, but they are especially good for short women. Both black and the elasticity of jeans work together to lengthen your legs. Paired with your heels, your legs will look incredibly long.
2. Skater dress
Short girls should fill their wardrobes with wardrobe items that highlight their virtues, and one of them that attracts attention is your naturally thin waist. Skater dresses perfectly accentuate the waist, and the wide hemline makes you noticeably thinner. Opt for a short, colorful dress for the best result.
3. Short flared skirt
Cascading maxi skirts have the ability to drown a short girl, making them look very tight and chunky. Instead, every short girl should look for the exact opposite style: a flared short skirt that flares from top to bottom. Starting at your small waist and dropping wide over your knees, this type of skirt will make your legs appear even longer. The more your skirt will resemble a tulip, the more your legs will look like long stems underneath.
4. Top with spaghetti-thin stripes
Petite girls may hate short legs, but they should be happy with their slender arms, feminine neckline, and pronounced collarbones. To emphasize all this, all girls of short stature should have a top with thin stripes like spaghetti. It shouldn't be as tight as a blouse, but it shouldn't resemble pajamas either. The thinner your stripes, the more attention you will draw to your graceful upper body.
5. Fitted turtleneck
The easiest way to add length to your body is to shift your focus to the line of your neck. When wearing a fitted turtleneck, your neck starts to appear a little longer than it really is. Stay away from brown turtlenecks, however, which can look a little old-fashioned. A black fitted turtleneck is best.
6. Elegant short dress
One advantage of being small is being able to wear shorter clothes that don't look too revealing. Since you can wear a shorter hem, you can always wear an elegant and professional-looking dress that reaches mid-thigh. Although it is a few centimeters shorter than what you usually wear to the office, you will find that it makes you much taller and does not look indecent.
7. Pencil skirt
A pencil skirt is a must for all short women. They have the ability to make you look tighter and taller, and at the same time accentuate your small waist. Pencil skirts should be a part of short women's business attire - they are perfect for looking formal without looking too conservative.
8. Cropped blouse
When you think of a top, you worry that you might immediately turn into a naughty teenager. However, cropped blouses are also suitable for short adult women. Instead of wearing them to accentuate your belly (which will only be shortened by your torso), it would be great to pair them with a high-waisted hem. It doesn't matter if your style is your cropped blouse with a high-waisted skirt, shorts or trousers, you will look like an incredible girl.
9. Shirt with vertical stripes
When it comes time to change your look, using a pattern as an optical illusion is one of the oldest techniques presented in the book. If you want to look wider, wear thin, horizontal stripes. If you want to look taller, vertical stripes are best. This pattern (especially on a buttoned shirt) is a wardrobe staple for all short women who want to look a little taller.
10. High-waisted shorts
One of the easiest ways to add inches to your body is to create the illusion that you have longer legs than you actually do. Rather than opting for low-waisted jeans and shorts (which will only make you look squat), short girls can make themselves look much taller by wearing high-waisted shorts. Your hips will appear taller than they are, and your legs will miraculously become elongated.
11. Short flared jacket
Short women often find it difficult to dress for the workplace, where being tall is a powerful asset. To make yourself appear larger than you are, it is helpful to have a short, flared jacket. Not only is it stylish, but it also gives you a structured upper body for strength. Once you find one that you like, you will never go back to a graceful cardigan again.
