Clothing for short women
Selection rules
Clothing for short women should emphasize the charm of small stature. In order not to visually appear even lower, it must be remembered that all quantities are perceived by the eyes in relative terms. That is, any woman can seem taller with the right choice of wardrobe.
Emphasis on the top
Petite women should not overload the lower part. As a top, a dark muted blueberry or navy blue blouse, a juicy top and a bright jacket are perfect.
As for the hairstyle, it should not be too voluminous, as in this case the head will seem too big. It is best to choose a neat short haircut or medium length hair.
Determine the type of figure
The opinions of most stylists agree that proportions are very important for growth below average. A huge role in this is played by the waist line and its volume.. A short chest leads to a low line of the chest, which visually expands the waist. In the event that short stature is combined with a large waist, you should abandon fitted jackets, dresses and blouses and wear straight-cut clothes.Emphasizing the waist is advised only for short girls with a thin waist that stands out against the background of the chest and hips.
There are several basic types of figures. Conventionally, they are called pear, apple, hourglass and rectangle.
Beautiful ladies with a pear-shaped figure have wide hips and a thin waist. Women with an apple-shaped figure have a wide upper part and a tummy. The hourglass figure suggests the presence of a thin waist and identical breasts and hips. Women with a rectangle body type can be both full and thin, but at the same time they have hips and shoulders of equal width, a poorly defined waist and small breasts.
Changing proportions
pear figure
To balance this type of figure, you need to add volume to the upper part and bring it closer to the hourglass type. A shiny top or a blouse with a large print will look great. Also in this case, a pencil skirt and A-line dresses are great. To change the proportions, you can use cuts on the skirt.
Apple
It is possible to change the proportions with a sufficiently voluminous top with the help of a V-shaped neckline, which beautifully beats a large bust and emphasizes it favorably. To draw attention to thin legs, thereby distracting it from the stomach, a free-cut knee-length dress will help. Corrective underwear will also be useful.
Hourglass
As a rule, all styles are suitable for owners of this type of figure and there is no need to adjust the proportions here. Dresses that emphasize the waist, as well as deep V-shaped necklines, look gorgeous.
Rectangle
The main task in this case is to visually stretch the figure and reduce the waist.For this, outfits in which designers have used a special cut, trim or color contrast that allow a woman to visually look taller are ideal. If the rectangle also has a tummy, then you need to choose clothes suitable for the apple shape. For thin girls with this type of figure, you can safely advise dresses with a flared skirt, tulip skirt or A-line.
Deciding on the fabric
The choice of fabric women of short stature should be treated correctly and very carefully. Unsuccessful texture and color can add excessive volume, making the figure wider. Quilted jackets, chunky knits and bouclés should also be avoided. It is better to pay attention to products made of fine knitwear and fine fabrics. As for the colors, the advantage is given to vertically elongated prints, preferably small.
Silhouette
When choosing a silhouette, you should always consider the type of figure. A-silhouette is perfect for girls and women with a pear-shaped figure, and a loose fit is more suitable for an apple-shaped figure. Absolutely any silhouette suits the hourglass figure. Hourglass is one of the favorite trends of stylists and designers this season. To do this, in their models they use all kinds of belts, bringing the figure closer to this type.
Parts and accessories
The fair sex of short stature needs to remember some details that will help them make a more correct wardrobe. For example, raglan sleeves, frills are not suitable for petite girls and women. When choosing trousers, pay attention to models of a classic cut or skinny ones and properly complete them with shoes. At the same time, the length of the trousers should be such that it covers the heel exactly half.
As for accessories, here short ladies will really need a sense of proportion. Jewelry is desirable to choose a small and oblong shape. Bags should also match the diminutiveness of short women. The ideal choice would be a miniature and elegant handbag, but large bags that you can hide behind will have to be abandoned.
office wear
Choosing an office wardrobe for a short lady is a very creative and pleasant task. An excellent option in this case can be a semi-fitted silhouette knee-length dress in a classic style. If a skirt or trousers are chosen for the office, then it is better to complement them with a shortened jacket, which draws attention to itself and visually lengthens the silhouette. Medium-heeled stiletto pumps are perfect for office outfits.
Girls and women of small stature should pay attention to office outfits made of emphatically expensive fabrics that have a simple, laconic cut. In this case, the classic color scheme should be observed. In costumes, the contrast of elements is allowed, but within the limits of the classics.
Casual style
Everyday wardrobe can perfectly emphasize the charm of women of short stature. It is necessary to carefully consider the choice of both the upper and lower parts. As a top, you can choose a fashionable blouse with a shawl collar, a shirt with a stand-up collar or a V-neck. The length of a blouse or shirt can be with a slight launch beyond the waist line. All sorts of thin straps and belts will look spectacular in this case.
To add romance to your daily look, choose dresses that are slightly above the knees.If you are a fan of maxi dresses, pay attention to the fact that the cut, the texture of the material and the colors visually lengthen the lower part.
Stylish jeans are a great everyday option. If you are a petite fan of practical denim style, then choose models with pronounced side seams on the sides.
Short slender girls can safely use short shorts in their wardrobe. The only condition that must be observed in order for this item of clothing not to work for underestimating height is a tight-fitting cut, and, of course, a perfect fit.
Jackets, like any clothing for women of small stature, should not have any decorative elements. Their cut should be concise and not contain unnecessary details. Shortened models that do not reduce growth are welcome.
Evening out
The right model of evening dress will make a short woman the queen of a gala event. A luxurious option for a special evening will be a floor-length dress. The main condition of stylists is that such a dress should be tight-fitting. Empire style dresses also look great.
In order to make an evening outfit more spectacular, focus on the waistline. Dresses with a deep V-neck, as well as models tailored along the oblique, also look very nice.
As shoes for short girls, classic pumps with a narrow nose on high stilettos are ideal. A small female leg in them acquires even greater elegance and beauty.
Fashion trends 2022 for petite women
- Simple color scheme. Bright contrasting clothing visually divides the silhouette into zones, thereby making it shorter. The choice of calm pastel colors will be an excellent solution for girls and women of short stature.
- Geometric pattern. The real trend of the season is elongated geometric shapes. Any vertical lines or herringbone stripe lengthen the height and make the figure slimmer.
- Open hip line. When purchasing a blazer or jacket, pay attention to its length. Open hips will visually lengthen the legs and the figure as a whole. A closed hip line will make your legs look shorter.
- Shoes without straps. When choosing shoes, give preference to models without straps. The leather-contrasting strap “cuts” visually the leg, thereby shortening it. If you can’t do without a strap, then let it be close in color to skin tones.
- High heel. Wearing high heels is the easiest way to increase your height. Try to choose a comfortable shoe so that the walk is easy and relaxed. A high thin heel looks very impressive in combination with long trousers that cover it halfway.
