OUTFIT SECRETS FOR PETITE WOMEN

The so-called beauty standards have compelled us to met certain criteria to be perfect. We all are running to achieve a specific look which is considered to be ideal. Instead of accepting our own beauty we all try to get recognition by trying to look like someone else. But later did we know that we all are beautiful no matter what body shape we have got, what face structure we have.

The definition of ideal body type needs to be changed. We all look different with different personalities. Having the ideal body should never be the ultimate goal of our life.

Being petite does not mean we are unable to follow the fashion trends. Trends are made for everyone. But sometimes finding the trends and pieces that work for our height can be tricky. Dressing for us petite girls comes down to a simple set of fashion tips. That is why I have come up with some secret tips for petite women to embrace their beautiful figure.

If you are petite like me and want to portrait the best of yourselves, then keep on reading my outfit secrets for petite women.

1.WEAR EVERYTHING HIGH-WAISTED

High rise / high-waisted bottoms are the most recommended bottoms for short women.

High waisted style, in general, is very flattering to petite women. They make an illusion of longer legs and a shorter torso. It perfectly highlights the tiniest part of the torso giving the body some definition.

Low rise jeans gained a lot of popularity in the early days, especially among the teen population. But let's be real, those low rise jeans were a real pain and uncomfortable too. You need to be conscious always with low rise jeans. On the other hand, high rise bottoms are so much more comfortable. It gives the illusion of an hour-glass figure.

Below there are some options of high rise bottoms:

2.GET YOUR OWN TAILOR

Most of the clothing items come in a standard size and length. Mostly they do not favor the petite section of the population. In fact, there are very fewer brands that come up with separate petite clothing.

Instead of feeling that you are missing out, just tailor it. Everybody has got a different body shape and a well-tailored outfit looks the best. You must be surprised to hear that all the celebrities follow this rule of thumb. So go to your trusted tailor who knows your proportions correctly. You can even tell your mom to do the same for you.

3.GO FULL BLACK

A full black outfit can never go out of fashion. It looks super sassy and classy at the same time.

If you don't get the time to put together an outfit, just go for black. A monochromatic outfit makes you look taller and slimmer. Avoid wearing a lot of patterns, which will only make you look wider.

Black is a universally flattering color, it suits everyone perfectly.
