Let anyone say what they want, but you can be stylish and elegant even without model parameters and tall height. Among the celebrities there are many miniature beauties: Lady Gaga, Natalie Portman, Madonna – and they look amazing. Including thanks to the ability to choose the right things, shoes and hairstyle, emphasizing their dignity.
Marina Herman, a personal stylist for choosing a “wardrobe for life”, an expert in fashion trends and fashion history, talked about how the owner of short stature can adapt modern fashion trends for herself.

If you want to visually stretch the silhouette, straight or flared “to the floor” cut pants will help. The main feature is that they are free – for example, mom fit will not suit us. The length is also very important: shortened models in this case will not look good. So, seven-eighths pants and jeans will hide the growth and you need to achieve the opposite effect. You can choose palazzos – they are perfect for adding a few extra inches of growth.
Complete your outfit with high heels. This is another fashion secret for petite women: stilettos or platform heels add visual height. When choosing pants, remember that their edge should end about 1 cm from the floor, taking into account the shoes you plan to wear them with.

High waist
High-waisted things are a must in your case. Combine this rule with the previous one: pants with a high waist to the floor in combination with high-heeled shoes will make your figure incredibly spectacular. This will make you look much slimmer and taller – take advantage of it!
An important rule: when choosing pants or jeans with a high waist, do not forget to fill them with a “shoulder” product – a shirt, blouse, and so on. If you wear a loose top, the trick will not work and the effect will be the opposite, as the figure will visually become squat.
Modern fashion allows you to choose options that differ in style and turn small character flaws into virtues. So things with a high waist are universal and will look appropriate in any situation: at work in the office, during a romantic walk, at an official event. Choose a skirt, trousers or jeans according to your taste and company dress code.
Pick up miniature handbags under your look. When short women have big, catchy models in their hands, they seem even shorter against their background. A handbag of a small size will visually adjust the growth, because in this case the game of contrast works.
Prefer laconic accessories. And be sure to pay attention to the length of the strap: the lower the bag, the more it “steals” such valuable centimeters from the height.
monochromatic color scheme
Avoid color contrasts in clothing. Individual details can be light, but if you use a dark bottom and a light top, or vice versa, it optically “cuts” the silhouette. As a result, growth seems lower, which is completely unnecessary.
A monochrome image is considered universal for short women. Suits, a denim total-look or a plain dress with a well-placed waistline will slim your figure. By the way, monochrome doesn’t have to be neutral at all – rich shades can be used too!
Cropped top
This is the trend of the season, so you will look very fashionable in such things. What can be used for miniature growth? Cropped bomber jacket, cropped jacket, cropped shirt – they look great and optically stretch the silhouette. A correctly chosen model will emphasize the fragility of the figure and slim it down, but at the same time it will not look like something you have outgrown a long time ago.
A good choice for short fashion would be a cropped top combined with a bottom of the same shade. And of course the high heels we mentioned above.
Updo
The right hairstyle completes the look. Do you want to visually add a few extra centimeters? Then prefer a ponytail or make a stylish bun on the crown. They open the neck and emphasize it, add fragility and elegance. By the way, many stars love such hairstyles and wear them with pleasure both in everyday life and on stage.
The main thing, dear, to remember: a low figure is far from a sentence, but a reason for non-banal style decisions. Learn to follow fashion trends and choose the right wardrobe according to your parameters – and you will always be on top!
