Styling tips for short girls (autumn edition)

December 13, 2017


Import the colors, the length of the garments, the footwear, the necklines and, even, the size of the accessories. 12 looks that stylize for women of short stature

'Oversized' yes, but with nuances

1 of 12 Being a woman of short stature does not mean giving up certain silhouettes, but adapting them so that they do not go against you. If you drink the winds for that oversized coat -like this trench that Natasha Goldenberg wears- try to adjust it to the waist and force that open neckline that Demna Gvasalia so fashionable in her first collection for Balenciaga to lengthen the torso.

Monochrome minimalism

2 of 12 If someone knows how to stylize his figure, that is Miroslava Duma. The fashion expert of Russian origin is known for her short stature and for making that detail does not matter at all. One of his best styling tricks is to bet everything to a single color and do it, in addition, with pieces of simple cuts. Goodbye, baroque; hello, minimal.

Teach the shoulders

3 of 12 We already anticipated it in the first image: if you are going to bet on a garment slightly wider than usual, do not forget to show some skin. The boat necklines and 'off-the-shoulder' that have become so fashionable in recent seasons -also to go to the office- are the best trick to visually stylize the silhouette of short women. And yes, this little trick works even with the dreaded horizontal stripes.

Color combinations that work

4 of 12 One method to refine the figure is to focus on how to lengthen the legs optically. And one of the most recurrent formulas is to choose a shoe with the same tone as the pants, whatever the length. If you bet on one of the "cropped flared" silhouette, practice this tactic with some booties -so the garment will not cut visually on the ankle-; If it is a pair of pants at ground level, do the same with some salons to make it infinite.

Up your waist!

5 out of 12 the high-waisted pants and jeans are the order of the day and the short women could not be more than congratulations. This is precisely one of the silhouettes that favor them most because it optically lengthens the legs and, in addition, usually works with all body types. If, in addition, you accompany him with an open blouse and a belt that falls on the pants forming a straight line as Irina Lakicevic does, success is assured.

The jackets, better short

6 of 12 Just as we use the high waist to make it look like the legs are born from above, short jackets can be the perfect resource for the same reasons: they make the torso seem shorter in favor of the lower part of your body. Avoid mid-calf designs and bet better on blazers and jackets that come from hip height up-advice: bullfighters are trend and may be your best friends.

And the salons, better of fine tip

7 of 12 Given that the rounded tip rooms can shorten your legs, it is time to get a pair finished in fine tip regardless of the trends - even better if the footwear in question has a tone very similar to your legs, as it happens to Natasha Goldenberg-. A very valuable advice that also applies to boots, boots, dancers and other types of shoes.

Choose everything in mini size

8 of 12 Look closely at this look by Lucy Williams and memorize this commandment: you will choose the maximum number of your clothes and accessories in mini size. Not only we talk about a miniskirt that visually lengthens the length of your legs, that too, but to take into account the size of our bag and bet on an XS design. Remember that the bigger it is, the smaller (and less stylized) you will look in comparison.

Goodbye, anklets, goodbye

9 of 12 Once fulfilled the maximum of resorting to rooms finished in fine tip-this well-known Balenciaga polka dots design would be the most dramatic version-, it is necessary to clarify certain details. Avoid, as far as possible, shoes with anklets - and, by the way, bracelets in that area in general. By splitting the legs at ankle height, they can visually shorten them and that is precisely what we do not want.

Choose silhouette skirts A

10 of 12 Mark the waistline is one of the most important styling keys for petite women who want to optically stylize their figure. Hence, the A-line silhouette skirts are one of the most recurrent garments to achieve it. A rule that works equally for long skirts like the one in the picture as for those retro silhouette miniskirts with delayer buttons (or not). Christian Dior (and his New Look) was not wrong.

V-neckline (of victory)

11 of 12 We return to Natasha Goldenberg to explain one of the classic tricks to polish the silhouette: the V-shaped necklines. The reason? His power to stretch the torso is infinite - as much as you want. If, in addition, it is a blouse with lacing, remember to let loose at least one of the strips of fabric to create a straight line that makes our task even easier.

The ideal shoe tone


12 of 12 In addition to combining the color of the shoes with that of the pants to lengthen the legs, there is another color secret related to footwear that always works: choose sandals or nude-colored rooms or, for all the cases, that have the same hue as the skin. In the absence of a cut visually speaking on the foot, we will extend its length in appearance.
