Petite women should wear clothes that make them look longer.
- Straight-legged slacks are a classic that will stretch your figure.
- Try shoes with a tapered toe to elongate the silhouette of your leg. Heels are an obvious solution.
- Avoid pants, skirts, boots or dresses that hit you between the knee and the ankle. These will cut your figure in half.
- Wear your sweaters and tops so that they sit above your hips, not covering the crotch of your pants. This will keep them from disrupting the line of your leg.
- Avoid wearing belts on your waist or under your bust if you can. This disrupts your body's line and can make you look shorter.
- Have your clothes tailored to fit you. It is inexpensive and will always make you look more proportional and slimmer, no matter your size.
- Buy clothes in petite sizes. They are tailored to fit women that are shorter and can be found in virtually any size. The difference is amazing.
- Find pants in "short" or "ankle". These are the petites of the pant world.
I hope these few tips have helped you! I am 5'0" myself and my closet is tailored to making me look long and lean. My shoe collection bursting with 4" heels don't hurt either. =]
