Hello dear readers! Clothing for short women - what should it be? I think many owners of miniature sizes think about this issue.

And the answer is quite prosaic - the wardrobe of a small woman should be simple. And what this means, we will consider further in more detail.

Permitted tricks

In order for a woman of small stature to look stylish and well-groomed, she just needs to emphasize all her advantages with the help of clothes.

In today's world, this is very possible, since there are many stores that produce clothes in small sizes.

How to choose a thing from all this quantity? – choose simple silhouettes. That is, regardless of age, whether you are 20 or 40 years old, make a choice towards flowing things that are not complicated in cut.

Let your priority be fitted and simply sewn things. Especially when it comes to dresses.

Skirts and dresses are best to choose silhouette or not too wide, as any volume introduces an imbalance of proportions.

After all, why is so much attention paid to small growth? Because here it is very easy to violate the visual proportions. Growth itself is not a problem at all, but you need to create your wardrobe very carefully.

So, trousers should also be narrow and straight, even better if they are a pale pastel shade.

Flared trousers, which became fashionable in 2016 and continue to be so in 2017, will become a good model for inches. But choose models that are not too wide, flared from the knees.

Shoes should be chosen to match tights, trousers, or if summer, then nude sandals to match the color of your skin on your feet.

As for boots, it is better to let them be knee-length models.

Girls of small stature look great with a scarf around their neck, which hangs freely, creating a vertical line.

Strive for the vertical in everything, if for some reason growth is so important to you. It can even be simple monochrome in the choice of color. Create sets of one tone.

Strips are great for our purpose. And if we are already talking about prints, then they must be small.

The miniature figurine loves small decorations. So if you are in doubt which belt to choose thin or thicker - choose the one that is thinner.

Don't be afraid to expose your cleavage, shoulders and neck even if you are over 50. Of course, you need borders, but you shouldn't hide this magnificent part of your body. Such a trick will also visually pull you out.

It is worth noting that there are exceptions for obese women of small stature. They can afford voluminous things if their body type is an apple, for example.

Clothing for short: prohibited items

Well, they can be conditionally called forbidden, since it all depends on your goals. If you feel good in your everyday clothes, but it abhors the rules, then wear it to your health.

But let me, nevertheless, give you a few recommendations on how not to steal from ourselves what nature has awarded us and present it in a winning light.

1. The first mistake that does not paint even very tall girls is a combination of mid-calf boots and a skirt below the knee.

And one by one, it is also desirable to exclude these wardrobe items - they greatly shorten the legs.

2. Creating a new set, do not use contrasting colors- they cut your figure. For example, a lilac blouse and white trousers - minus 2-5 cm visually, due to the horizontal line at the waist.

3. Do not choose wide skirts, trousers or baggy blouses, coats. Inflated materials will also visually make you look fuller and lower. Too wide shoulders in jackets will hide your beautiful neck.

4. When choosing the length of your blazer, choose models that are mid-waist or lower, avoiding elongated models.

5. You should also forget about large accessories. This applies to both bags and jewelry.

By the way, pay attention to the stylish Victoria Lux designer belt. It's versatile and goes with any outfit.

6. Massive shoes do not paint miniature legs. Gladiator sandals also belong to unsuccessful models of shoes for short women; they visually shorten the legs.

Fashionable formulas for girls with small stature

Skinny jeans+loafers+coats

Short girls should not refuse laconic skinny jeans. They not only emphasize slender legs, but also add a couple of extra centimeters to height (alas, only visually).

To pair with them, you can choose shoes with a platform or heels, but why bother when you can put on super comfortable loafers. As a finishing touch - an A-line coat.

V-neck blouse+flared jeans+platform shoes

High-waisted flared jeans create the optical illusion of endless legs. Plus with this - under the wide legs you can hide your secret weapon - shoes on a high platform.

An equally interesting function is performed by a blouse with a V-neck. It makes the neck visually thinner and longer, and also focuses on the face.

Baggy sweater+leather skirt+boots

Don't be afraid to show your legs a little - this is another trick that will help you get a little taller.

To maintain balance and not overdo it with exposure, choose the most concealing top. In this case, an oversize sweater. Well, the final note of the image will be boots with a small heel.

Boyfriend jeans + white t-shirt + extra long cardigan

Whatever jeans you choose, make sure that bare ankles open to your eyes. This rule always works if you are not “model growth“.

Another tip: don't forget to tuck your shirt into your pants - this will "stretch" the silhouette. You can achieve the same effect with an elongated cardigan.

Good day, my dear readers! If you are a petite girl, a small stature is great! But we, little ones, so often have to deal with discrimination from fashion, which is aimed primarily at the model appearance. Here, you come to the store and what you don’t wear looks like you took it from your older sister. What to do? Sew? But not every girl knows how to do this, and contacting an atelier can be expensive and long. Today I'm going to tell you how ruthless fashion for petite women can be, give an overview of the trends that are best avoided and which ones you can take note of. Plus, I will provide a list of well-known brands that specialize in the production of clothing for petite girls and women.

Choose and wear things correctly, adapting fashion trends to suit you.

• Shoes that are contrasting to the color of the legs, and also too massive will take a couple of centimeters from the length of your legs, do you need it? Try to always choose shoes in the color of your feet or at least a non-contrasting color, namely, in summer, give preference to nude shoes, gold or silver, leopard print, etc. In winter - in the color of tights or under trousers.

• Decided to wear bulky things? Be sure to add heels or a platform, otherwise you will lose proportions. Also, it is desirable to intercept bulky things with a belt at the waist in order to maintain harmony in the image and emphasize the figure. Avoid very wide belts.

• Dress-shirt. Due to the specific cut, you will look in it like in clothes inherited from your older sister. Girdle such an outfit with a belt and everything will be different. If your sleeves are too long, then tuck them up (to look taller and slimmer, ¾ sleeves are ideal)

• Huge bags. If you have a bag that you can hide behind, throw it away. Buy yourself a cute little handbag that matches your proportions. Ideally, make sure that the bag is no more than 20-25 cm wide and no higher than 30-35 cm, anything more for girls under 160 cm tall will look too huge.

• Keep the proportions of the upper and lower body. If you put on an elongated top, tuck it in or pick it up with a belt, but fashionable crop tops are a very useful purchase for petite ones. But it is better to wear with skirts and high-waisted trousers, otherwise the “stripe” of the skin will cut the image and make us look lower.

• Proper trousers. It's all about the material. If you are the owner of rounded shapes, then choose flowing materials. If you are thin and angular, then give preference to fabrics that hold their shape. If you want to add volume, choose trousers in light shades, textured or printed. The ideal length of trousers (flared, wide, straight) for petite 1-1.5 cm from the floor with the shoes you will wear with. For tight trousers or jeans, it is better to choose the length to the ankle.

• Horizontal strip. The rule works here, as in architecture - if there is a vertical (one!) Strip - then it stretches, a horizontal strip - cuts. By the way, this does not apply to the vest. Horizontal lines - lapels, trousers, slant zipper, a row of buttons, a dress slit, etc. And also the image in one color. Horizontal - contrasting colors, a wide horizontal print, a cutout on the shoulders, a wide belt, and the like.

• Midi skirts. This length "cuts off" the legs and makes you visually lower - a delusion. This skirt can and should be worn with heels. Ideal - either a skirt to the floor, a miniskirt, and a skirt just above the kneecap. If the midi skirt is in the middle of the lower leg, then it is better to stand on the heel.

• Mid-calf length dresses are quite dangerous. If you want to look taller, then show your legs and opt for dresses and skirts above the knee.

• If you want a jumpsuit with a print, then give preference to a small print. If you want to look taller and slimmer, then it is better to choose a long jumpsuit made of plain fabric.

• If you decide to wear or purchase sandals with an ankle clasp, then it is better to take those whose strap will match the color of your skin. It is better to choose the most open shoes, so you "add" length.

• Skirt to the floor - in this outfit you will look like a bell. In fact, this statement is just a myth. On the contrary, a long skirt will hide a high heel or platform. By the way, choose a maxi sitting at the waist, as a skirt with a low waist can break the proportions and make your legs look shorter. By the way, all the girls in the photo below are below 160 cm.

• Forget about baggy jeans with "sunkies", as you will only draw attention to your petite size and make your legs extremely short. Better get boyfriend-fit jeans. When choosing boyfriend jeans, make sure they fit you perfectly. And if you can't find "boyfriends" from the petite line for petite girls, then try on "skins" 32 lengths, starting from size 26 or 27. They may well sit on short young ladies as "boyfriends" who have fallen in love with everyone. It is better to wear these jeans with shoes with heels in the color of the skin. Pointy loafers or boots, such as silver or gold, are also suitable. If you really want to wear sports shoes, then take those where the sole is thicker. For example, Nike Air Max.

I want to note that some of these tips are also suitable for full ones, because if you look taller, then your volumes visually look smaller, and you are slimmer.

2016 trends for petite

The new season is rich in interesting trends. I already wrote about that, but unfortunately, not all of them are suitable for short girls. Let's see which of them can be safely adopted, and which are best avoided.

1. White shirt. A universal trend that has not left the catwalks for several years. For petite girls, it is better to tuck it into trousers or a skirt.
2. Stripes. Be careful with psychedelic prints like tie dye. Wide horizontal stripes can make you look smaller and add volume.
3. Sculptural folds and pleating. Just like stripes, they visually stretch the figure, and therefore you can safely wear a pleated skirt or dress.
4. Wrap skirt. A great thing, allows you to emphasize the beauty of the legs, adds roundness, hides the tummy. For fragile low girls, it is better to choose a skirt with a wrap-around tulip cut, a full-length A-line skirt is suitable. And, of course, do not forget about the correct length!
5. Shine. Now you can wear things in metallic shades, embroidered with sequins or made of fabrics with lurex, on weekdays, for example, to work. If you are small and thin, feel free to get a shiny dress, if you have chic volumes, limit yourself to a small sparkling wardrobe item, for example, a handbag or shoes. Glitter is best added where you want to create additional volume.
6. Dress-combination. A forgotten trend, returns to the catwalks and streets. Almost any petite girl can afford a silk dress, it will especially look good with melange sweaters or khaki jackets. When choosing, make sure that such a dress fits you well.
7. Bare shoulders. An old trend in a new interpretation - now the neckline is closed, the emphasis is exclusively on the shoulders.
8. Hourglass silhouette. This year, designers literally require the girl to have an appropriate figure. And since even the models are not perfect, they gird the girls with a belt. A great trend for all women. Petite girls are better off choosing thin, narrow belts.
9. Paperbag - you need to be very careful with this trend! If you are a petite girl with a perfect figure and your legs are long enough in relation to your body, then very carefully you can "play out" with this trend. But... if you're unsure, it's best not to risk it.

I told you about what you can and cannot do. And now the question arises: where to buy things that fit perfectly and will be the size of short young ladies? I present to you an overview of brands that have online stores with delivery to Russia. So, ordering the item you like is not difficult.

Petite girls are great (no offense to tall ones). Remember the magnificent Kylie Minogue (155 cm), Salma Hayek (157 cm), Shakira (150 cm), the Olsen sisters (155 cm), Madonna (158 cm) and many other star babies.

However, from time to time, all short girls want to be a little taller, at least visually. What clothes should I choose to add a couple of centimeters to my height (heels do not count)?

1. Fitted clothes - yes. Baggy clothes - no

The short girl's style is slim elegance, so oversized clothes are best left hanging in the store. Bulky clothes make your silhouette heavier and further reduce your height.

2. Dark colors - yes. Black color - no

4. High waist - yes. Low waist - no

A high waistline elongates the legs and elongates the silhouette. Therefore, we say “yes” to a high waist and “no” to a low one, since the latter, on the contrary, makes the legs shorter.

5. Sheath dress - yes. Hoodie dress - no

For little girls, a sheath dress is perfect. It sits perfectly on a slender figure (of course) and visually increases growth. Did you see a beautiful hoodie dress? We pass by.

In the designer clothing boutique you will find many models of dresses.

6. Skirts above the knee - yes. Midi skirts - no

The best option for women of short stature is skirts and dresses just above the knee. Midi skirts, on the other hand, should be treated with caution: wear them only with high heels. Otherwise, there is a risk of becoming like a gnome princess.

7. Classic straight trousers - yes. Cropped trousers - no

The same can be said about jeans. Choose simple, slightly narrowed down models. Boyfriend jeans and any other baggy jeans will not work for you.

Check out the designer clothing boutique.

8. Short tops - yes. Tunics - no

Tunics do not suit girls of small stature. It is better to wear a short blouse or a lovely crop top.

9. Short jackets or vests - yes. Long jackets or vests - no

Petite ladies are advised to choose the same miniature jackets: they should not end below the waist. At the same time, little girls should not wear fashionable long vests - they will drag you down.

10. Coat to the knee - yes. Long coats - no

In late autumn and early spring, little girls should opt for elegant knee-length coats and avoid long models. By the way, .

11. Thin strap - yes. Wide belt - no

On the one hand, stylists advise petite girls to emphasize the waist with a thin belt: this technique visually increases growth. On the other hand, it is not advisable to wear wide belts, as they have the opposite effect.

12. Vertical stripes - yes. Horizontal stripes - no

Your choice is a variety of prints with vertical stripes in any width and color. Such clothes not only lengthen the figure, but also slim. On the contrary, it is better to forget about horizontal prints. They reduce height and visually expand the figure.

13. Graceful boats - yes. Ankle strap shoes - no

The most suitable shoes for you are neat skin-colored pumps. These shoes not only lengthen the legs, but also fit any outfit. It is better not to wear massive shoes with huge heels: they look pretty ridiculous on little girls. In addition, you should not buy: they "cut" the leg and make it shorter.

14. Ankle boots - yes. Knee high boots - no

Ankle boots suit little girls much more than high boots (we don't mean over the knee boots, but boots that reach the knee).

15. Small bags - yes. Massive bags - no

Maybe you are already used to huge bags in which you can put a million unnecessary things. However, petite girls are advised to wear the same miniature bags, otherwise it will seem that you yourself can climb into your bag.

I agree only with cropped trousers and hoodies, everyone else does not. Or it is necessary to take into account the type of figure. a petite thin woman in a heavy maxi skirt, a voluminous sweater will look even more elegant, and a petite puff will really be a gnome.

So you say that petite girls are beautiful, and then brand them as gnome princesses? As if being short is bad, and all your recommendations are just to look taller. It's somehow not very good. Yes, and the recommendations are doubtful, especially about the length of the midi, cropped trousers, culottes, long coats, horizontal stripes. All this can and should be worn, it just also needs to be done correctly. And yes, such an approach in style is possible / impossible, this is generally the edge. Dictatorship of fashion

Have mercy, ladies! All advice here or anywhere is not dogma, it is only the opinion of others. You can find out the weaknesses yourself. The first thing to do is take a picture of your bow, and in different variations. You will see for yourself what does not look. I came to many points from the article myself and I agree unambiguously, but just knee-high boots suit me (only not as extended in the photo, but just on the leg), there are absolutely no boots up to the middle of the calf. Apply the Principle: Observe, Compare, Reflect

High boots to the knee, in the style of riding boots, especially with a wide and straight top, increase growth and make a person much slimmer. Of course, if worn as in the photo, with unfortunate shorts, a jumper and bare legs, then the height will seem smaller.

I would like to add why girls can and should wear these disgusting tops? For example, I prefer normal sweaters and T-shirts that completely cover the stomach.

Thank you, thank you! But I'd rather walk in the city or on vacation with a beautiful horizontal shopper bag than with a bunch of ugly plastic bags. I have worn and will continue to wear cropped denim skinny and breeches, the main thing is that I always look stylish in them, so my husband says!

Ksenia Belousova, I am small, 157 cm. Knee-length boots suit me very well, but ankle boots absolutely do not. Go coats below the knee. And midi pencil skirts.

I forgot to add that boyfriend jeans are very suitable, but narrow ones, on the contrary, are not very good. A lot depends not on height, but on the type of figure.

Clearing out the wardrobe

Let's see what's in our closet. Here are some tips on what things you definitely need to remove from your wardrobe:

Tunic. We'll have to part with these practical things. It turns out that they were not invented for short women.

With round noses. Nothing elongates the leg like stiletto heels. Round toe shoes make your short legs even shorter.

Dress shirt. We hasten to disappoint: this incredibly comfortable little thing is absolutely not suitable for any woman with short stature. We'll have to remove it from our stocks, and never buy anything like it again.

Silk wide trousers. Pants of a flying silhouette lengthen the legs only for tall girls. For short people, we advise you to abandon the summer wide trousers with a print. If you can’t live without wide pants, then choose plain models from structured fabrics.

midi skirts. Unfortunately, these feminine models need to be removed from the field of their attention. This length is not suitable for short women, it spoils the figure of short women.

Maxi skirts, like floor-length skirts, are not needed.

Bell skirts are also not made for short people.

Bermuda. Not even on vacation. A very bad decision. The same can be said about the Capri pants.

Boots to the middle of the calf. Boots in general will have to be selected very carefully, and if in doubt, then opt for elegant ankle boots.

Dresses and skirts with an uneven hemline. Such models are not for petite women.

Jumpsuit with print. Overalls are a good thing for short people, but only if they are plain.

Ankle strap shoes. Such shoes visually separate the leg, making it visually shorter. But, shoes with a deep cut are a good solution, they lengthen the leg.

Banana pants and banana jeans, they are also called Baggy Jeans. These are jeans or trousers with wide legs, slightly shortened, narrowed down or tucked up. Such models visually shorten the legs and height in general.

All items are loose fitting. Check if the shoulder seams match your shoulders, the neckline matches your neck, the cuffs “sit” strictly on the wrist, and so on. All things that are large by several sizes should go to second-hand.

We make a wardrobe
Here are 10 must-haves for short ladies that should stay in your wardrobe:

1. Jeans with flared legs. When buying jeans, pay attention to flared models. Pants should fit to the knee, length - to the floor. With an accentuated waistline, not a low rise!

2. Shoes with heels, with a deep cut. Low-cut shoes elongate the leg when worn with a skirt, dress or shorts.

3. Nude shoes. And the closer their color to your skin tone, the better.

4. Mini skirt. And even super-mini (for the very young). Legs will appear longer. It is better to combine mini with heels.

5,6,7. Things for total color from head to toe. Total black is the most elegant and simple solution. But other shades are good, better - medium in tone and closer to dark: blue, burgundy, gray ... An ensemble made up of things of similar colors lengthen the figure and make the silhouette more concise. Gather, for example, such ensembles: blouse + skirt + tights, or jacket + dress + tights, or sweater + trousers + shoes.

8. Clutch, small shoulder bag or tote bag medium sizes - choose one of these bag models, or better yet, buy all three.

9. Thin strap. If tall girls can accentuate the waist with even very wide belts, then only thin models of belts and belts can be advised for short girls. The fact is that the belt, as it were, “cuts” the figure in half, visually reducing it vertically. And a thin strap will not change the figure so drastically.

10. V-neck sweater. Smooth color and even texture are nice bonuses of a good cashmere sweater.

General style tips for petite women

Layering is not your forte. It looks very bulky, like it's pulling you towards the ground.

Large accessories are prohibited. Large ones visually reduce your already short stature. Instead, choose small handbags, they will look more proportionate to your measurements.

Vertical stripe. It is worth turning to a vertical strip, and in an instant you will visually add 2-4 centimeters to your height! But, horizontal stripes, on the contrary, will reduce you as much.

The optimal length of the skirt for short ones is knee-deep, not lower!

Single color. For short ones, monochromatic options are always better than with prints. A combination of different prints is also not recommended. It is better to limit yourself to one print per ensemble.

High hairstyles are great for visually stretching the figure. It can be tall, or a bob with volume at the back of the head. But flowing curls or long flowing hair reduce growth. As far as haircuts go, the long bob is the most versatile choice, while the more daring can try ultra-short bob haircuts. And smooth hair is better than very curly hair, so it makes sense to buy a flat iron.

The high waist seems to be made for you if you can't boast of being tall. Whether it's trousers, breeches or skirts, choose high-waisted models. A low landing, on the contrary, is prohibited.

A skirt is a versatile, feminine, attractive and very comfortable piece of clothing that is appropriate for any style and situation. There are a lot of styles and models. Mini, midi, bell, pencil - all these are skirts. These clothes are perfect for sweaters, blouses, shirts, tops. To look stylish in it, it is important to choose the right style, fabric type, colors, matching top and fashion accessories.

Skirts for short women

Petite girls most often want to visually add a few centimeters of height and look more feminine. The best and easiest way to achieve the desired result is to choose the right skirt.

Girls with small stature can wear almost all models, only certain nuances must be taken into account.

Before choosing a suitable skirt for a short woman, you need to know what styles of such clothes exist.

Pencil skirt (case)

This model fits the figure and is narrowed down. This style can be safely called a modern classic. This is the perfect skirt style for short women.

Sew such products from different materials:

• Suit fabric. It is better to choose a material containing elastane. Such skirts fit better on the figure, keep their shape and do not wrinkle.
• Knitwear. Perfectly emphasizes both the positive and negative sides of the figure, so these skirts should be chosen carefully.
• Velours. When choosing a skirt, you need to consider the density and texture of the fabric.
• Guipure, lace, mesh on top of the case. These skirts look elegant and feminine.
• Leather. It allows you to create a very stylish appearance.
• Denim. These skirts are perfect for everyday wear.

There are three main lengths of skirts: mini, midi and maxi. The most suitable skirt length for short women is mini and midi.

Often skirts are made with a slit. He can be:

• Front.
• In the side seam (or 2 slits on the sides).
• On the front middle seam.
• On the back middle seam.
• On the thigh.

There may be pockets on the skirt (patch, side, snags).

High-waisted models are in fashion today.

A-line skirts

This skirt is widened at the bottom. This group includes many subspecies. Skirts of this style look great on all types of figures, you just need to choose the right length, fabric and colors.

A-line skirt

The most fashionable models: high waist, mini length.

Long skirts also look quite stylish and fresh. Patch pockets, button closures, eyelets, drawstrings are details that are popular among fashionistas.

Half-sun skirt

Slightly wider below than a trapezoid. Skirts made of flowing materials look very nice: silk, crepe-chiffon, soft, etc. Among fashionistas, lace products made of several layers of material are also popular.

flared sun

They are made in the form of a circle. Chiffon and silk floor-length models look beautiful. Basic colors: cream, light gray and beige. These skirts are feminine, attractive and perfect for both romantic and casual looks.

Bell skirt

They are distinguished by the presence of wide relief folds that create the shape of a bell. For such a skirt, heavy, shape-holding fabrics are well suited. The skirt can be plain with a contrasting belt or with a pattern. Flowers, stripes, tropical leaves are relevant today.

The length of the bell skirt can be from maxi to mini. Perfectly suitable for girls with a poorly defined waistline are such models: “rectangle”, “apple”, “column”. The style helps to visually highlight the difference between the waist and hips. In addition, it makes it possible to hide unnecessary centimeters on the hips of girls with hourglass and pear figures.

tutu skirt

This model has been popular for several seasons in a row. Single-tiered and multi-tiered, muted and bright, guipure and tulle. The option can be selected for every taste and color. This is just the perfect summer skirt for short women.

Tulip skirt

A distinctive feature of such skirts is soft pleats at the waist, which makes them look like a tulip. Such models were popular a couple of years ago. Now they are more worn to work in the office. Ideal for girls with protruding hips: hourglass and pear figure.

On a coquette

Quite a popular model. Coquette can be:

• Not very wide, more like a belt.
• Curly or asymmetrical.

The base of the skirt is:

• With an elongated back (tail).
• With several frills.
• With warehouses (in the form of a bell).

godet

With smell

No less interesting and popular style, perfectly emphasizing the attractiveness and sexuality. For tailoring use costume fabrics, viscose, knitwear, cotton.

Choosing a skirt according to the type of figure

When choosing a skirt for short women, it is very important to know the type of figure. This will help you choose the right style, length and details of this clothing, visually improving the proportions of the silhouette. If you know your body type and choose the right clothes for it, you can visually appear taller than you really are.

The wrong choice of skirt can play against the girl. This is especially true for ladies with pear and apple figures. A poorly chosen skirt for a short woman can visually make her hips even wider. If a lady has a “pear” body type (wide hips, narrow shoulders), she will appear even lower, because she will acquire unnecessary volumes in the abdomen. Girls with an “apple” figure will visually become even lower and rounder.

The best models of skirts for short women are pleated skirts that have come into fashion again. Due to the large number of small vertical folds, such products are able to visually stretch the figure. Sheath skirts will also look good on short girls. Due to the high waist, they visually add height. A special effect can be achieved if you combine them with V-neck blouses. A vertical section can visually stretch the figure.

Short girls with a pear-shaped figure can take a closer look at A-line skirts and pencil skirts. It is better to choose perfectly straight models, without folds.

If a girl has an inverted triangle body type, a tulip skirt is well suited for her. A good option is a light-colored pencil skirt. If you wish, you can experiment and choose options with a large print and patches on the hips. Such models are visually able to slightly lengthen the legs.

What should be the length

The skirt ending at the calves visually pulls the silhouette down and shortens it. In addition, the legs are also visually shortened. At the same time, the calves, on which the attention is most focused, look overly massive.

The most ideal skirt length for short women is above the knee. If a girl is embarrassed to wear such clothes, you can add leggings or tights to the ensemble.

But this does not mean at all that longer models are banned. You just need to combine them correctly with other clothes and choose the most suitable style that will most favorably emphasize not too high growth.

For example, a long skirt that is tight around the hips will look much better than a straight and shapeless maxi skirt. In this case, it is also better to wear shoes with heels, in which you can wear floor-length clothes.

If a short girl is very slim, she can choose puffy short skirts that keep their shape. Such clothes will not lengthen the legs, but will perfectly emphasize the graceful thin waist.

Straight mini-skirts and short skirts will also look good. They emphasize the miniature and elegance of the legs. In addition, a product with smell.

It is advisable to wear long models with wedges or high heels. However, such skirts for short overweight women should be chosen carefully. Midi skirts are suitable for heels, especially mid-calf length.

What clothes should not be chosen

Bell skirts, products with an asymmetrical and uneven hem, as well as multi-layered styles, it is advisable for inch girls to bypass. In addition, you should not choose things that have horizontal lines and very large prints.

Colors and details

It should be remembered that voluminous things overload the silhouette, choosing skirts for short women. Photos of many models are offered in the article. Looking at them, you can understand what will be preferable for you. Short girls should prefer simpler models or choose details and motifs that visually increase their height.

Choose skirts with the following elements:

• Vertical drawing.

Choosing a skirt

Since the skirt is a basic item, its choice should be taken very responsibly.

• Slender short girls with the correct proportions of the body.

For such short women, midi skirts are not the best option. They split the figure, making it shorter.

• Fat women.

A strict, straight cut and a dense suiting fabric or gabardine are suitable for them. Such skirts will not emphasize problem areas, but delicately outline attractive roundness. The image will be very feminine.

It is better to refuse wide styles, as they will make the silhouette wider.

• Skinny.

Such girls can choose short skirts, flared down, knee-length. Among the additional decorative elements may be ruffles, folds, flounces, which will add volume to the hips and make the figure more feminine.

Straight skirts, having an average length, are not quite suitable for thin, short girls.

Today, it is not difficult to choose the perfect skirt for women under 160 cm tall. In stores today there is a huge selection of such things. You just need a desire and a little time, then from the huge number of models the most suitable style will be found.
