• 30 Jan 2016

Good day, my dear readers! If you are a petite girl, short in stature, this is great! But we little ones so often have to face discrimination from fashion, which is aimed primarily at model appearance. So, you come to the store and whatever you don’t wear, it looks as if you took it away from older sister. What to do? Sew? But not every girl knows how to do this, and going to a studio can be expensive and time-consuming. Today I will tell you how fashion for short women can be ruthless, I will give an overview of trends that are best avoided and which ones you can take note of. Plus I will provide a list of famous brands that specialize in the production of clothing for petite girls and women.

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

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

• Have you decided to wear bulky clothes? Be sure to add heels or a platform, otherwise you will lose proportions. It is also advisable to tie bulky items with a belt at the waist to maintain harmony in the image and emphasize the figure. Avoid very wide belts.

• Shirt dress. Due to the specific cut, you will look in it as if you were wearing clothes inherited from your older sister. Belt this outfit with a belt and everything will be different. If the sleeve length is too long for you, then roll it up (to look taller and slimmer, ¾ sleeves are ideal)

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

• Maintain the proportions of the top and lower parts bodies. If you wear a long top, tuck it in or secure it with a belt, but fashionable cropped tops are a very useful purchase for petite ones. But it is better to wear with skirts and trousers with high waist, otherwise a “strip” of skin will cut the image and make us shorter.

• The right pants. It's all about the material. If you are the owner 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 light shades, textured or printed. Ideal length trousers (flared, wide, straight) for miniature ones, 1-1.5 cm from the floor with the shoes you will wear with them. For skinny trousers or jeans length is better to choose to the ankle.

• Horizontal stripe. The rule works here, as in architecture - if there is a vertical (one!) stripe, it stretches, a horizontal stripe cuts. By the way, this does not apply to the vest. Horizontal lines - lapels, trouser creases, oblique zipper, row of buttons, dress slit, etc. And also an image in one color. Horizontal - contrasting colors, wide horizontal print, shoulder cutout, wide belt, etc.

• Midi skirts. This length “cuts off” your legs and makes you visually shorter - a misconception. This skirt can and should be worn with heels. Ideal - either a floor-length skirt, a miniskirt, or a skirt just above the kneecap. If the midi skirt is mid-calf, then it is better to wear heels.

• Mid-calf length dresses are quite dangerous. If you want to look taller, then show off your legs and opt for dresses and skirts that fall 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 choose those whose strap matches the color of your skin. It's better to choose the maximum open shoes, so you will “add” length.

• A floor-length skirt - in this outfit you will look like a bell. In fact, this statement is just a myth. Vice versa, long skirt will hide a high heel or platform. By the way, choose a maxi that sits at the waist, as a low-waisted skirt can upset the proportions and make your legs visually shorter. By the way, all the girls in the photo below are shorter than 160 cm.

• Forget about baggy jeans with frills, this will only draw attention to your petite size and make your legs look 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 “skinny” 32 lengths, starting from size 26 or 27. They can easily sit on short young ladies like everyone’s favorite “boyfriends.” It is better to wear these jeans with heels that match your skin color. Pointed loafers or boots, such as silver or gold, are also suitable. If you really want to wear it sports shoes, then take those with a thicker sole. For example, Nike Air Max.

I would like to note that some of these tips are also suitable for overweight people, since if you look taller, then your volume will visually look smaller, and you will look slimmer.

2016 Petite Trends

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

3. Sculpted folds and pleating. Just like stripes, they visually elongate the figure, and therefore you can safely wear pleated skirt or dress.
4. Wrap skirt. Great item, allows you to emphasize the beauty of your legs, adds roundness, and hides your tummy. For fragile short girls, it is better to choose a wrap skirt with a tulip cut; a full-length A-line skirt is suitable. And, of course, do not forget about the correct length!
5. Shine. Now carry things metallic shades, embroidered with sequins or made of fabrics with lurex, can also be worn on weekdays, for example, to work. If you are small and thin, feel free to buy a shiny dress; if you have chic volumes, limit yourself to a small sparkling wardrobe item, for example, a handbag or shoes. It is better to add glitter where you want to create additional volume.
6. Slip dress. A half-forgotten trend is returning to the catwalks and streets. Almost any petite girl can afford a silk dress; it will look especially good with melange sweaters or khaki jackets. When choosing, make sure that such a dress fits you well.
7. Bare shoulders. Old trend V new interpretation– now the neckline area is closed, the emphasis is placed exclusively on the shoulders.
8. Silhouette " hourglass" This year, designers literally demand that the girl has the appropriate figure. And since even the models are not perfect, they gird the girls with a belt. A great trend for all female representatives. For petite girls, it is better to choose thin, narrow belts.
9. Paperbag - you need to be very careful with this trend! If you are a petite girl, s perfect figure and your legs are long enough relative to your body, then you can play around with this trend very carefully. But... if you are unsure, then it is better not to take risks.

HOW TO DRESS FOR PLUS GIRLS?

Every girl has her own body type, and there are areas of the body that embarrass us a little and we would like no one to notice. These may be broad shoulders, short stature, full legs, wide hips or a round face. And you regularly ask yourself the question: ? In order to hide areas that embarrass you, there are several well-known tricks that, nevertheless, help to effectively hide figure flaws. And today we want to tell you more about these tricks.

TRICK #1 – HIDING WIDE HIPS

What should a plump girl wear to hide her wide hips? It is necessary to divert attention from the hips and direct it to some other part of the body, for example, to thin waist. To balance the lower and upper body, as well as highlight the upper body, it is recommended to wear blouses or sweaters bright colors, with a catchy ornament or shiny brooches, as well as with deep cutouts that emphasize the neckline and shoulders.

Another good method to hide wide hips is to use a special underwear made of stretch materials with high rise(preferably up to the waist).

TRICK #2 – HIDING FULL LEGS

How to dress for plus size girls problem area in the leg area? If you want to hide your full legs, you need to wear long and wide skirts. Tights or knee socks should be dark in color, and trousers should have wide legs, not narrow ones like the now fashionable skinny jeans.

TRICK No. 3 – HIDING Sloping Shoulders

The square neckline is the most best method visually hide sloping shoulders, especially if the clothing you choose has a loose, non-tight fit.

TRICK #4 – HIDE YOUR LOW HEIGHT

Long-length dresses, with frills starting from the hips, are exactly those that are best suited for short girls. This dress will visually stretch you. But wearing cropped jackets is not recommended.

TRICK #5 – HIDING THE BElly

If you are unhappy with your belly and have been thinking about how to dress properly for plump girls with this problem area, then you need to wear loose blouses, sweaters or shirts that would draw attention to their top. It is not recommended to wear straight trousers and skirts, as well as tight jeans, blouses with horizontal stripes and wide belts around the waist.

Choice color range is one of the most important tricks that anyone who has wondered about how to dress properly for plump girls needs to know.

• Black clothes make you look slimmer. The same effect, but to a lesser extent, can be achieved if you wear plain clothes in colors such as dark blue, gray, chocolate. Dark colors hide overweight, because they absorb light, and light ones, on the contrary, reflect. This is a basic concept that will tell you throughout your life how to dress for plus-size women. You must remember him always.

• Wearing plain clothes makes you appear slimmer. This occurs due to the fact that clothes of the same color unify the silhouette. For example, wearing a skirt or pants and a blouse in the same tone will give you a more toned appearance than if your top and bottom were different colors.

• If you are combining colors, think about which areas of your body are problematic: above or below the waist. For example, if you want to hide extra pounds in the abdominal area, wear a dark top and light bottom.

• Monochromatic items are slimming, so avoid bright and large patterns such as flowers, geometric figures and horizontal lines in the area of ​​problem areas.

Recommendations for choosing dresses for a short, plump woman

The main thing in this case is to use clothing to hide figure flaws and lengthen the silhouette. So the ideal dress pattern is vertical stripes. The best color combination is black and gray.

Among the patterns, medium or even small designs, a simple check, thin stripes (not horizontal), and a small check look good. But it’s better not to choose dresses with large provocative patterns.

When thinking about dress styles for a short, plump woman, avoid models with shoulder pads and boleros that are worn over the top. The length should be medium and additional elements– miniature sizes. This means pockets, belts, frills, collars, buttons. There should be no patch pockets at all.

In case of evening outings for overweight women short stature are ideal for stylish and fashionable dresses to the floor The high waist will help hide your baby bump, and the cascading waves will look absolutely stunning.

The hem of a dress in a flared style and knee-length or slightly higher is undesirable for plump and short ladies. They serve the opposite purpose, making them wider and lower, while we are trying to achieve the opposite. But a pencil dress is what you need.

As for the fabrics, they should be soft and light enough. Of course, stiffer materials are also possible, but avoid printed and too dense ones, as they will only make your figure heavier.

Many small girls are full of complexes because of this, in their opinion, shortcoming. But I hasten to dissuade you, high and strong men They choose miniature ladies as their companions. So, in fact, there are only advantages here. A small dog is a puppy until it grows old, says a wise saying. Of course, dear ladies, the comparison is not very good, but we all know that a woman of short stature, even at 45, always looks younger than her age, especially if she takes care of herself. And of course, if he competently selects clothes, shoes, accessories for himself and knows how to present himself correctly.

Clothes for short girls, what to choose

When you come to the store, you shouldn’t focus only on the models that are now at the peak of fashion. For example, clothing with many layers and loose fit, is currently relevant, but it doesn’t suit you - you will look like a schoolgirl whose mother bought clothes for her growing up. This type of clothing visually increases the volume of the figure, making even a very fragile girl shorter and fuller. Your entire appearance should tend upward, that is, the shoulder girdle should not be overloaded and look larger than the bottom. No shoulder pads or baggy clothes! But a stand-up collar will add a couple of treasured sentiments to you.

Jackets and blouses should not be of very elongated styles - the figure will seem disproportionate and squat. Choose elegant, fitted pieces that flatter your silhouette. Avoid bulky ones knitted sweaters with a closed neck.

Slightly tight-fitting vests, pullovers and knitted blouses, and T-shirts with a deep triangular neckline will best “stretch out” the silhouette. This neckline visually lengthens the upper body.

Choose clothes that do not visually split your figure into two parts and do not create unnecessary fullness at the waist. This means that the top should smoothly transition to the bottom. If you break the figure with clothes contrasting colors or materials that do not coordinate with each other, you will only emphasize short stature.

Avoid wide belts or belts that do not match the clothes, they will give the “effect” of shortening.

Color and silhouette

Anything dark will suit you, but not boring rich colors– they significantly “lengthen” the figure, just like vertical stripes. Clothes with vertical lines will look good decorative seams or stripes, small geometric pattern. Eliminate from your wardrobe outfits with large floral print or ornament. Give preference to laconic styles and solid colors.

Particular “destroyers” of harmony are horizontal stripes, any checkered pattern and a rounded pattern. These tips are also suitable for overweight women - they will look not only taller, but also slimmer. Clothing for children in bright colors is definitely not suitable; in combination with short stature, it will give you a frivolous appearance.

Choosing the perfect trousers for short people

It is best to choose trousers that are straight and not too tight. Classic trousers with arrows will suit you. The length should be such that the edge of the trouser legs reaches the end of the heel, then the legs will appear slender.

It is better to choose jeans that are high-waisted and tapered at the bottom rather than wide “pipes.” Denim that tightly hugs the legs is good only in combination with high heels.

Feel free to avoid tight and short trousers - your legs look out of proportion in them. When trying on capris, pay attention to the fact that there are no cut-off parts or cuffs; such trousers will look bulky, which means they will not decorate you.

Shorts, necessary and convenient thing For any girl, petite girls are no exception, wear it on. An elongated, tight-fitting T-shirt with a small print on it is perfect for them. Do not buy trousers with a cuff or low waist, all this will visually make you heavier and shorten your figure.

What skirts and dresses are suitable for short girls

Feel free to skip dresses and skirts with yokes and with numerous gathers, this style will make you look squat. Only moderately tight dresses with a slightly high waist will suit you - this will visually lengthen your legs.

If you have a standard figure, then the length can be either maxi or mini. But the best option for petite girls - straight skirts to the knees or slightly lower. A model with a long length reaching to the middle of the calf - the losing option will make your legs appear short. A sheath dress is perfect.

Coat Yes, lush fur No

Long coat is not the best suitable option– will emphasize small growth. Double-breasted, with large hoods and voluminous collars, coats will make the upper body disproportionately heavy and boxy. It’s better to take a closer look at the fitted and simple styles up to the knees.

Fur products, even the most expensive ones, will create unnecessary volume, and the figure will look wide and squat.

Shoes and accessories

Shoes for “babies” are definitely on high heels. But don't overdo it, excesses like platform shoes with incredibly high heels will make you look comical. But you can’t do without an item that adds the desired centimeters. The height of the heel should be approximately 5 - 7 cm.

Avoid heavy and chunky shoes. Combined with her short stature, it looks strange, to say the least, and does not make her look slimmer at all. Elegant shoes are suitable for summer, and high-heeled boots are good for autumn.

Buy a bag that is small according to your dimensions. Big hairstyles, big hats, fat ones knitted scarves– not for you. A petite lady should have everything to suit herself - small earrings, bracelets and pendants, belts and handbags, beads - all only of moderate size. Do not put on or wear bulky items and large accessories, they “set off” your small stature.

By wearing strict black trousers or skirts and snow-white blouses, you clearly “cut” your figure into contrasting zones and reduce your height.

But if you give up the classic length, you will gain a lot. It’s good if the trouser legs cover the entire shoe, it’s not only fashionable, but visually elongates the silhouette. But shortened versions that open the ankle will look no less impressive. But the classics, unfortunately, are not.

Simple tips on how to dress short girls - pictured here:

What dresses suit short girls

Using the same principle as with a skirt or trousers, you should decide which dress is suitable. On short girls, “mini” looks amazing when paired with high-heeled shoes. But at the same time, forget about too complex and pretentious cut and active decor - loose or close-fitting silhouettes will be the best options.

What dresses should short girls wear: print and cut elements

Which print to choose depends only on the characteristics of your figure. Do you want to appear slimmer? Choose a small, crisp print: polka dots, checks or vertical stripes. But monochromatic models that do not “cut” the figure invariably look good. In this design, maxi-length models look great, but always with a wide, flowing, loose hem, a clearly defined waistline and a delicately designed neckline. These dresses are perfect for short girls.

Pay attention to important, but at first glance, insignificant, but negative details. Such as large cut elements: patch pockets, voluminous collars and current “wide” shoulders, even double-breasted fastening in the case of miniature figure can play a cruel joke.

But the question arises especially acutely when choosing outerwear, which one exactly coat will do short girl? The principle is the same as in the selection of dresses: a minimum of details that “shorten” the silhouette and an exact match to your own color scheme.

The color of the model should enhance the impression and highlight the subtlety of the shades. But at the same time, you should not get carried away with dark tones - light and bright colors will cope with this task perfectly.

Excess weight is not a hindrance to beauty. But plump, short girls should dress as thoughtfully as possible. The basic principles are still the same - build visual verticals in the image, stretch out the proportions and, in no case, “cut” them.
