Fashion Tips for short women!

Here are some great fashion tips if you're not supermodel tall but still want the look!

Lengthen the line of your body with monochromatic colors.

If you wear a different color on top as opposed to the bottom, you tend to cut your body in half visually which makes you appear shorter. This is particularly true if one color is light and the other dark. Instead try wearing a monochromatic outfit in a single shade of shirt and pants or shirt and skirt. This creates a long, lean line that adds the illusion of height to your figure. 


Wear dark colors.

Dark colors, particularly if monochromatic, add the illusion of height. A black top and slim black pants with carefully chosen accessories and moderate to high heels in black gives a long, lean sophisticated line that's perfect for a variety of occasions. Dark colors also make you look slimmer which is an added bonus.

Avoid shorter, flared pants and Capri pants.

You'll appear to be taller if you wear a pants length that covers the shoe. The popular Capri style pant can break your height and make your appear shorter. Straight pants are also more flattering than flared ones if you want to appear taller. 


Wear higher waisted pants and skirts for maximum height.

High waisted pants can add the illusion of height and greater leg length. Avoid hip pant styles if you're shorter in stature

 Choose a thinner belt.

Thick, bulky belts tend to cut the length of your body. Opt for a thinner belt, if you wear one at all. Also avoid belts in a color that contrasts with the shade of your outfit or one that has too much detailing.

 Choose your shoe wisely.

You don't need to wear stiletto heels everyday just because you're short. A more comfortable shoe with a moderate heel and matching hose that blends with your outfit
