SKIP THESE Fashion Trends IF YOU ARE SHORT (like me!)

August 28, 2023 · In: Fashion

I love trends! But there are some that I simply don’t care for and some that don’t work well for my body type. As a proud 5’1.5″ and a half individual, I’ve learned a thing or two about what works best for us vertically challenged fashion lovers. Today, let’s dive into a crucial topic for all my petite girls out there: the trends to steer clear of if you want to enhance your height and rock your style confidently.

  1. Floor-Dragging Maxi Dresses: While these dresses might be stunning, they can easily overwhelm us short gals. The voluminous fabric and length can make us look like we’re drowning in fabric. Opt for more fitted silhouettes or mid-thigh lengths that accentuate your body shape.

Choose these instead

  1. Exaggerated Shoulder Trend: Those giant YSL-style shoulders might be the rage on the runway, but they can cut off our proportions and make us appear even shorter. Opt for blazers that cinch at the waist or tie around it for a more flattering shape.

CHOOSE THESE INSTEAD

  1. Flat Shoes Without a Pointed Toe: Heels are our best friends when it comes to looking taller, but when flats are a must, choose ones with a pointed toe. They create an illusion of longer legs and a sleeker silhouette. Consider options like pointed-toe flats or slingbacks for a chic and elongated look.

CHOOSE THESE INSTEAD

Remember, confidence and good posture are your ultimate assets! Standing tall and embracing your unique style will always make you shine. And if you’re looking for some fantastic fashion inspiration, don’t forget to join us on our Fashion event on Amazon LIVE every Saturday at 12:15 PM. Until next time, take care and stay stylish!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
