Even if you're not supermodel tall, you can still wear the latest fashions and look great. Short women have some advantages in the fashion world. You can only add so much length to a pair of pants or a skirt by letting down the hemline, but you can take up a pair of pants as much as you need to get a perfect fit. If you are a shorter woman, your goal is most likely to give the illusion of length. This can be done by tricking the eye using clever fashion techniques. Here are some of the best fashion tips for short women:
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.
Wear dark colors
Dark colors, particularly if monochromatic, add the illusion of height. A black top and slim black pants with some 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 will also make you look slimmer.
