Blouses, Shirts, and Tops


Blouses, Shirts, and Tops

Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are all doing well! I’ve decided that today would be a great day to discuss some tips regarding shirt styling. I have put together a list of ideas on how to style your shirts to make you look taller and slimmer. Below are a few pieces of advice on how to choose shirts, blouses, and tops to flatter a petite frame. I hope you enjoy these ideas and find them useful! 

1. Wear fitted shirts. Tops that are fitted or semi-fitted tend to flatter petite frames. This is because loosely fitting clothing items may overwhelm your figure or even make you appear bulky when you are not. However, if you prefer to wear loose-fitting clothing try to balance out the look by wear one fitted item and one non-fitted item. A great example of this is pairing a large t-shirt with skinny jeans and high heels. This will create an elegant and balanced look that will help elongate your figure even when you wear a non-fitted item. 

2. Choose shirts with a V neck. As mentioned in my previous blog about swimwear V neck cuts are flattering on a petite frame. This type of cut is great for us shorter ladies because the deeper neckline creates the appearance of length. Therefore a V neck will help you look taller and leaner in your outfits. Also this type of shirt cut is very popular at the moment so many options are available online and at retail stores. 

3. Do not be afraid to try a cropped top! On petite women crop tops may hit at a more flattering length on the body as opposed to how standard-sized items lay. A crop top may even fit like a normal petite top on those who have a short torso. I have personally found cropped tips with high waisted jeans to look very nice on those who are petite. I believe this look helps create the illusion of longer legs to make you look taller and slimmer. 

I hope these tips will assist  you on your shopping journey to find the perfect top. I feel these tips will help you achieve a very complimentary look for your frame! Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! 

Much love!

Welcome!!!

Hello everyone!!! Welcome to Angela's Petite Fashion Survival Guide! As a girl sizing up to the massive height of 5'0" tall, I have had my fair share of fashion disasters. This includes all the dreaded long baggy jeans, awkward length skirts and shopping in the children's section. But through all these fashion nightmares, I have also found a love for clothing and how much it has to offer in regards to personal creativity. To me, clothing is an outlet to show who you are whether it be to stand out with a bold print, reference a previous age with a vintage look or keeping it simple with athleisure. So, with all the opportunities that clothing gives to us, I feel like there is not a super inclusive place for petite women in the fashion industry. Because of this, I am creating this blog as an outlet to showcase my adventures as a petite shopper. Through this journey, I look forward to sharing all the ups and downs as well as the tips for surviving clothing shopping as a ti...

I hope you enjoy these ideas and find them useful:)  Try to stay away from bulky or highly textured garments. Although these items are typically very cute and trendy they may not complement a petite frame. Unfortunately sweaters and other textured items may appear boxy or bulky.
