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!

Accessories Are Necessities

Accessories are Necessities   Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are all doing well! In this blog I will be covering a few pieces of styling advice I have for choosing accessories for a petite frame! Personally, accessories are some of my very favorite items as they can add so much depth to an outfit. Whether it be a pair of dazzling hoops or the perfect belt I think accessories are extremely useful for dressing as a petite woman. Below I have a few tips on how to select the perfect accessories.  1. Choose boots that hit just above the ankle or even below the ankle! Since boots are a staple item it is very helpful to know which ones will look best on you! Ankle boots will always hit your legs at a flattering place so no matter what the boot looks like they will compliment you and your outfit. Although very high boots may be super cute these types of shoes often do not flatter shorter legs. However, if you do choose a longer boot pick one with a bit of a heel to it to help...

Below are a new 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:)  Try to stay away from bulky or highly textured garments.
