How Do I Dress My Body??
Hey Ladies!
This is Amanda, The Original Hanger Girl!
I am a petite woman and people comment on how well I know how to dress myself! Thank You!
I will give you all some ideas for petite women but then we can explore other body types in the next few weeks!
Dressing a Petite Woman:
Most of dressing to look your best is about creating a cohesive, elongated look.
V- Necks
Show off a feminine style by showing your clavicles.
Wearing a v-neck shirt elongates your neck.
Vertical Lines
We all know horizontal lines were a big trend of 2012.
Now that it is 2013, lets put away this unflattering trend and add in more vertical stripes!
Solid Colors
Solid colors can be really flattering but make sure you pick the correct color for your skin tone.
I have olive skin and jewel tones tend to look best on me.
An great dress in a solid color can be great for any occasion. You can dress it up or down with accessories!
Smaller Bags
Big, bulky bags may be convenient to throw all of your items into but they may not be proportional to your body type.
If you are petite I would stick with a clutch for any occasion.
Perfect Clothing Fit
If you are trying to cover up your body with big over-sized clothing you are not doing yourself any good. Most times over-sized clothing make you look bigger, especially us petite girls.
Keep it fitted when it comes to your clothes.
Or you can always tailor it in with a skinny belt and a great fitted blazer.
High Heels
Weather you love them or dread them high heels (even a small 1" heel) can flatter any woman.
So break high heels out of the closet and give them a try!
