High shoes with 12 cm heels are the best friends of petite girls. Of course, they are not very comfortable, and in fact you could limit them at least to the occasions when you need to be at the peak of shape and beauty. The platform can help make heels more comfortable, so you can opt for heels and platforms.

Another little tip: nude, neutral or nude colored shoes increase the natural height effect you may want.

Always choose thin belts

A good trick to avoid increasing the "petite woman" effect is certainly not to wear flashy belts, which often only very tall and skinny models can afford.

Always choose thin belts, which emphasize the figure without making it disappear behind a leather or leather band.

Wear skinny pants

Whether they are jeans or not, try to wear skinny pants, because they emphasize the legs and slim them. Dark colors, of course, are preferable to light ones.

Soft pants are perhaps more comfortable, but certainly less elegant, less sexy, and hardly give!

The V-neck sweaters help to slim the figure

The purpose of dressing, whether you are petite or short, is always to slim. Therefore, in addition to skinny jeans and platform heels, the ideal tops and sweaters are those with a V-neck, which lengthen the figure (and enhance the bust). In addition, of course, to emphasize the bust or a nice décolleté.

The shorts, practical and sexy

Shorts require balance when you are petite. Better to avoid culottes and hot pants, they would make you get the opposite effect. Instead, prefer short shorts, which resemble miniskirts and achieve the same effect: slender legs.

Like shorts (of the right length), miniskirts are also the short girl's must-have. A mini, in fact, is better than a longuette or medium-height skirt, which would tend to wrap you up too much, making you disappear. The important thing is to play with it.
