Skirts
While there may not be any fashion rules set in stone there are certain guidelines that can help when choosing Petite Skirts: Certain styles that generally speaking tend to accentuate the things you want accentuated: And some styles that should be avoided if you are a particular shape. This pretty much goes whether you are less than 5’ 3” or 6’ tall – There are certain cuts to avoid if you are bottom heavy or have short legs (proportionally speaking of course!) – Because even people who are 6’ tall can have short legs!
Proportion and figure shape must be considered when choosing Petite Skirts or any other item of clothing. Pencil skirts look great on slim figures and can be worn for most occasions: Side slits will also accentuate the length of your legs. Long ankle length petite skirts are best when they are a straight cut. If you are looking for a short petite skirt it should sit on the knee or higher. Short skirts above the knee will make your legs look longer. However, if it is mid way your legs will tend to look shorter.
Petite skirts look best worn with matching shoes and tights as this lengthens the look. Narrow pleated petite skirts and vertical stripes also elongate. If you are wearing boots go for a long skirt that hangs over the top of the boots to keep the look together. Fancy putting this all to the test? Go Shorty!
