Fashion Tips For Short Women
1. The Wrong Shoes
Yes! Most obviously shoes play an important role if you want to appear taller. But, guess what! If you don’t choose the right type of shoes you might actually look shorter. If you want to appear taller you should certainly be avoiding shoes with ankle straps or high vamps. Technically speaking, opting for shoes that expose your feet is a guaranteed way to create an illusion of longer legs and a taller you.
2. Big Bags
Big bags are quite the trend now, right? Oddly, these large bags might give you a trendy look but can easily make you look shorter for a fact. If you are someone who is keen on looking tall, you should go for chic and small handbags that enhance your entire look. Big bags are one of the fashion mistakes to avoid if you are short since big bags can actually make you look timid. Cute satchels, messenger bags or perky slings balance out almost any outfit without affecting your height negatively.
3. The Wrong Skirt Length
Skirts maybe our all-time favorites when it comes to a day out with our friends or family, but they come in so many different styles, cuts and patterns that it gets quite confusing while making the right choice. Wearing the right kind of skirt may make you look picture perfect but the wrong ones might completely ruin your look and to the horror of many girls, make you look shorter! It is always best to be aware of your body type while choosing a skirt for yourself. For example, if you are a little short, avoiding full midi skirts and ankle length skirts might be a great idea. The base rule is straight forward – either keep it short and simple above the knee or opt for the longer floor-length skirts.

4. Haircuts
The list gets more interesting as we introduce our next one on the list. And who could have thought? Haircuts! To much of your surprise (and ours) haircuts do affect our height. You might be in love with your lovely long tresses, but long unkempt hair does make you look shorter. You could alternatively go for hairstyles that show off your neck as it adds an illusion of height.
5. Wearing Loose Tops With Loose Bottoms
Just the mention of oversized clothing brings in the idea of comfort to our heads. Beyond that, oversized clothes are in fashion now. The problem starts when you want to mix this into fashion for short women. If you overdo the oversized thingy, it will definitely make you look shorter than your normal height. So it’s best to ardently go by the loose-tight equation; pair a loose top with a tight fitted bottom or vice versa.
