1. When shopping for clothes for petite women, you need to pick clothing items that would help you create an illusion of length. Monochromes with a little colour touches here and there would be great. You could also have simple dresses with colorful patches worn too.
2. Tight silhouettes are also best to bring on an illusion of style and length to the short petite or curvy lass.
3. Wear heels with your clothes, and not too high with the heels or else it would make the OTT disastrous tone come through. The same should be with the accessories you wear; not too heavy, not too bulky and not too large!

4. When choosing a skirt or pants, the color should be the same as your belt. This brings about an illusion of length as well.
5. Choose patterns that are vertical and not horizontal; a contrast on the pants to the tops would be best when horizontal stripes aren’t used.
6. High waist empirical pants and skirts help make the legs look long, but wear heels with them for more height to play with.
7. When choosing cardigans and straight jackets, the front should be open, which should be ideally the same length as your top or the skirt you wear.

11. When we say don’t get to boxy with your fashion sense, we mean don’t wear accessories that are too bold and OTT.
12. Oversized clothing is a NO-NO as well, especially those wide tops and with plenty of layers. Never tuck your pants in your shoes or boots, and wear belts that are narrow!
