I am short as in just over five feet short and I have some good news unlike recent years there are actually quite a few Trends in 2023 that a short girls can Embrace without feeling like we look frumpy or like clothes are overwhelming our small frames the bad news is that there still are a few trends that we really should avoid because they're not doing us any favors at least if we are Desiring to elongate our petite bodies.
So if you are short like me or if you have shorter legs also
like me or if you are an average height and you just want to look taller then
I'm going to help you navigate the three trends that you should avoid this year
and what you should invest in and wear instead so I’m going to be referencing
three articles they’re from Vogue glamor and who what where and I'll link them
below if you want to read them over the first Trend.
Trend 1: Oversized Everything
Trend 1 to avoid is the oversized
everything Trend glamor reported that the oversized and loose fitting
outfits are going to continue to be on the rise in 20 2023that's anything from
oversized Blazers extra-large tops flared bottoms and also wide leg jeans now
don't get me wrong I actually love oversized pieces but petites need to style
them in a very specific way so my tip is to show skin wherever you feel
comfortable doing sour mix and match oversized pieces with tight fitting pieces
oversized needs to look intentional.
So when wearing oversized clothes be sure that the real you
is hiding somewhere in the mix for example I'm going to link these baggy
read-on jeans that I'm wearing right now they’re technically a high rise but
they’re sitting lower on my waist because they are slightly oversized so if I
had combined these with a loose-fitting top it would be completely overwhelming
on my frame but because I paired them with something that is more tight fitting
on top and I'm exposing a little bit of skin where I feel comfortable then it
works even though I’m petite the second Trend to avoid.
Trend 2: The Bigger the Better
Trend 2 the bigger the better better bags Trend how to
style and choose a bag with an outfit especially as a petite or just trying to
look taller but now Vogue says gone are the days when I want to wear a micro
bag that can only fit my lip gloss and my driver's license inside I'm now
all about enormous totes and endless amounts of things that I can fit inside
them honestly this trend is only for people who are taller than us petites and
as a short girl.
if you're going to go purse shopping 99 of the bags on the
shelves are already too big on us so on one side of the coin you can choose a
standard bag and there you go you're now wearing the big bag trend on the other
side of the coin the size of the bag is always going to imply something about
your size bags need to be proportionate to the person that is wearing them
everybody who is carrying a bag is going to have this issue.
So if you are somebody who just needs a bigger bag in your
lifestyle but you don't want it to overwhelm your small frame then you can opt
for just that standard size bag or tote and then maybe inside it you could
carry a smaller bag for when you need Torun into a store or go to a restaurant
but definitely avoid those enormous totes at all costs the third Trend.
Trend 3: On the Knee Trend
Trend 3 avoid is the on the knee Trend so who what
where is seeing a Resurgence in knee length skirts they admitted that the
pencil skirts have usually been seen as ugly or difficult to get right but they
went on to say as seen in the Milan Fashion Week show knee length skirts are making
a comeback but in fact they weren't sure as to how long they would actually be
a trend or if they would go main stream since
midis are way more popular here's what I know for sure if you
need to wear these types of skirts in your lifestyle it's best to just take that
length a bit above or below the knee just like in a composition of ardor
photography you never want to visually cut yourself at an appendage and this is
true with clothing as well because it becomes awkward to the eye and it can
stunt your height like an optical illusion and perhaps the most common knee
length skirt that we see is a pencil skirt but these are surprisingly
specific to a body shape in order for it to flatter very well
and it can be really easy to exaggerate your proportions in ways that you did not
intend to or just make it really frankly difficult to move around in which is why
I don't like to wear them and that's my review of the three trends that you
should avoid if you want to look taller and what you should wear instead for 2023
and remember even more important than looking taller at the end of the day all
Trends are okay to adopt if they remain true to your style and your personal
taste and we get to decide if a trend is worthy to be included in our wardrobe
herbs rather than letting the trend dictate our style every single year.
