Dressing Tips To Fit Your Body Shape & Height

How best a dress fit is as a result of knowing what fits the body shape and height. Understanding this basic helps accentuate good features and makes one dress in a suitable way.

Short Height

                                   
If you are less than 5ft  3, you are petite.          

Facts                        
                                                        
The higher the waist, the better the outcome: Wearing a high-waist bottom can help make the legs look longer than they really are.
Crop it: Pairing a high-waisted bottom with a cropped top is okay.        
                                       
Go for monochrome: Wearing too much colour can make you look frumpy than you really are. So, an ideal choice would be to wear your outfit all in one colour.        

Go for maxi dresses: They are form-fitting and show off the silhouette, distracting others from  focusing on your height.              

Avoid Capri pants: The length is unflattering since it cuts the legs into half.  But if you must, buy form- fitting ones that match your skin tone, since it can blend in well with the legs.                              
Do not wear loose baggy clothes: They tend to make the torso appear longer, making your height shorter.                                      
Medium Height                                                                    

         
Facts

You can get away with virtually any style of clothing as long as your shape is proportional with your height. Since you are neither petite nor overly tall, most clothing items will sit quite well on you.

Tall Height          

                 
Facts

Avoid baggy clothes or outfits with a straight- line pattern: They create an elongated look and will make you look even taller. Choose fitted tops instead and emphasise your waist with belts or wear separates to make you look better proportioned.
 
Don't do monochrome: This will draw attention to your height. Keep brighter colours limited to one item clothing on the top or bottom.      
                      
Wear a jacket: Not cropped jacket but choose a popular fabric or pattern in a longer style instead.                                                  
To accessorize your shape do the following
   
Avoid flat platforms: They do not complement your clothes. Rather, wear wedges or platform heels as these kinds of shoes give the illusion that you are taller.                                
                    
Use belts that are not wider than one inch: Go for pointed, feminine style toed shoes rather than rounded or squared ones. Stylish and sexy stilettos will lengthen and flattering your leg and can be teamed with any outfit.

Short legs require bags and purses which are leg-lengthening. Go for long and structured accessories and avoid large oversized totes.                                  
Bold jewellery, big belts and giant bags are just okay.        
             
You look great when you wear the right hat.      

High heels are not off-limits for you but wear the right heels height and style. Avoid gladiator sandals. A pair of flats can really add something to any outfit.
