FABRIC
Always choose flowy, airy, and breezy fabrics such as chiffon, satin, silk, crepe, and georgette. It will give a comfy well-fitted look.
WELL-STRUCTURED OUTFITS
A well-structured outfit that effortlessly fits you is one of the core aspects of appearing taller. It will accentuate your body proportion, creating an illusion of a taller torso. After all, these teeny-tiny details can make a huge difference. Avoid wearing airy outfits such as an oversized kaftan, jacket, or kurta. It will do nothing but make you appear clumsy.
APPROPRIATE NECKLINE
Women with petite figures must wear lehenga, saree, and kurta sets with a plunge V neckline for cocktail and festive events. For casual occasions, you must wear a V neckline. This will make you look modish. And make your neck visible as much as possible, as the more it is visible, the taller you will appear.
AVOID LAYERING
Everywhere you see, you will find women wearing multi-layered shirts, Kurtis, suits, and skirts. Layering will divide your body into multiple frames, which will make you appear short. When it comes to ethnic wear, avoid wearing long jacket-style kurtas and lehengas.
MINIMAL EMBROIDERY AND DITSY PRINTS
Always choose dresses showcasing minimal ditsy prints with delicate motleys because the more significant the motif is, the bulkier and broader you will appear. Instead, select stripes that run along your body length, thereby creating a vertical illusion.
HIGH WAIST BOTTOMS
Choose palazzos, skirts, and pants with a high waist as it will make your legs appear longer. Wear your bralette, fitted blouse, or crop top with fit and flare bottoms for an edgy look.
MONOCHROME OUTFITS
Wearing outfits with the same color or wearing a monochrome outfit will raise the chances of making you appear taller. Choose co-ord sets, jumpsuits, kurta sets, lehenga, three-piece suits, and sarees in the same color. This creates a vertical illusion of color, making you appear sleek, lean, and giving you an illusionary height.
APPROPRIATE SLEEVE LENGTH
Petite women must avoid wearing balloons, puffs, and 3/4th sleeves. Choose half sleeves, elbow-length sleeves, and noodle-straps to avoid looking clumsy.
NARROW-WIDTH BRODER AND WAISTBAND
Bollywood is booming with the trend of outfits with thick borders and waistbands. But, we would strongly suggest that you must avoid such outfits. The thickness of the band and edge will create a horizontal divider, thereby making you appear short. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you go for a borderless or a narrow border and waistband.
MULTI-LAYER SIGNATURE NECKLACE
Always remember that chunky chokers and necklaces are a big NO! It will hide your neck. Instead, choose a multi-layer necklace. They marvelously add significant length to your overall look. There is no boundation when it comes to the elements of the necklace until it is multi-layered.
THIN-WIDTH HAND ACCESSORIES
Choose thin or medium-sized hand accessories. A majority of petite women have tiny fingers and palms, and wearing chunky bangles, cuffs, rings, and bracelets will diminish the length’s integrity, thereby making your hands appear chubbier. Do not overdo it with bangles.
TASSEL AND LONG DANGLERS
By now, you might have understood what this last segment is about. Broad chunky stud earrings are an absolute No! You do not want to look bulky and short. Instead, choose tassel and long danglers. These will add a classic, refined touch as most petite women have short necks. This will work magic.
