about sizing

but how clothes

make you feel.

PETITE

POINTERS

Head to toe colour elongates your

figure. Petites won’t feel swamped by

maxi lengths if sticking to one shade.

Add volume with prints. Geometric

and busy prints can be tricky

because they can draw attention to

curves but they are a petite girl’s BFF.

Balance your proportions by

showing off your waist, whether with

a belt or by choosing a fitted shape.

Rely on form-fitting tops. Don’t

drown your frame in baggy tops,

wear shapes that skim your body.

Show off your ankles by letting

your maxi fall just above or by

drawing attention with an anklet

• Monikh uses this trick (left).
  Make friends with a seamstress,
  don’t think you just have to shop in
  the petite section. Having pieces
  tailored to fit opens up a whole
  new realm of chic possibilities.
