Petite figures can also be a combination of the other body types. The most important thing for petites is to be sure their clothes fit properly.

TIPS

• Ankle length and boot cut jeans make for a taller look.
• Be sure to keep skirt and dress lengths above the knee to balance proportions.
• A hip length jacket can add inches to a short torso.
• Pointy toe heels make legs appear longer and leaner.
• A higher waist can make legs appear longer. Avoid this however, if you have fuller hips.
