Knowing how to style your body shape can do wonders for your appearance, self-esteem and confidence. It is important to know how to best style your body shape. Different pieces and accessories look good on their own, but knowing the best pieces that would flatter your body shape will take your style game to a whole new level. If you are wondering how to go about dressing your petite body shape, you are in luck! As a petite woman myself, I know all about the struggles of finding the right pieces and accessories to flatter our figure. If you are on the hunt for petite styling tips, here are 3 styling tips that will flatter your silhouette –

Opt for tailored pieces

When it comes to the petite woman styling, going for tailored pieces is so important, as they naturally flatter your figure. I like to shop the petite section when available with brands as their pieces usually are well fitted with minimal or no adjustment required. Well-fitted petite pieces can dramatically elevate the overall look, which is why this is the first main styling tip. Clothing that is not tailored can add extra bulk to the frame and create a frumpy look. Opting for tailored pieces, preferably in from the petite section is the way to style.

Focus on the waist

Focusing on the waist balances out proportions nicely, and creates definition. This style tip is so useful when it comes to styling pieces that are not as tailored as you would like. Belted dresses and tops create structure, which balances out the silhouette. Popping on a stylish belt is a quick and easy way to step up your petite styling game.

Go for lightweight fabrics and layer smart

Bulky fabrics can drown a petite frame, so opt for lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, or fine cotton, for a sleek look. When layering, start with the lightest fabric closest to the skin, and add layers as required. Remember proportions when layer, so you don’t look swamped with fabric.

High waists rock

High waisted pieces look wonderful on the petite woman. If you are looking at an easy way to step up your petite style game, invest in some quality high waisted pieces to elevate your look. They work great because they create the illusion of longer legs and shorter torso. If you really want to step up your style game, you can try styling a well-fitted blouse with high waisted trousers or jeans and a belt.

Hats

An outfit is never complete without the right set of accessories, and hats are great accessories to invest in for winter. Hats can add extra warmth and style to winter look. They are also usually affordable, which is makes it a budget-friendly way to grow your winter fashion accessories. I like to have a few hats in different designs and colours ready for the chilly weather, and these days, I find that I never leave the house without one.

Gloves

Another way to add some style and warmth to your look this chilly season is to invest in quality gloves. There are loads available on the high street and designer stores, so they are many to choose from if you are looking to add to your collection. I like to have my gloves stylish but functional, so I ensure they come in the right size and are fit for purpose.

Comfy Socks

Comfy socks are essentials especially during the winter season. I like my socks very soft and comfortable, and I like to have loads to choose from, since I wear socks pretty much everyday except when it gets really warm. Socks can also add personality and charm to your look. So, it’s worth shopping around for quirky designs if yiu are into socks with characters, funky prints, and the likes.

Jewellery

Accessories are never complete without some form of jewellery regardless of the season. For winter, I like to wear bolder pieces of jewellery to add some extra glam to finish up my look. Statement jewellery add an extra sparkle and glam to your look. It is worth investing in a few quality pieces of jewellery as they can usually be worn all year long.

Cornrows

Cornrows are like the OG of natural protective hairstyles and are arguable the most protective natural hairstyle. If you are after a low maintenance hair style, you may find classic Cornrows easy to maintain. There are different types of Cornrows hairstyles that keep the hair nicely tucked in, promoting hair growth, while protecting the hair from external stressors. Pinterest is a great platform to check out natural hairstyles for inspiration and ideas. So, if you are thinking of getting Cornrows done, you can have a look online for various Cornrows hairstyles that will suit your face and lifestyle. Depending on the type of Cornrows you install, you can expect the style to last for around 4-6 weeks.

Box Braids

Box Braids are really popular now, and it is not surprising as they are quite to easy to maintain and gentle on the scalp. They are also quite versatile, great for various hair textures and lengths, and easy to style. If you are looking to grow your hair, you should consider installing box braids. With proper care, you can have your Box Braids on for about 6-8 weeks, which will give your natural hair time to grow undisturbed.

Twists

When it comes to protective natural hairstyles, Twists are definietly my favourite. I love how they look, especially when they are installed in big sizes. Twists are less tension inducing than braids, they are also easier to remove, but usually longer to install. They can be installed in different lengths and sizes, and usually last an average of 6 – 8 weeks. They can be styled in a variety of ways, so it is quite easy to change the look every now and again.

Goddess Braids

Goddess Braids are also very popular at the moment, and looking at the protective hairstyle, it is easy to see why. It is super stylish and trendy, However, a bit more maintenance is needed with this hairstyle due to the curls and the length. For those who are after a more over the top look, Goddess Braids is worth checking out.

Protective hairstyles are great for retaining hair length and reducing breakage as there is less manipulation. Keeping your natural hair moisturised with the right hair oils and products will work wonders with the protective hairstyle. Also, as little manipulation as possible when it comes to styling your protective hairstyle, this will help your hair stay healthy and neat. Goddess Braids can also last around 6-8 weeks depending on the type of curls used.
