i'm petite at 5ft. what could i wear thats flattering to my height! I've already got loads heeled shoes!

Answer 1

I'm 5'1" I know how you feel!

I tend to go for short skirts because long skirts make me look shorter. I wear extra low-rise pants because on me, that's like low-rise. I tend to have to roll up my pants at the bottom about 3 inches unless I can find specifically 'short' pants. Capris look like high-waters on me. Stay away from those!

other than that, wear clothes that fit and that you like. V-necks and vertical prints are supposed to make you look longer. I say, just do what you like in your size. You'll just look pretty and small. and what's so bad about that?

Answer 2

You know, you don't necessarily HAVE to wear high heeled shoes to "flatter your height" or make you look better. You can look just fine in small heels as well. I'm 5'4", not much taller, but wish I could be 5'7"! Don't think of your height as a handicap. Your features (what ever they are) are pretty at 5ft as they are at 4ft or 6ft. Wear your jeans a little higher on your hip to lengthen your legs. If you wear them so they are really low, yeah your belly may be cute, but your legs could look less flattering then they could be. I don't know if you have trouble with pants being too long, I do sometimes, so go for the pants that don't come in stardard sizes (ie 1, 2, 3...) look for jeans that have sizes that come in (example) 4P, 4S, 4R, 4L- these letters signify whether it is petite, short (same as petite), regular or long. The more expensive brands usually have this "feature" (ie: Gap, Express... and so on) The cheaper brands don't do this. You can wear any type of shirt really... you can do the long shirt thing and it will still look good and even give you some height... just be sure it's an appropriate length for the style of shirt. Being short isn't bad. Petite is attractive.

Answer 3

well at 5ft..you are good height..heels are the only thing..you can wear skinny jeans with the heels to make your legs look longer..tight jeans that are a little long past your heels..it should compliment you well..i am also very petite..small frame..5ft 1inches..and i wear low heels..i perferre to look short..also since i am slim I think that when i put on heels that are beyond 2inches i look tall and skinny and thats not a good look to me..so if i wear low heels say about 1and ahalf inces or 2inches it compliments me better...different strokes for different folks..I personally when i buy something i make sure that it compliments me..it could liptsick..a blouse a pants..jeans..whatever...we have to go with what works best...

Answer 4

I'm 5ft 1, so I know what you mean! A good piece of advice I once got was to buy shoes with pointy toes, rather than round toes, as it creates an effect of your leg being longer and more slim lined. they dont have to be very pointy, but bear that in mind. also, like others have said, vertical stripes create a 'heightening effect'.

Answer 5

wear straight cut jeans and don't roll them up and only tops that stop at your waistband wearing ones that cover up your bum or hips will take off valuable inches. And avoid knee length boots with short skirts the more leg the more 'height'. Hope i helped

Answer 6

oooh me too, i always just wear really short skirts, heels etc and also layers are good eg short tops over long ones and footless tights, but petit is the best height neway no matter what you do!!!

Answer 7

Me too, only 5 ft tall... Stick to one colour top and bottom..blue sweater or shirt with blue jeans.. black top with black pants..etc,
It accentuates our "lack of height" when we wear two different colours.
