Dressing for Your Body Type

Petite to start, with curvy and tall guides on the way.

Every body is a good body. These guides are just tricks for making clothes work for you instead of the other way around. First up: petite.

Petite: Make Your Legs Go On Forever

• Raise the waist. High-waisted wide-leg trousers start your legs at your waist, so you look taller instantly. Let them graze the floor over a small heel.
• Crop the top. A cropped cardigan hits right at the waistband, so your proportions read as long legs instead of a long torso.
• Point the toe. Pointed-toe flats extend the line of your leg without a high heel.

Bonus tip: wearing one color head to toe (all cream, all black) is the easiest height trick there is.
