Fashion advice?? i'm 5'0 and thin..?

Question

i'm in a crisis.
i have realized that nothing looks right on me.
i usually wear my 00 skinny jeans, and they fit me baggy.
would it be grotesque to tighten them, or would it make myself appear taller?


does anyone have any advice on what i might be able to wear that would compliment my height and weight?

i realized that bright colors make me look like a kid, and heels are okay sometimes, but wearing them all the time can be a drag.

i tried to google celebrities, only to find mary-kate and ashley olsen are the only ones that closely resemble my body type, and the last thing i want to do is dress like them..!

HELP anyone?

i wouldnt wear skinny jeans...try to add some curves to your tiny body
wide leg jeans would be too overpowering for your body..so i would suggest a bood cut jean in a dark wash

ok..its kind of hard to explain the top im thinking of...so im gonna make u an outfit and then tell u about it

so basically what i did with the top is its a loose chiffon top..and i added a skinny leather belt and you would cinch the belt like above ur bellybutton and then let the top sort of flow over u..this will create curves

flats and i big tote are great fot day..while striking heels and a clutch are perfect to transition for night

also the jeans are my personal fav---true religion bootcut in dark..

Your Best Pieces

Time and again you've had the same problem: you find the perfect piece of clothing, but it was built for a 6-foot Amazon model. Ripples of fabric pool on the floor when you try on pants, skirts never hit your leg at quite the right place, and you have to continually fold up the arms of sweaters so you can see your hands. The obvious solution: start shopping in the petite section. All major department stores have sections full of clothes specifically designed to fit your proportions. At the very least, pick up a few petite-sized basics there: black pants, a tailored jacket, a coat that won't swallow you whole.

Overall, your shopping strategy is to look for pieces that elongate your whole frame. Monochromatic tones can help here: rather than breaking up your body into small pieces (short-waisted torso, short legs), a head-to-toe look in shades of dark brown or camel makes you look longer and leaner.

Can't Miss Pieces:

Long pants with heels: You should have one pair of perfectly fitted pants with a hem that almost touches the ground when you wear heels. That way, no one can tell where your legs end and your shoes begin - creating the illusion that you've got fabulous long legs.

Calf-length skirt and high boots: Works on the same principle as the long pants. If the skirt and boot are the same color (black, brown, whatever), your lower body will appear taller.

Vertical lines: You want the eye to be drawn upward when someone looks at you. So choose tops that have a vertical element. Subtle stripes, a zip-front jacket, even a long silk scarf that hangs along a jacket's lapels create this effect.

A shorter coat: Stumble around in a long overcoat, and you'll look completely out of proportion. Instead, try a coat that hits just below the hips. It'll show your legs and make you look more balanced.

Unflattering "Don'ts"
Skip It:

Big prints: The bigger the pattern, the smaller you'll look in comparison. Go for smaller graphics, and wear prints on top rather than on pants and skirts to draw the eye upward.

Horizontal details: Avoid anything that draws attention to the hem of your clothes (cuffs on pants, skirts that end with a ruffle). The effect is choppy, which makes you look smaller.

Sky-high heels: You might think they make you look taller, but super-high heels on short legs look disproportionate. Don't go higher than three inches.

Big sweaters: A loose top in a thick knit can swallow you up. Instead, go for more fitted shapes - in petite sizes, please!

Ankle-length skirts: A If you want to wear a longer skirt, make sure you still reveal a few inches of leg at the bottom (or cover up with a high boot in a matching color).

Double-breasted coats: They'll turn your upper half into one bulky, squat square. Not exactly flattering.


Sorry it's so long! I Copied and Pasted.

Answer 3

Well, if you wear leggings, they will emphasize your legs, which makes you look taller. And you can pair that with a neutral colored mini dress. And because you hate heels so much, you could use platform flip flops, so you get the height AND the comfort.

Answer 5

oh wow. im just like you. I wear jeans that fit me at the waist
(get the kind where you can change the setting) and flare out a little. But to make myslef look taller I wear jeans that are straight legged. I wear really nice pastels like light blue and light purple and stuff and they actually make you look a little fuller, like not as skinny as i am. And I don't wear heels. I wear ballet flats because they are comfortable and cute. The shirts i wear are mostly babydoll because i don't look bone thin(like i am) and they are cute or i wear tight fitting t shirts or v neck shirts with cute tanktops. But stick to pastels. Pastels are my best friend and they will be yours too. :)


P.S I wouldn't dress like them either.

P.S.S I would get lighter washed jeans too like faded blue and stuff.
