Trousers can be a tricky business for petites. Very tricky. So what are we going to do? Avoid them entirely? Hardly. As with anything, it’s good to know your allies. High waisted trousers flatter and elongate for instant sass. Here’s 3 reasons to go long:
1. A long trouser leg creates the illusion of a longer silhouette and makes you appear taller. Vertiginous legs and new dizzying heights of style!
2. The high trouser also draws attention to the waist. Stop swamping it in material and let it take centre stage. Bare the mid riff for a white-hot look or tuck in a blouse for more understated elegance.
3. If stripes make you look taller and high waistbands make you look taller, what do you get when you put them together? One seriously amazing fashion equation that’s what. Vertical stripes climbing up the length of your frame to give you sky-high attitude.
