The petite girl’s dressing guide according to Girls’ Generation Sunny

As they sit higher on the body, high-waisted pants help the legs appear longer than they really are. Couple it with a crop top to fully reap the lengthening illusion.

Besides having a fun, eye-catching print, the vertical stripe pattern on this pair of Andersson Bell pants also serves to trick the eye into believing that the legs appear longer and leaner.

Notice how Sunny’s jeans aren’t particularly high-waisted. Yet, it helps the petite lady appear taller as the form-fitting nature creates a long, seamless visual line. Besides long pants, you can employ the same technique with an ankle-length maxi dress too.

Made with organic cotton, this little black dress has a timeless silhouette that can be worn for many occasions. For weekends, pair it with a rattan bag and wedges.

By wearing a mini skirt, it exposes more of your legs which in turn aids to create a long visual line that elongates the stature. If a skirt feels too insecure for you, a pair of shorts will work the same too.

This A-line skirt is made with Tencel Lyocell, a material crafted from renewable wood sources. The sleek silhouette also makes it an easy pairing with a tank top and block heels for a casual day out.

Sporting an outfit in a single colour not only ensures that you look polished and put together but also helps you appear taller too. The principle works the same as the other points – it fakes the appearance of a taller silhouette.

A quick way to dress monochromatically is to spot a one-piece outfit like a dress or jumpsuit made in a single colour, such as this breathable linen design. This is also available in green.

When in doubt, throw on a pair of heels to give your height a boost. If you’re showing off your legs, a nude pair that blends with your skin tone and colour will be best. But if you’re wearing bottoms that stop at the ankles, a pair that’s the same colour would be preferred.

Nude heels should be a staple in your wardrobe, especially when it comes with a slightly sculptural heel design and braided slingbacks.
