Of course, almost everything looks good on women with a tall frame but what about those with short height? Many a time, women with short height aren't too happy about it and end up wearing ensembles that highlight their tiny frame.

The same could result in being under confident when actually there is nothing to feel smaller about! You just need to avoid certain fashion blunders that are not so short-height-friendly! We have listed five fashion mistakes you must avoid when you aren't blessed with good height:

Heavy Layers
Selecting outfits that feature a lot of layers or frills is not so ideal for short or petite women. Adding layers with chosen outfits will overshadow your frame and make you appear smaller than you are. If layering is necessary then go for a monochrome look that can add to the height and make you appear taller visually. Avoid contrasting colours for layering as it will cut your petite frame.

Oversized Tops or Too Loose Dresses
Of course, oversized or relaxed-fit outfits are in trend and make a perfect choice when you want to add that understated, lived-in look. But, they don't do much when you aren't blessed with good height. The reason? It occupies or covers your entire body and fails to differentiate between the upper and bottom parts of your body and makes you appear shorter. Instead, choose dresses or tops that are well-fitted and accentuate your best features!

Oversized Bags
Oversize tote bags no doubt make a practical choice especially when you carry the world with you. But, if you are short, carrying the oversized shoulder bag will end up overshadowing your tiny frame. It is better to carry either a small or medium size bag that will accentuate your entire look and body frame. Also, it will make you follow a useful rule of carrying only the necessary objects when heading out. That way you don't have to carry the unnecessary weight of non-usable things!

Say No To Big Patterns
Outfits that feature big and bold prints should be avoided if you are on the shorter side, height-wise. It will cover most parts of your body and make you appear even more compact than you are. Instead, select small or medium size prints for your chosen ensembles and create a taller effect on you. Always ensure to select prints and patterns that are proportional and ideal to your height.

Avoid Bulky Shoes
Wedges are of course a safe choice for feels and are way more comfortable than pencil heels or stilettos. But, they don't make an ideal choice for short women as the wider design or surface of these shoes can make your feet appear flat or wider. But if you prefer wearing wedges, then select a style that includes thin straps or one with a soft, neutral colour which will make you appear taller.
