A Petite Wardrobe in Winter 2022

In this video we were joined by one of our lovely customers, Nicky. She is 5’1″ & a size 14 with a very casual lifestyle, loves colour, doesn’t wear black & has a classic style. On the face of it (apart from their height) she is the polar opposite of Donna but throughout the afternoon they discovered they would wear a lot of the same items, even if they would style them slightly differently.

As always with our styling videos Donna discussed the rules that can be broken as well as those that can’t be ignored, discussing with Nicky other items that were on the shop floor that they both love but wouldn’t necessarily wear, or would wear slightly differently than a taller person.

The most important of these were:

• The rule of thirds, as a petite woman you should never visually cut your body in half, your clothes must always be a proportion of one  third to two thirds
• If you wear a baggy top you should wear a tight fitting bottom & the converse is true, if you are wearing wide leg trousers then a fitted top will look better
• High waisted trousers are flattering
• Heels make your legs look longer
• Show some flesh, preferably at the wrists, ankles & neckline

As always if there is something that you see that your life is incomplete without I have popped links below the video to our shop. If the item isn’t online at time of publishing it may well be by the time you see this video so have a little look in our shop anyway – if you would rather talk to a human being please give us a call on 01760 724948.
