There isn't a single girl who doesn't want to be stylish, but, unfortunately, not all fashion trends go well with all types of heights and figures.
每个女孩都想把自己打扮得时髦入时,不过,可不是所有的时尚潮流都适合各种身高和身材的女生。
That's why when one woman wears fashionable clothes like they were made for her, another lady may find herself literally 'shortened' by them.
因此有时候我们看,同样一件时装,有些女孩子穿上之后,就好像是为她量身制作的一样,而另外一个女生穿,视觉上可能就会显矮。
1.Pick the 'right' shoes and accessories
1.正确选择鞋子和配饰
The easiest way to become taller is with high heels.
高跟鞋是最直观的变高利器。
The color of your shoes is also of great importance: any neutral-colored footwear will make your legs seem longer, while black shoes, especially those with high lacing, will make your legs look shorter instead.
但鞋子颜色的选择也十分重要:浅色的鞋子会让你的腿看起来更长,不过深色的鞋子,尤其是鞋带比较高的一类,会显得小腿很短。
In our example, you can also see that you shouldn't wear accessories that 'cut' your image in a horizontal line, like the now-trendy choker which makes your neck look thicker and your whole body a little stocky.
从我们给出的图片中可以看到,应该避开一些在水平线上打断你颈部线条的饰品,比如现在很流行的“choker”,它会让你的脖子显得很厚,整个人看起来就有些健壮。
2.Be careful with striped prints
2.千万小心条纹衫
From this example, you can see that you shouldn't wear the currently fashionable striped clothes without careful thought.
从图片中可以看到,对于时下十分流行的条纹衫,你真的应该谨慎选择。
Horizontal stripes add volume, while the incorrect combination of this print and a knee-length skirt will make you look about an inch shorter.
横条纹显胖已经不是什么秘密了,再加上一件及膝的条纹裙,立刻让你变矮一英寸。
A striped top with a monotone midi-skirt, on the contrary, will 'lengthen' your shape.
而条纹上衣搭配半长裙则会有拉长身高比例的效果。
3.Choose jeans and bags according to your height
3.根据身高正确选择牛仔裤和包包
If you are of a smaller height and wear shortened jeans, they can make you even smaller.
如果本身个子不高,短牛仔裤会让你显得更娇小。
Combine such jeans with high-heeled shoes and a crop top. High-waist jeans may also help you adjust your height and look taller.
不过你可以搭配一双高跟鞋和一件露脐装。高腰牛仔裤可以调整身材比例,让你看起来更高挑一些。
Pay special attention to the size of your bag. The best choice for petite ladies is a small bag of no more than ten inches in width.
一定要注意包包的大小。身材娇小的妹子最好选择宽度不超过10英尺的小包。
A fashionable shopper bag will make your image heavier.
一款时髦的购物手包会让整个人的造型显得比较沉闷。
4.不妨试试阔腿裤吧
Palazzo pants are a great way to conceal high heels or platform shoes while still making your legs much longer and making you look taller.
不管是高跟鞋还是厚底鞋,都能被阔腿裤的大裤脚遮得严严实实,这样不仅显腿长,还能让你看起来更高一些。
A shortened top with high-waist pants is a combination that has been fashionable for many seasons. This trick will maintain your upper and lower body proportions and make your legs look longer.
不管哪个季节,短上衣搭配高腰裤都很是流行。这个小心机会调整你的上下比例,让双腿看起来更加修长。
If you've chosen a sweater or a blouse, you could wear a thin belt or, like in our example, tuck it into the pants.
如果已经选择了毛线衣或者衬衫,建议搭一根细腰带,或者像图中一样,把衣服扎进去。
5.Don't disregard pencil skirts
5.别忘了铅笔裙
Pencil skirts should be noted in particular: they make you look much slimmer and taller.
这里我们着重提一下铅笔裙:这种裙子会让人显得更瘦更高。
If you don't have a short top, a white T-shirt or blouse will help you, so always have one at hand.
如果没有短上衣,你可以选择一件白T恤或者白衬衫,所以这两样随时都要备一件。
In our case, it should be tucked inside the skirt, which will make you look significantly slimmer.
在这种情况下,衬衫要扎到铅笔裙里面去,这样看起来你真的会显瘦很多。
6.Wear shirtdresses correctly
6.正确穿搭衬衫裙
A shirtdress has an interesting design and goes well with almost any kind of figure.
衬衫裙实在是一件很有趣的设计,因为它适合任何身材的妹子。
However, petite girls may find it looks awkward on them, as though it was made for a person of greater height.
不过,身材娇小的姑娘们会发现,她们穿上衬衫裙好像略显尴尬,就好像身上这件衣服是为比自己个子高的人设计的。
It also can give you some excess volume in the waist. This is easily adjusted, though: just apply a belt and roll up your sleeves.
很多衬衫裙在腰部也比较宽松,不过这也很好调整,搭配上一根腰带,再把袖子卷起来即可。
The perfect sleeve length for petite girls is 3/4.
对于身材娇小的妹子来说,袖口位置最好在整个手臂的四分之三处。
