Short stature is not a disadvantage or a flaw. Petite women often want to appear taller and try to adjust their height through clothing. There are specific items that can help achieve this, according to the Best Life Online website.
Stylist Joe Manktelow-Pimm suggests that whether you're buying jeans, leggings, or trousers, always look for high-waisted options.
High-waisted trousers can visually elongate your legs and create a balanced silhouette. The expert recommends pairing them with a top to enhance the elongating effect.

Jacket
A tailored jacket is a must-have in every petite woman's wardrobe. Look for one without shoulder pads to avoid overwhelming your petite frame.
A well-fitted jacket accentuates your waist and adds structure to your body. You can leave it unbuttoned to create a vertical line down the center of your body.
Fashion and style expert Monica Liang recommends choosing a jacket with vertical stripes to visually elongate your torso.
Midi Dress
Midi dresses are the perfect length to show your footwear and highlight your slender figure.
Choose wrap dresses, which are timeless and elegant, and also flatter and elongate the waist.
Pair your midi dresses with nude shoes that match your skin tone to create the illusion of longer legs.
