Styling yourself as a petite woman takes knowledge of the body and proportions/shape. It can be quite difficult to imagine what a piece of clothing might look or fit like on your body, especially when you have a curvier body type. Many clothes on the market are made with average proportions in mind. If you are a petite woman who is also curvy, clothing options can be minimal and challenging to find altogether. Don’t worry yet! You don’t have to settle for the few boring options out there. If you are someone who wants to up their styling game or wants to learn the best tips and tricks for dressing as a curvy petite woman, then these tips are for you. 

Fit and Flare 

This is the ultimate silhouette to master for a petite curvy girl. 

If you are going to wear a dress or even a fitted top and pants, make sure that the waist is fitted and gives that hourglass shape effect to the torso. We want to give the illusion of a separation that will elongate us as petite women as well. With curvy women, especially, this can get easily hidden by our curves, and rather than let it overwhelm us, we want to accentuate that part of ourselves.

Level Up this silhouette with a peplum top, which helps stay away from the boxy look.

Wide-leg pants that have a wide cut elongate the leg and improve the balanced shape of the curvy body type. Another great way to level up this style can even be a straight-cut pair of pants paired with a high-rise waist that still creates a synched waist and elongated leg. 

Wearing patterns

Curvy women are typically told to avoid patterns in order not to look too crowded or accentuate areas that may look more unflattering than others. For curvy petite girls who want to participate in the latest Y2K and animal print trends, you don’t have to worry; there are many ways to still wear animal print and suit your body type in a stylish way.

One way can be using accessories, such as a belt or bag, to incorporate a print. This can also help accentuate the waist and break up the body. 

Color blocking might be another simple way to use a patterned bottom with a plain top and keep it light on the top half.
