Are you petite Helpful tips for choosing the perfect pants for you

Did you decorate? We are just the balcony for the first time! This year has caught us even more festive. Still nothing inside… Waiting for December, still in the Halloween mood! From shopping, I made my first purchases of knitwear of all kinds. Skirts, jackets and dresses. Getting ready to see what I missed and how to dress comfortably for the office. We don’t have a dress code, so I can wear my sweaters with a blazer and jeans or long skirts with sweaters in the winter which I love. I now use sleeveless or strapless summer dresses with a jacket as skirts. As you know, I haven’t downloaded winter and summer clothes (except T-shirts and knitwear) for years because I use them a lot between seasons. Layering! magic word.

Let’s move on to your questions…

Good afternoon, Pelagia, I want to ask you a question about my pants. I’m the shortest of the group and the truth is I’ve always had a “problem” with my height. I’m 1.57, and yes, I’m quite short. Besides the expected high heels, how can I wear my pants to look taller? What style should I wear and I want to know if there is a trick like eye trick to make me look taller… I’m sure there will always be some great advice!!

Dear friend, upon seeing your question, I searched online for things I knew and saw some news I wasn’t aware of. I want to say here, that body type and height are very important for a woman’s clothing. Most of them belong to the body type category and this requires research and experimentation. So I also saw some of your body type characteristics because the thing you mentioned is a whole category called petite. Fortunately, many of the larger online stores now carry their clothes in smaller sizes, so there are better chances for girls to wear the clothes. Of course, you can also wear well-known chains, paying attention to the following:

Length: The best pant length for petite women is narrow to just above the ankle (to look good). This is the perfect option but you can’t just get narrowed.

Next is the bell that ends in the middle of your heel, or if you wear flats just before the sole, so that the shoe can be seen. The bell should not be massive and should fit on the buttocks and gradually open below the knee.

Cigarette pants, the classic straight-line pant that ends just above the ankle.

Finally, long, narrow pants that cover the boot and often have an opening at the bottom.

crotch: I had to mention it first because it is just as important as the length. Let’s say you are petite, what does that mean? close where we say? It’s not that simple, because we all have an analogy in our bodies. I have a very long torso for my 1.68 which is why I always wear a medium or high rise jeans, except for the baggy jeans I have. The super high is not for me because you will only see jeans and not a person. What I mean by this is that the torso and legs play an important role. Brit girls will have legs that are shorter than the torso, so a low rise is not appropriate. The best option is medium height in all of the above lengths.

Pelagia Sos. I’ve eaten the world and I can’t find a pair of ballet flats that flatter my calves because they’re kinda plump and always look shorter than me or a little more puffy. Should I look for an alternative? Marie

Dear Maria, I don’t want to disappoint you but ballet flats don’t help the calf. They also require care, as they may tire you out or exacerbate a predisposition to bunion due to a lack of support in the foot, because the foot is not well supported.

Hello, Pelagia! It’s slowly getting colder, and at this point it’s hard to wear skirts and dresses without tights. So I’m writing to see if you have a solution to winter’s eternal problem: ripped socks. Regardless of quality and cost, whatever thin pantyhose I buy never last me more than 5-6 wears. Now I take it for granted that whatever socks I get are going to break which discourages me from buying a quality product because I think it would be a waste of money. Please tell me you have a trick in mind, you will save me!!

Dear friend, I addressed the man who recycles socks because he is taking them apart. I’m such a big asshole that yesterday I managed to grab a ring in my long socks out of nowhere. It has happened countless times that I have ripped it while wearing it. In general, a disaster. But I found the solution. It is not an advertisement. Well, Bic has a 40D of the Vivant series in the supermarkets for 3 euros. They do not have compression shorts and are perfect for every day. It is non-sticky with elastic that sticks to the skin, it is very comfortable and does not irritate. I usually get an M but also an L if I wear it on my period days. I usually buy 4, and as long as they last, they generally stay in my hand (just imagine!). I no longer pay 11 euros for pantyhose because I am who I am and I rip them off.

Until next Tuesday, kisses!
