Good things definitely come in small packages! Just like the perks that come along with being a petite princess in this oh-so big world! Standing tall at a height of five feet one, I can’t really not complain about certain things like reaching for cereal on the top shelf or skimming through a tall crowd to catch a glimpse of my favourite artist performing live! These are short girl problems but honey, because of our tiny stature, we can totally rock any outfit and look perpetually young (now isn’t that a blessing!)
Shopping can be a little overwhelming, given our five feet and under frame, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, we love our tiny bods but adding a few inches here and there or looking seemingly taller does not hurt either! Here are a few celebrity approved, easy and simple fashion hacks for the vertically challenged girl that we absolutely must abide by!
Must Read : Styling Tips If You Have A Short Height
1. Embrace The Plunging Neckline
Ladies, a deep V-neck can do wonders to that beautiful neck of yours! A plunging neckline elongates your torso and makes you look slimmer and appear taller. However, do not go overboard with this trend at work or formal meetings. Take a cue from the lovely Nicole Richie who is well known for her immaculate sense of style. She’s only five feet one but surely knows how to rock that tiny body!
POPxo Recommends: Make heads turn in this stunning floral V-Neck Maxi Dress (Rs. 3,899) by Ax Paris. It’s perfect for a lunch date and evening drinks with your friends.
2. High-Waist Bottoms
High-waisted bottoms are very chic and elegant. They give an illusion of height and enhance the length of your otherwise tiny legs. Opt for high-waisted trousers, denims or skirts and pair it with a crop top just like the petite four foot eleven Kourtney Kardashian, and you’re ready to roll!

3. The Monochrome Tantrum
Never underestimate the power of an overall tonal look! Dressing in one tone from head to toe is a petite girl’s blessing in disguise. A monochromatic ensemble elongates your body, gives an illusion of height and a refined silhouette. Think Anna Sophia Robb and power dressing!
