For Petite:

Fashion finds
1. Silk top, $90, Banana Republic.
2. Leather belt, $315, Suzi Roher.

Style tips:
● Voluminous shapes can overwhelm petite frames. Cinching the waist controls the volume.
● Hemlines should be long or mini—anything between shortens the leg.

Style tips:

● Avoid loud graphic or floral prints and opt for small and playful patterns instead.
