petite fashion scene

Well, it’s hot enough to feel like summer already, at least where I live, so that means Swimsuit Season is upon us. Even though swimsuits are barely-there items of clothing, petite women can choose swimwear that makes us look taller.

Although I love boy shorts because they’re perfect for hiding not-so-perfect hips and thighs, they’re not the most flattering bathing suit bottom for us. The tried-and-true high cut bottom really is best. Also, the top you pick is important if you want to elongate your frame.

I like the halter top because the V-neck is automatically your friend; plus, if you don’t have a whole lot on top, halters can create the illusion of a fuller bust more than a bandeau top or a triangle.

One piece suits also work, but make sure you choose one with minimal print or vertical stripes. A suit with one solid stripe straight up the middle would work great.

Time to choose your new suits for the season, ladies. What’ll it be for you?
