Six must-buys for petites

Above-the-knee skirt to show your legs off
Alice + Olivia High Waisted Pleat Skirt

Fitted sweater for a slimline silhouette
Lily McNeal Long V-Neck Sweater

Kitten-heel boots to wear with pants (you probably won’t need these again until Fall) – great for visually lengthening legs

Tailored bootleg trousers
Seven Jeans High Waisted Jackie Trouser Pant

Knee-length coat for a neat, pulled-together look

Flapper dress to wear with strappy heels

Celeb style tip: For black-tie events Natalie Portman wears Zac Posen’s ’40s silhouettes with killer heels for an added 3in boost. Natalie favours dresses for their one-colour streamlining effect and casualwear has a preppie twist with slim-fit knits and bootcut jeans. Jewellery and handbags are kept discreet and minimal, as oversized pieces can be overpowering.

    I LOVE these picks. So classy! Do you have any suggestions for choosing eye glasses for petite faces? Where is that dress from? It is timeless!
