How to Style Your Cute Petite Clothes into Cute Petite Outfits

23rd Aug 2019

They say the clothes make the woman, and any woman who knows the secrets to styling a perfect outfit can make herself into anything she wants to be. Think of all the fashion magazines and tv ads where you can tell from a glance what sort of person the models and actresses are supposed to be. It’s all thanks to the magic of the wardrobe department on set. And it’s not just for the super tall supermodels – petite ladies can work the same magic to turn all their cute petite clothes into amazing petite outfits. Once you learn the tricks of the trade, you can harness that power for yourself to create bold, friendly, playful, or flirty looks with ease!

If you’re ready to feel confident and beautiful no matter where you’re going then let’s dive into the tips and tricks that’ll make you a queen of fashion.

The first step is obvious: if you want cute petite looks then you’ll need cute petite clothes. But let’s look a little closer at what makes a good wardrobe. Now, a great outfit is made up of many parts, and you can mix and match your tops, bottoms, and accessories to create a huge range of different looks if you know what you’re doing, but you need a solid base to start with.

First, make sure you have the basics. Neutral and colorful tanks, dark and light jeans, fitted plain tees, and a couple of jackets of different fabrics and cuts are all essential building blocks for your wardrobe. You should also try to have a variety of different shapes – it’s easier to do this by adding a few different styles of dresses and skirts into your collection. If you’re one of those ladies who prefers pants at all times, you can vary your shapes with different pant cuts. Get a mix of high and low waisted pants in flare cuts and skinny styles, and embrace leggings! A tunic top over dark leggings adds just as much shape variety as a summer dress, without baring your legs.

After you have the basics, you can start to add in what I like to call statement pieces. Every outfit needs one piece that really steals the show – a lovely print blouse, a gorgeous pair of shoes, or a fun and energetic necklace. These are the pieces you’ll really express yourself and your mood with. You probably have a few favorites in your closet already. But don’t be afraid to branch out a little, too!

Then go to Four Seasons Direct and use their easy search categories to pinpoint that beautiful jean jacket or flowing A-line skirt your wardrobe needs.

Now it’s time to make your outfit! Just like a good chef can make anything out of a well-stocked kitchen, you’ll be surprised how many looks you can get out of a well-stocked wardrobe! Remember those statement pieces? If the basics are the building blocks of your wardrobe, then the statement pieces are the center of every outfit. Choose your eye-catching statement piece first, and work out from there. What you should use for your statement piece varies a little depending on the context – if it’s a formal business party, for example, a lot of women like to make their necklace or shoes the statement piece and pair it with a nice classic black dress. No matter where you decide to put the focus, though, make sure your statement piece matches the image you want to present. Going for a cute and playful look for a low key date? A fun and flirty high-waisted skirt with a bright print makes a perfect statement piece!

The rest of your outfit should complement the statement piece or recede from focus to keep the outfit from getting too busy. If you’re wearing that bright flirty skirt, let its shape take the lead and pair it with a plain tee in either a softer shade of the same color or a neutral black or white. Then layer it with a casual jean jacket to tie into that looseness, and pick out some neutral or nude heels to shape your legs without distracting from the skirt. Mix in a couple of simple accessories, and you’re ready to hit the town!

You can use this method to create any look, so don’t be afraid to play around with statement pieces and find a few new favorites at Four Seasons Direct.
