Petite Womens Clothing: Suits, Dresses, Plus Size

Petite jeans or jean shorts

2009-04-17T21:43:00.005-04:00

Good news petites! Finding the perfect pair of jeans or jean shorts just got easier for the summer. The trend for the summer of 09’ is ripped denim; so cut the length of those long jeans. You can even cut a slit in the knee or thigh, and when you wash them, let the fringed edge hang. Enjoy the trend while it lasts!

Look your best

2008-11-30T19:08:00.001-05:00

When we get dressed we all want to look our best, so here is some flattering advise. If you have a larger bottom, wearing jeans with big back pockets will make your back side look smaller.

If you have skinny, stick legs, stay away from fitted legged pants and leggings and wear straight legged or boot cut pants.

If you do not have tight abs or a flat tummy, stay away from low rise shorts or pants. They will push any extra skin up, especially when sitting, and give you what is called a "muffin top". If you have made this mistake, cover it up with a loose fitting top around the waist. For these tummies I recommend wearing pants that lay at your waist. I know it's difficult to find sometimes but they are out there. Happy shopping ladies!

For fall and winter trend of 2008-2009 color is the key! The feature colors are purple and red and all of their variations. Jewel tones, bold brights - orange, coral, pink, red, emerald green, amethyst purple and Peridot green are the key trend colors to wear this Autumn. Who would have thought the Red Hat Ladies were stylin' ? I'm not sure if you want to wear those colors together but if you need a new festive top or some accessory jewelry, purse, or shoes to update your wardrobe go with bold bright colors.

If you still love your black go with black on black texture and add a little something that shines. You can wear a matte black with a shiny or velvety black.

Ankle boots are all the rage this season. Wear them with skirts , pants, or jeans.

Fall and Winter Trends of 2007

2007-09-25T22:37:00.000-04:00

Colors
Are you tired of wearing pink? The new fall fashion colors this season are grey, black, white, charcoal, earthen brown, ochre and rust tones, red, burgundy, purple, plum, deep blue, and khaki olive.

Leg Wear
Do you remember those leg warmers from the 80's? Well, they are back. I highly recommend that us petite women do not participate in this trend since our legs are already shorter than the average. We don't need something else making our legs look even shorter. Leggings, knee socks, opaque colored or textured tights are also in style. If you choose to wear nude colored pantyhose make them super sheer or better yet super sheer with some shine. Wearing the leggings, opaque colored or textured tights gives you more use of your mini skirts in the colder weather.

Layering
There are so many tops that are super low cut and some of you women have to wear a tank top underneath so you don't expose too much. To those women, you are in luck because layering tops is also the trend. Wearing a sheer top over an opaque top is particularly in style.

Shopping Tips for Discount Petite Clothing

2007-09-15T22:21:00.000-04:00

I came across this great article from smartmoney.com that gives advice of when retail prices are at it's best. When shopping in Department stores they recommend shopping on Saturday evenings. The Department stores are getting ready for their weekly sales in the Sunday circular and often start their sales on Saturday. If it is not a marked sale item that day stores will usually honor the sale price if you ask them to. For other clothing stores, Thursday evening is the night to shop. The stores are getting ready for their weekend promotional sales and usually start discounted prices on Thursday evening. The shelves would be stocked and have the most selection before the weekend rush.
