A women’s wardrobe is a selection of trends and styles. Universal wardrobe or clothing pieces are the foundation for every outfit. Sweaters come in various styles, colors and shapes and are a basic piece in every wardrobe. Sweaters, as do most clothes, fit in a universal average womanly fit. Petite women will find the fit of average or universal womanly fits too big. The arms and torso will be too long and the shoulders too broad. Choosing a sweater to properly fit and flatter a petite woman’s figure can be better selected by considering this guideline when you are shopping for your next sweater.
▪ Step 1: Choose a sweat style. A casual sweater will look have a much different fit than a professional style sweater. Choose a sweater to flatter your neckline avoiding ones that make you look broader in the shoulders. Choose a neckline that isn’t big and bulky to avoid your look being overwhelmed by the sweater. Buy your sweaters in the petites department because they will fit much better than a regular size sweater, which will be too long.
▪ Step 2: Choose a non-bulky material. Thick sweaters can give the illusion that you are larger underneath than you really are. Choose lighter and thinner sweater materials with seem detailing, such as bust or waist emphasize, to flatter your petite figure. Selecting fabrics for comfort to avoid skin irritation such as cotton, silk or cashmere.
▪ Step 3: Wear fitted undergarments beneath sweaters. Choose a well fitted undergarment shaping and tucking your figure to give the illusion of a smooth silhouette beneath your clothes. Sweaters will fall nicely around your figure as it was meant to.
▪ Step 4: Shop at a specialty petite clothing store or department. The best place to find true petite fitted sweaters is at a specialty shop or a large store with a department designated to your figure.
Being a petite woman restricts your clothing options. By shopping at petite clothing stores or departments and choosing fabrics and styles over form-fitting undergarments you will flatter your petite figure complimenting your personality.
