Be Fashionably Petite Just Like Natalie Portman

At 5 feet and 3 inches, Natalie Portman can be considered as a petite woman, and a very beautiful and stylish one at that. She is seen as one of the more talented young actresses of today, not to mention one of the smartest, as she also holds a Harvard degree.

As a petite woman, she is often able to wear outfits that make her appear taller and even more beautiful. In style and fashion, Natalie Portman usually can do whatever she wants and get away with it. If you are petite as well, you might want to copy some of Natalie Portman’s looks and styles.

Petite is often than not misunderstood as being small. The truth of the matter is that petite does not refer to one’s weight, but is actually referring to one’s height. Petite fashions will come in a wide array of sizes from O to plus sized. Women who have a height below 5,4, are said to be petite whether they are slim, average or has a plus sized frame.

Natalie Portman is just of the petite celebrities of Hollywood. She has even modeled a lot of the petite fashions that many designers have created. Today, more and more designers design clothes suited for petite women. When you are petite, you should avoid colors, prints and cuts that are specifically created for taller women. Petite fashion includes shorter arm sleeves and shorter leg pants, higher waists, and narrower shoulders. Print patterns for petite people are usually smaller and they avoid chunky appearances.

When you are buying clothes for a petite woman, you are advised to keep up with simple styles. Do not wear a shirt longer than your mid thigh, and you should avoid colors that have drastic contrasts in trousers and blouses. Do not buy shoes that are flat or shoes that have square toes. What you should keep in mind is a pair of shoes that are comfortable and stylish with gently pointed toes. What you should also avoid in a petite woman’s wardrobe are ribbons and buckles.
