For a long time I avoided flared leg pant styles thinking they wouldn’t work as well on a short person. Boy, was I misguided! I had fallen into the trap that short people should avoid clothing styles that might make them look shorter. Last year I bought a pair of flare leg pants – in a petite size – and my thinking was transformed. I haven’t looked back, in fact I went all in for flared leg and wide leg styles! The turnaround came from trying properly sized (read: petite) pants. This is key, I believe, in pulling off, feeling comfortable, and enjoying wearing clothing that I once thought wouldn’t work for my shorter stature.
