23 Outfit Ideas For Petite Women With a Tall Order For Style

You have no idea how many times I've stared at Kendall Jenner's legs in a Summer miniskirt (on Instagram, obviously) and prayed for the gods to stretch me a few inches while I'm sleeping at night. I've struggled with finding denim cutoffs I actually feel comfortable in, and, at 5'1", I have to get most of my breezy maxi dresses tailored before I wear them, so there's no immediate sense of gratification when I take them out of the box.

That said, over the years, I've learned to love my petite frame. Rather than pining for the vacation outfits that look great on my supertall BFF, I've followed bloggers and influencers who are about my height and have a great sense of style. I've collected some awesome pieces that actually may not work for women with longer torsos or mile-long legs (crop tops bare just enough skin, rather than too much), and I've even experimented with going braless, since I personally have a flat chest.

It turns out, in the Summer, there are so many trends - current trends, mind you! - I can rock because I'm small. (Sup, biker shorts?) If you fall into my camp, and you're trying to find ways to flatter your body type this season, I gathered a few tricks I think you'll love. Read on to learn from the best.

People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
