Pants Width & Shoes: Fashion Tips for Petite Women

Video Transcript

"Hi, my is Susan Jacobs a Personal Style Image Consultant and I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village to talk about dressing the petite body. In this segment we're going to talk about pants and pants width. Now, my model is wearing a beautiful pair of trouser pants. A trouser pant is a nice slim fitting jean. These are denim, you may not be able to see that but they're a denim jean, they're long and they're slim. These are not the skinny jean but this is a work appropriate pant that you can dress up or down and it's tapered but not skinny. The pointy shoe looks the best, again because anytime your eye follows a vertical line down to a "V" it adds height, so that's what works best with this type of pant. Although many petites don't think that they can wear the skinny pant, you can. The key to wearing the skinny jean or the skinny tapered jean is to wear height, it's absolutely necessary to have a heel that is thin with a pointy front, not a round toe because round adds pounds. So yes you can wear the skinny jeans, but make sure you wear it with height and a little point."
