2. Heels are not mandatory

Heels are often presented as the saviors of height, but there's really no need to feel uncomfortable or tired about them. Fashion style can also be built with comfortable flat-soled shoes or low heels. If you have confidence, your posture will rise above the inches anyway.

3. Large patterns? Why not!

One of the most persistent rules is that shorter figures should avoid large patterns. However fashion is not a mathematical equationIf you know how to combine patterns with a thoughtful silhouette and appropriate color coordination, even large patterns can look sophisticated and modern.

4. Shorter cuts aren't exclusively for taller people

Cropped jackets, tops and tank tops They are great for creating visual balance. Wearing them with high-waisted pants or skirts can create the effect of longer legs. It's a game of proportions, not hard and fast rules.

5. Horizontal lines are not your enemy

Self-confidence is the most beautiful fashion accessory

The most important “rule” you can follow is listening to yourself. Any combination that makes you feel strong and comfortable is the right choice. What others see as a “fashion mistake” can be your most recognizable feature.

Don't let inches limit you – let them inspire you. Fashion is not a playing field for the tall – it is a stage for those who dare. Height? Negligible. Style? Infinite.

Go out, dress like the queen you are, no matter how tall you are.
