Hello, stylish petite women out there!
Did you know a poncho is a must-have winter wear for ladies, and it can add spark to your fashion statement?
Well, ponchos have nothing to do with your height. All you need is to know how to choose and wear ponchos for your petite frame.
And, in this blog, we are going to share 7 tips to wear a poncho when you are short, all while staying warm and stylish in winter.
But before that, we want to say that fashion is all about self-expression. So, do not be afraid to try new things!
Remember, you are beautiful the way you are.
How to Wear a Poncho When You Are Short?
Length, shape, and proportion are three key deciding factors when choosing the right poncho for short women. Get them all right for your body type, and you have rocked it. Get only one wrong, and you may end up looking ridiculous. This is true to clothes for men and women considering ponchos.
So, let us begin with these important factors when selecting a poncho:
- Poncho Length
Short women should choose shorter ponchos to give a feel that they have longer legs. If you choose a long poncho, it may compact your figure and make you look even shorter than you are. Ideally, your ponchos should hit below the crotch or the top of your upper thigh.
- Poncho Shape
Ponchos should fit snugly – like an oversized sweater or windbreaker jacket mens – without being overly bulky or loose. You can shop diagonal-cut styles because these ponchos show off more legs on one side and give it some shape.
If you want to wear a rectangular poncho with leggings, rotate it so that the longer triangular part covers your crotch and buttocks. Or, turn it asymmetrically to make it look even shorter. If you want to give the illusion of more shape, then have your poncho hit at your hip’s widest part.
- Poncho Proportion
There is no “one size fits all” poncho. You have to keep trying until you find a poncho that sits nicely on your frame. Ideally, choose a softer and less bulky fabric to flatter your curves without adding visual weight to your body.
- Choose V-Neck Ponchos
Ponchos with V-necks are highly recommended because they draw the eye vertically and add visual length to your upper body, making you look visually taller. Additionally, boat necks and scoop necks may also make you look taller.
- Combine Your Poncho with a Belt
As we have mentioned above, your poncho should not look bulky. Combining your poncho with a belt is a wonderful way to create a shape and keep your clothing from looking bulky.
- Wear it With a Fitted Bottom.
Maybe a legging, skinny jeans, straight-leg jeans or high-waisted pants! A fitted bottom will help balance the volume added by the poncho. So, you will not end up looking like a small fluffy teddy.
- Add Height with Heels
Wearing heels or wedges will add inches to your height and naturally improve your body posture. So, you look more confident and stylish in your poncho.
