Jennifer Seed asks :

What types of outfits look best on my petite frame with ballet flats, stilettos, platforms and wedges?

Female First replies

Don't worry too much about the shoes you're wearing with your outfits, the most important thing is that you're comfortable.

When you're comfortable in your clothing you'll feel and therefore look much better, rather than wearing clothing or shoes that aren't really fitting within your style.

But there are a few tips I can offer, that will hopefully help you through.

Ballet flats: Wearing flats is obviously the most comfortable option, but again, obviously reveals your small frame. If you're wearing jeans or pants stick to ankle grazer length to give the illusion of longer legs. But of course wearing tights it's not a problem either. Stick to plain colours not to highlight the length of your legs.

Heels: When you're wearing heels, the shorter the hemline the longer your legs will look. But short hemlines aren't always the favourite option for people.

Wedges: A pair of wedges is going to look best with a pair of flared jeans for the ideal seventies vibe. Make sure the hemline comes down and hits the floor with your wedges on, you won't be able to see them and your legs will look uber long.

Hope this advice helps. Don't forget to come back with anymore questions you may have.
