For the
#FashionFriend column, stylist and wardrobe consultant allisonbornstein6 is giving out practical and accessible advice that makes it easier to get dressed in the morning. This week, she answers a query from someone who's 5'2" but wants to dress like a model:
Hi ALC,
In my styling sessions, I work with many petite women who are like, “I can’t wear this because I’m too small.” I also meet women who are, like, five-foot-ten and who say, “If this were on a shorter person, it would look great, but on me, it looks off.” Just know that this is a universal concern and that, body type aside, anyone with great style takes the time to think through their looks and analyze proportions.
If you see an outfit photo you like and want to copy it, that’s great! But you should adjust the proportions accordingly.
