How do you wear a pantsuit when you're petite ?

A must-have in recent years, the pantsuit is a piece that stands the test of time. But how do you wear this new timeless piece and make it your new best friend?

Stop the clichés! I'm sharing three tips that will make you want to get your hands on this must-have as soon as possible. 

A monochrome jumpsuit will always make you look your best, just add a pair of shoes in the same color and you're ready to go. An outfit in a single color lifts the silhouette. Far from compacting you, the jumpsuit will make you look taller. Nothing to be afraid of! 

Still not convinced? But the jumpsuit has many advantages, and can be worn in every style and for every occasion. 

Look inspirations

To prove that the jumpsuit is just the thing, here are a few outfit ideas. We used our Juliette combination which, thanks to its length, could save you a lot of problems with proportions! 

Juliette is paired with a short jacket that's left open. This creates an optical illusion, giving the outfit a "vertical" look and lengthening the silhouette. Choose heels for a feminine touch and to gain a few centimetres.

Casual for strolling 

The combination of white and black works perfectly to contrast and redefine the silhouette. A short white denim jacket on a black silhouette highlights a marked waistline. Don't hesitate to style your hair in a high ponytail to add a few extra centimetres! 

Rock for a night out

Once again, monochrome takes precedence here with a total black outfit . Don 't forget contrasting accessories to complete the outfit.

Elegant for dining out 

A second "black & white" outfit with a short faux fur jacket that adds volume and verticality. We finish with a pair of pumps and matching accessories, a perfect combination of everything we've just seen.

 

Bohemia to unwind 

For this outfit, we're breaking up the silhouette, but in the right way. It's all a question of balance: here, we've added a more oversized piece to the top, and it works because our Juliette jumpsuit has fitted/tapered legs, for an effect that won't pack you in. Similarly, if you choose a wider piece for the bottom, opt for a close-fitting top.

 

We hope we've opened your eyes to the misconception that jumpsuits aren't suitable for petite women! Remember, the most important thing is to wear clothes you like and feel good in.
