Short people?

My mom has the same problem. She usually shops at the “petite” sections in the malls, like at Express, The Limited, Banana Republic. They usually have, if you look, petite or with their pants it’ll say something like “0 short, 2 short”. If anything you can always go out and get your clothes tailored. :D

Tailoring can get expensive, though.
I usually try to buy ankle length jeans. They scrunch up a little for me but look like regular length jeans on everyone else. Another problem I have (I’m 5’1”) is the length of straps on tank tops and dresses – these are easy to fix. I know nothing about sewing but taking in a couple inches is easy peasy.
Also, some brands are cut smaller than others. Revolve has great information on brand sizing.

I’m 5 flat. The clothes are out there, you just have to look. As for pants, looking for “normal” capri/highwater length will probably do the trick.

im about 5’1 ish too.. and i wear skinny jeans a lot.. i like to wear jeans that fit perfectly.. you can also wear nice dresses and skirts..

I’m short too (5’0) and the petite section of asos.com has been a godsend for me.
I don’t really follow the rules of fashion (like what experts say suits petite figures etc.). I generally choose to buy regular size long-ish tops and wear them as mini dresses or go oversized.

I’m assuming you’re done growing and will be this tall for life, being a short girl I must tell you – LEARN TO HEM! Seriously, learn to do a good blind hem and it’s a life saver!

I’m 4’9! The Children’s section can actually be a God send, it’s worth a look for pants. I get a lot of my stuff tailored. You should check out the Olsen twins style, they are tiny but always look fantastic and really mature.

lmao i love the junior’s section, cheaper too.
i do suggest gap.

I’m short! I dont know that I would go to the children’s section if you’re trying to look older- there are clothes that are fairly generic (jeans, pants, plain tees) that you can wear from there- but for the most part I’d stay away. A lot of brands carry petite sizes (which are still too tall for me usually T_T) but even so, they’ll fit better.
And definitely…hem… hemming jeans isn’t that expensive.
and think of it as a blessing! I have things that are supposed to be tops but are seriously knee length dresses on me so it’s fun!

I know of short people who shop in children sections, petite sections, or buy their desired outfits in any store section and they just go and get the hemmed and tailored.

i’m only about 5 foot too, and i have the same problem. I find that high-waisted skirts and such work wonders for me, straight jeans look good and obviously hiiiiiiiggghh heels!
I do enjoy it though, cos it is good when you can wear tops as dresses :)
