This is actually my M.O. in any season, but especially in winter when you're physically bogged down by so many layers. Even if it's only an inch or two, always look for shoes with some height.

The fun thing about being 5’2” is that cropped tops and jackets are usually just the right length for me. While many winter coats can awkwardly cut you off somewhere around your mid-thighs, cropped coats will hit you higher and let your legs look as long as possible.

Funny enough, another great option for petite girls is coats that are on the longer side. If a coat goes to your ankles, it creates one elongating line down your body, rather than chopping you up into two shorter halves—as modeled above by myself and my fellow petite colleague Lauren.

If cropped sweaters are too hard to come by or don’t feel like a good investment for you, simply tuck your knits into whatever bottom you’re wearing with them. Not only does this let you show off your waist, but it makes your legs look longer because your sweater isn’t covering them up.

While, as you can probably gather, I’m a personal fan of all black, this trick works for any shade. Monochrome outfits create the visual of one color from head to toe, making you appear lengthier and lending to an overall more put-together look. In short, the less you break things up the better.
