PETITE HACK FOR WEARING LONG PANTS WITH FLAT SHOES

Over the weekend, I shared an outfit I’ve been loving: pairing looser trousers with sneakers—something I wouldn’t have considered a couple of years ago. While these pants are best suited for heels due to their length, I discovered a little trick that makes them work with sneakers! Check out my IG reel to see the look.

Initially, I bought heel lifts because I have low ankles, which often leads to discomfort with many shoes. An unexpected benefit of these lifts is that they help prevent pant hems from dragging on the ground! I’m currently using heel lifts that are 3.3 cm (1.3 inches) tall, along with the lower AdjustaLifts for a slight boost when I need it to avoid ankle rubbing. I’ve tried several brands, and these two are my favorites because they’re slim and fit well inside my shoes, unlike others that were too wide.

While these lifts won’t solve the issue for pants that are several inches too long, they definitely help, especially when paired with platform sneakers for an extra inch of height. If you missed it, be sure to check out my original shoe hacks post where I featured these!

Also, I wanted to mention that my Everlane cardigan was just restocked for the season in three neutral colors. I got mine over a year ago, and it’s a lovely chunky cotton knit that’s medium to heavy in weight. For a more budget-friendly, non-cotton option, I recently picked up this waffle crop cardigan, which I absolutely love! It’s soft, has a slightly oversized boyfriend style but remains petite-friendly in length, and I adore the waffle texture.

Use Heel Lifts

One effective trick is to invest in heel lifts. These small inserts can add height and help keep your pant hems from dragging. Look for ones that fit comfortably in your shoes—brands that offer a slimmer fit tend to work best.

Opt for Platform Sneakers

Choose sneakers with a slight platform. This extra height will help balance the longer length of your pants while providing additional comfort.

Cuff or Tuck

Consider cuffing the hem of your pants or tucking them slightly into your sneakers. This creates a stylish look while keeping the pants from overwhelming your frame.

Tailor Your Trousers

If your pants are significantly too long and loose, consider getting them tailored. A quick hem can ensure a perfect fit without sacrificing style.

In conclusion, achieving the perfect balance between long pants and sneakers as a petite person is entirely possible with a few clever styling tricks. By incorporating heel lifts for added height, opting for platform sneakers, and considering options like cuffing or tailoring, you can enjoy this trendy look without worrying about the hems dragging. Embrace your style and feel confident in wearing long trousers with sneakers—it’s all about finding what works best for you!

#1 NEUTRAL COLOURS 

While not a clothing item, your skin tone plays a crucial role in choosing colors that enhance your elegance. 

Neutral tones are generally flattering, but it’s essential to identify the colors that complement your skin tone best. 

Darker skin tones often look stunning in gold, yellow, orange, and navy blue, while lighter skin tones may be complemented by baby pink, light blue, and lavender. 

Curate a palette of colors that highlight your natural beauty and elevate your overall look.

#2 SPANX AND BODYSUIT SHAPEWEAR

A well-fitting shapewear piece can significantly elevate your elegance and sophistication. 

By smoothing out your silhouette and minimizing the appearance of folds and creases, shapewear helps you look more polished and put together. 

This is an essential undergarment for achieving a refined and refined appearance.

#3 JUMPSUITS AND SUITS

When aiming for an elegant and classy look, opt for jumpsuits that offer modest coverage.

Avoid overly revealing styles and excessive patterns. Jumpsuits are effortlessly stylish and can add a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe. 

They are a versatile piece that you should consider adding to your collection.

#4 SHORT DRESSES

I’m not referring to overly tight dresses that restrict movement. Instead, I’m talking about well-fitted dresses that flatter your figure without being overly revealing or modest. 

These dresses offer a comfortable and elegant silhouette that can enhance your overall appearance.

#5 LONG DRESSES

It’s unfortunate that long dresses are often seen as reserved for special occasions like weddings and proms. 

However, I believe they deserve a place in everyday wardrobes. 

Whenever I see someone wearing a long dress, I’m instantly captivated by their elegance and sophistication. 

Long dresses have a unique ability to make you feel more feminine, stylish, and extravagant.

Here are six dresses that I find extremely elegant and miraculous in enhancing your beauty. 

1) Sheath Dresses

2) Peplum Dresses

3) Pencil Dresses

4) Ballgown Dresses

5) Mermaid Dresses

6) Tealength Dresses

#6 COATS AND BLAZERS

A well-chosen coat or blazer can elevate your outfit and enhance your overall appearance. 

These pieces can add a finishing touch to your look, pulling everything together harmoniously.

#7  ACCESSORIES & WATCHES

Even small and understated accessories can significantly enhance your look. 

Oversized jewelry isn’t always synonymous with high fashion. 

Simple accessories can have a powerful impact on your overall appearance.

#8  HEELS

Heels not only elongate your legs, making you appear taller and more alert, but they can also add a touch of grace, fashion, and sophistication to your overall look.

#9 MATCHING UNDERGARMENTS

True elegance isn’t just about external appearances; it’s also about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.

 Even seemingly invisible details like your undergarments can significantly impact your self-esteem.

 Investing in a matching set of lingerie can boost your confidence and make you feel amazing, even when you’re at home. The same goes for your nightwear.

#10 LACE AND SILK

Lace is a delicate fabric that can add a touch of femininity and elegance to your wardrobe. It’s a subtle way to attract attention and enhance your overall appearance. 

Silk is another luxurious fabric known for its softness and wrinkle-resistant properties, making it a great choice for elegant attire.

Other Clothing Items That Will Make You Seem Elegant Are:

  • Purses And Handbags
  • Cardigans And Turtlenecks
  • Elegant Trousers And Jeans Without Too Many Cuts And Holes
