How Petite Woman Wear Maxis!
Maxi's are once again a summer speciality! Maxi's have been in style each summer for multiple years now and continue to come back! Maxis can be worn anywhere, from a day out shopping, a festival to a beach resort. Maxi's suit most body shapes and sizes especially tall women. However, not all of us are blessed with long legs that make it easy to pull this super stylish summer look off. Maxi's are so handy,mostly for the fact you can dress it up or down. You can wear flip flops, heels or even boots with a maxi, according to the look you want to achieve.
For petite girls, just like myself, it is very difficult to wear any dress longer than your knee without making yourself look even shorter again. Nevertheless, petite women can still wear maxis and look as good as anyone else!
If you are under 5"3 you must follow certain guidelines to wear a maxi dress or skirt in order to avoid making yourself look diminutive. I hope the following steps will help all petite women achieve a maxi chic look effortlessly.
1.Always buy petite.
Why buy a maxi for suited for an average size woman when your not? Always go to the "petite" section of the shop or online site to buy your maxi. If you don't find a maxi you like from this selection or happen to fall in love with a maxi from the regular section you can always get your seamstress to shorten it!

2. Never floor length.
Never have your maxi trailing the floor. Always have it short enough to see your shoes, be it heels or flip flops!
3. No prints or patterns... ever!
Avoid all floral prints or any patterns at all costs. When it comes to maxis, neutral is always best! Go for block colours, lace or cut outs but never print. This doesn't mean you have to look plain and boring though!
Tip: Accessorising is the key. Always add big chunky necklaces, bangles, sunglasses or a hat!
4. Fitted style.
When you are any bit small stay clear of smocky or baggy style clothes especially when it comes to maxis. Always wear your size. A line style or slits are always flattering.
