Top Accessories' Styles for Short Women

Although clothing plays a crucial role in fashion, accessories are just as important. The right fashion accessory can make a short woman look taller and slimmer while the wrong fashion accessory can have the opposite effect.

Jewelry
Choosing a pendant necklace, rather than a choker, will flatter a petite woman. See top styles of earrings and necklaces for short women.

Shoes
High heels can add inches of height and help short women look taller, but when the heels are too high, they appear to be out of proportion and only call attention to the wearer in a bad way.

Handbags
When selecting a handbag, there are three major factors to keep in mind so that the style of the ​purse will be most flattering for the petite woman. First, choose a shape that's the opposite to the body type. Second, avoid huge handbags because they look out of proportion in size. A medium- to small-sized handbag usually works best for the short woman. Third, don't carry a handbag in a way that will add unflattering bulk to a heavy area of the figure.

Scarf
There are lots of ways to wear a fashion scarf attractively, and short women can help elongate their bodies, making themselves look longer and leaner by wearing a scarf in a way that flatters their petite physique.
