Reese Witherspoon style is preppy and colorful. She has a wardrobe full of colorful prints and she knows how to wear them, either individually or mixed with other pieces, to create the best outfit. Her street style outfits are so bright, they’ll put a smile on your face. So it’s no surprise that the star refuses to sell any bit of black on her lifestyle site, Draper James.
“People wear black to funerals. I didn’t wear black at all when I was young and was only allowed to buy my first pair of black pants when I was 15. . . . We don’t do black. Our black is navy,” Reese told Washington Square Journal.
From the perspective of a short girl, we totally agree with Reese’s picks of colorful prints. Besides looking less vibrant than prints, black has the shrinking effect. Girls about Reese Witherspoon height want to make use of every inch of your height and not the opposite.
So, if you are as petite as Reese, what’s the key to copy the star’s sweet Southern-girl look?
“We emphasize coordination of different pieces for a pulled together look. Matching items, like matching your shoes to your handbag, is not a bad thing in the South. It’s a return to pretty clothes. We also do a lot with bright colors and patterns.”
Reese has maintained her fashion mantra through her own wardrobe, nixing boring old black for vibrant pumps and contrasting her loud florals with a trusty midnight blue, or playing up her darker tones with hot pink accessories.
One glance through her looks, and you’ll have every reason to dress in color. But, for girls about Reese Witherspoon height, how can you avoid looking swamped by the colors and prints? Here is our summary of the top tricks from Reese Witherspoon’s style for petite women:
- Anything that goes vertical (up and down) will help to make you look taller. So, look for vertically designed, smaller scaled graphics instead of oversized or exploded prints.
2. If you wear prints on the top, you’ll draw the eye upward- a must learn trick for short girls of Reese Witherspoon height! This works especially well, if you are a petite woman of pear shape who want to draw attention away from your hips and thigh area.
3. If you love wearing bright and busy prints, always remember to balance it out with a simple dress that sits above the knees. Generally speaking, for petite girls, the best dress length is 4-5 inches above your knees. If you are going to a more formal occasion such as a wedding or black tie event, a longer dress is more appropriate. You can go with tea length (under your knees and above your ankle) in that case.
4. If you go with bolder prints, opt for a simple outfit. On the contrary, if you choose outfits with more layers and details, then choose smaller prints in a natural or pastel color.
5. Very large, gigantic prints all over your outfits can overwhelm your frame, if you are a petite woman about Reese Witherspoon height. Some says the print shouldn’t be larger than your fist. Keep it in balance by pairing the prints with solid colors.
