Best Fit by Body Type
If You're Petite
Miss Selfridge Jumpsuit in Blue Floral
Price: $62
It's great if you can find a petite section, but not every label designs for the under 5’4” set, so your best bet is to opt for either a cropped leg, a tapered leg or a straight leg, like this one, according to Bergamotto.
The key is to have the hem hit just above the ankle, and to find a shoe that helps give the illusion of a longer leg -- like a pointed toe pump, mule, sandal, etc. In other words, avoid anything that cuts into your leg, like an ankle strap or bootie. Opt for an open neckline—like a V or square shape.
Prints are also always great on a smaller frame -- vertical stripes help elongate -- and florals add a fun, feminine vibe to a masculine silhouette. Just make sure the pattern is continuous from top to bottom.

Streamline length by opting for a monochromatic jumpsuit paired with a flat shoe -- we love a fun sneaker.
Our tall model has a short torso and long legs, so in order to create balance we chose an ankle-length hem as opposed to a floor-skimming, wide-leg version. If you’re tall and have a long torso, that’s the style for you to create more balance.
A V-neck is also super flattering if you're tall and have a big bust. It draws the eye upward and also creates the illusion of a longer torso by showing more skin up top, Bergamotto said.
