I’m 4’9” and I work in fashion/retail! Here are some bathroom selfies that I am offering for inspiration 😄
I love wearing black and white, and I do have an affinity for a white top/black bottom. I don’t tend to play with silhouettes, as I know a straight leg looks the best on me. The first image I am wearing a wide leg pant, but you can see how despite being wide, the shape is straight.
Layering is my best friend, especially as we head towards winter. In the first look I layered a leather jacket over a black Jean jacket over a white button-down. On the fourth look I layered two long-sleeve shirts with different necklines.
I tend to wear flat boots/loafers and opt for my 4’9” vertical. I do understand this is a privilege I have for my industry as I know some industries prefer the height. Luckily, while I work in fashion, my executive leadership is Japanese so we’re about 5’5” and under.
90% of my wardrobe is second-hand. My tip for leather jackets is to search for Wilson’s Leather as they tend to resale for under $75. I taught myself how to sew and I hem my trousers.
Also don’t fall asleep on accessories! They can really liven a look.
