In their 60-Second Style segment, an Elle Magazine stylist shares the following tips for petites who are looking for the perfect swimwear for summer -

Here’s a summary of the tips on choosing the best bathing suits for petites from the video:

1. Wear swimsuits that have a high-cut bottom. This is a good way to elongate your legs.

2. Choose casual footwear with height. Forget flat flip-flops. The stylist suggests to wear wedge espadrilles to add extra inches. It’s a good idea, but I will probably suggest a more neutral-coloured pair of shoes than the one featured on the video.

3. Wear a string halter top or a french top with padding. It’s meant to be a good, feminine look for petites.

4. Use short cover-up clothes. Again, this helps to show elongated legs.

5. Choose simple bandana or triangle tops. Avoid heavy straps and/or too much detail on your swimsuits.

As always, these are just guidelines or ideas for you to consider. Hope you find them useful!
