Alright my fellow small friends, spring is here (unless you’re like me and live in Canada where Mother Nature is drunk). On the bright side, new season=new wardrobe. Finding clothes becomes difficult for the tiny humans of the world because, let’s face it, unless it’s labelled “petite”, clothes make you like you should be shopping at Gap Kids.
But don’t worry; I know you belong in the adult Gap store. So I have compiled the struggles that us tiny human beings experience while trying to look “hip” or whatever weird word kids are using these days.
1. Maxi Dresses are made for Short People… Said No Honest Friend Ever
Look, maxi dresses are so trendy and are usually super flattering on the average height human, however, it makes us tiny humans look like we float through life as a ghost. Not to mention the fact that if you wear the dress, it will drag on the floor and you will look even shorter than you already do. It’s not fun, don’t try it.
Pros: No need to bring out that razor, the dresses can cover those furry legs
2. These Boots are made for Walking….
Okay, so it’s April which means there will be a ridiculous amount of rain. You know what this means, it’s time to bring out the super cute rain boots. Well, for us pint sized people, rain boots might as well be shin pads too. I have to buy children’s shoes (luckily, I have toddler sized feet) in order to give me some leg showing cuteness between the boots and my knee. Really, it just looks like the boot has pretty much eaten my shins.
Pros: Your legs won’t get covered in water from a car splashing you
3. Long Coats for Days
Similar to the boots situation, the super cute spring coat are on fleek (yes, I used that word). These coats are so flattering on your average height person but yet again, us short folk miss out again. I know that when I wear these coats, It looks like I’m playing dress up in my mother’s closet. It also looks like my legs are non-existent, which doesn’t help my “adult “look.
Pros: If you’re cold, you can bundle your small legs under the coat to stay warm
4. Are Capri Pants Considered Regular Pants on Short Girls?
Okay babes, no matter how hard you try, regular sized Capri pants will NOT FIT ON SHORT PEOPLE. It will either look like you’re wearing odd length shorts or your pants are just a tad too short. Either way, it is not a good look.
Pros: None, there is never any pros to Capri Pants on short people.
