My husband is short! What should I wear?

My husband is short... “Deal with this grief yourself,” you will say, and you will be absolutely right. A man is chosen by his soul, not by his height. The exception can probably only be very young ladies who want broader shoulders, healthier, in a word, something to carry in their arms.

A little history...

When we met, I was far from young, so I was able to evaluate his “I” instead of external data much more effectively. We dated for a long time, I was thin, and he was broad-shouldered, and this “advantage” in height was not particularly noticeable. However, when I gave birth to a child and gained 27 kg, and became even larger than my husband, cats began to scratch in my soul. I started to have complexes.

Therefore, I always pay the greatest importance to the choice of shoes.

Displaced waistline

Where there is a belt or a hint of it, You should always be wary of a low waistline and, as a result, disproportionate figure. The belt “cuts” the silhouette, and in order for everything to look harmonious and the legs to be visually longer without heels, the waist should be higher than usual. “Well, not under the chest!” - you will say, and again you will be right. What to do? I simply advise hide the waist line.

Dress? No belt at all. Skirt or pants? We complement it with a jacket, blazer, jacket, or wear it untucked. Of course, in some cases it will be impossible to refuse to emphasize the waistline, but it's worth trying.

To open or not to open your legs?

This is a problem for girls, and even more so in the summer. The fact is that bare legs in combination with “low” shoes always look rustic... What to do?

Firstly, stop paying attention to it. If you want to wear a skirt or shorts, wear it! The length should be as short as possible. It’s better to choose shoes that will visually lengthen the leg. For example, these could be:

  • open toe ballet flats;
  • gladiators with thin straps;
  • open shoes with ankle fastening.

Desirable in summer nude shoes, in extreme cases, pastel.

What to do with your ankle?

Should I wear cropped trousers? I will answer - yes, but not in those situations when you need to appear proportional and shorter. The fact is that without a heel, the figure becomes a little “squat,” so we will mask its absence. You won't be able to do this with a short leg. That's the rule - only long trouser legs! And you can wear fashionable pants when your loved one is not around.

Shoes for husbands

First of all I put my heels deeper in the closet. Any.If I don’t want to feel complex about my height, I need to “reduce” it somehow, and I can start by buying “low” shoes. I settled on:

  • Winter and autumn high knee boots with an elegant last on a flat sole or cube heel.

  • Ankle boots with tablet heels.

  • Gladiator sandals.

  • Ballet sandals.

Attention! A cuff or decoration at the bottom is taboo!

For shoes, choose something elegant.. For example, on a hot evening, you can wear elegant mules with a pointed toe and a small tablet heel. Just be sure that the pant leg must cover the heel. During the day you can wear any sandals.

Low sandals, maxi skirt, tank/t-shirt/top

The principle of combining clothes here is similar to the previous ones. We “hide” the shoes and lengthen the legs. I recommend purchasing sandals with thin straps and height up to the middle of the ankle, not higher. You can wear gladiators, or you can wear simple sandals with a bridge between the toes.

The skirt is a plain A-line style, straight with a slit, flared, high waist allowed. I don’t recommend pleated or tulle, it’s very beautiful, but doesn’t elongate the silhouette. The only exception may be thin women. By the way, this is the only version of the ensemble in which I recommend making the belt high and “visible” the proportions will not be affected by this.

On a T-shirt you can “come off” and make this detail of the set an accent. Prints, decoration (in moderation), interesting style - everything will do. For a summer look, this combination of clothing items is great.

Long warm skirt, short coat/jacket and ankle boots

For the off-season, choose fine wool or cashmere. Elegant fabric will emphasize your status, and no one can blame you for hiding something.

A short coat or leather jacket will fit perfectly into an autumn-spring look. Bright contrasting shades work well - yellow, mustard, red, black, sometimes gray. It is advisable to avoid colorful fabrics.

coat

For shoes I recommend low ankle boots with a graceful last. Choose the model carefully, count on the fact that in the future it can be worn with a short skirt. For example, this option would be perfect:

low bots

Mid-thigh demi jacket, leggings, boots

In the off-season, in order to “run” to the store or for other everyday errands, such a kit will definitely come in handy. I recommend choosing a jacket with a fitted silhouette to the “middle of the butt”, leggings – “loose”, and shoes – high, “under the knee”, but with an elegant last.

Or with high boots:

And if I wear a dress, then I have a cashmere coat as outerwear.

What to do if you need to look your best?

Feel free to wear luxurious clothes and heels. A short husband and a tall wife are not a reason for ridicule at all. This is a rather harmonious and delightful tandem! I once read that there is a huge difference between whether a woman is embarrassed by her short husband or not. What do you think this pair looks like:

  1. She looks at him with adoration, holds his hand, looks at those around him with a proud look - they say, look what a man I have!
  2. Or does the woman look around hauntedly, walk a little behind, shudder, feel shy, talk to her husband contemptuously because she is ashamed?

Look at yourself from the outside! How are you behaving? Well that's it :-)
