The Petite Edit

One decisive long line beats three polite ones

The first issue: why proportion on a petite frame is geometry rather than taste.

Opening note

This is the first issue of The Petite Edit. The premise of the whole publication is in it: an outfit is a set of horizontal lines drawn across a vertical space, and a shorter frame has less space to absorb them.

  1. One styling lesson

    Let one layer be decisively the longest

    Two hems landing within a few inches of each other compete. Pick one long line and keep everything else four inches clear of it.

    Read it

  2. One seasonal guide

    Four hemlines that behave predictably

    Above the knee, at the knee, mid-calf and floor, and what each one needs above or below it.

    Read it

  3. One shopping discovery

    Low vamp, almond toe, matching tone

    The shoe combination that lengthens a leg line more reliably than any heel height.

    Read it

  4. One new story

    New this week: eight pieces for a working week

    Two trousers, two knits, a shirt, a blazer, a dress and one repeated shoe tone.

    Read it

  5. One resource

    The Wardrobe Planner

    A season-by-season planning system, and the measurement pages behind it.
