The Most Flattering Skirts for Every Height
As far as miniskirts go, an on-trend A-line version is the perfect choice for petite girls. The reason? Its high-waisted cut helps elongate your frame, while the slight flare slenderizes legs.
Zara Denim Skirt with Pockets ($60) in Blue
At any hemline, an envelope skirt will lengthen your legs thanks to the style’s diagonal lines.
ADDISON Repetti Asymmetrical Wrap Skirt ($158) in Milk
A skirt with slits is the perfect choice for a petite girl who wants to wear a longer skirt style. The slit will let you show some skin, so that you don’t appear drowned in fabric.

ISSA Karen Maxi Skirt ($495)
As far as miniskirts go, the best type for a tall girl would be a classic straight-cut style. Rather than covering your waist, a classic style sits lower, so it allots more fabric to your legs while still showing them off.
