Speaking of which, if you have a smaller facial structure in addition to a smaller body type, then this season’s small sunglasses trend will work wonderfully for you; I love this of-the-moment white cat-eye pair!

Last but not least, this fun yellow tote adds a cheery pop of color to this (mostly) blue-and-white look.  

I hope that these tips and outfits have helped you learn more about dressing a petite body type, and that they have shown you that you don’t need to be a specific size/build to pull of the looks that you love! Thanks for your question!
