Goals For a Petite Strawberry:

There are a few things you should always consider when putting
together an outfit that perfectly flatters your petite strawberry shape:

• Add curves to your body, balancing your shoulders
  
• Soften your angular frame, especially on the upper body

General Tips for a Petite Strawberry:

Add curves to your shape on the lower body:

• It’s all about adding curves and volume to your lower half, which you can do by wearing flared skirts or dresses, or wide leg trousers.
• Make sure that any extra embellishments on your outfit are on your waist or your lower half to really draw that attention downwards!

Soften your shoulder angles

• A simple way to soften the shoulder angle is to wear either deep scoop or V-neck tops or dresses.
  

Show off your legs!

• If you’ve got them, flaunt them! Give your killer pins an outing by showing them off in short skirts and shorts.
• Don’t forget to wear high-waisted, voluminous styles - paper bag style shorts for example would look great

Things to Avoid as a Petite Pear: 

Drawing attention to your shoulders

• Tops with wide necks or very straight horizontal lines will contribute even more to adding width to your upper body, which you want to avoid.

Appearing top-heavy

• A simple way to avoid appearing top-heavy is to wear darker colours on the top and lighter, brighter colours either around your waist or on your bottom half.
• If you do want to wear something which is lighter on the top, then make sure you have plenty of volume on the bottom to balance it out
