Fashion comes in different shapes and sizes, which is why petite women can also rock it when it comes to flaunting style. There are several fashion rules for petite women to ensure they always look their best. Rules from how to style their hair and fashion hacks to make them look taller are all over internet tips. However, they forget to include jewelry rules that look best on petite women. If you lack height but do not lack style, here are some jewelry rules you should never forget to look more stylish than ever. Take note of these jewelry ideas petite women should try.
1. The size of the jewelry matters.Since you are sporting a petite figure, choose accessories that are just the right size. Since the size is not your friend, go for flattering pieces. One good example is a pair of diamond stud earrings. Diamond stud earrings are dainty pieces of Jewelry, but the way they transform a look is fantastic. Try not to go for oversized hoop earrings or over-the-top chandelier earrings. Try to go on the simpler side because they are your best friends when trying to curate an ensemble.

2. Avoid bulky jewelry pieces.Since you should always go for dainty jewelry pieces, try to avoid bulky ones. We mean oversize statement necklaces or a multiple-bangle jewelry style composed of massive hand bling by bulky ones. Too many accessories can make petite women look shorter and look heavier than they are. Choose alternatives to their loud jewelry ensembles if you want to rock the boho look. Avoid the flashy details if you're going to look great. If you're going to make a statement, a more straightforward design, like a golden chain necklace, can transform your look without making you appear too much.

3. Choose a suitable bangle.Bangles come in different designs, and this allows the wearer to have multiple styles to choose from. However, a bangle choice isn't just superficial for a petite woman. Choosing a suitable bangle can make or break an outfit. Petite women often have petite wrists. Choose bangles that don't overwhelm your look. A gold bangle or a straightforward chain bracelet can add that classy touch to your look without making you look like you have tried so much. If the accent is what you are looking for, bangles with gems are also fabulous bling to choose from.

Anklet, also known as ankle bracelets, is a great way to upgrade your shoe game. If you are going for a casual street style, you can choose more subtle anklets than most.

5. The Thinner the Chain, the BetterSince the Kardashians invaded the spotlight, petite women have felt empowered regarding style. However, some of the girls' looks can sometimes be overwhelming for a petite girl who wants to look good even if she's on casual wear. The show features the sisters wearing massive bling that's overwhelming for an everyday look. If you love the chain necklace style, a favorite of the Kardashians, you can choose the more short, dainty versions. Go for thin chains than big ones. That's the safest way to go.

6. Play with ColorsPetite women often find it more comfortable to wear monochromatic pieces than colorful ones. However, every lady in the petite section should know that colors work great with shorties. Colorful accessories are ideal for amping up your look. If you want to look dainty, throw in some coral bling. Are you feeling like a boho beauty? Your turquoise pieces can help you! Bring a touch of cuteness to your look with colored beads! Don't shy away from color. Instead, use them to make your look a little more attractive!

7. Learn Jewelry PatternsIf you are short on height, know that patterns can do wonders for you. Do not underestimate what subtle lines and silhouettes can do for you. When you choose a dress, select a piece with lines and features that help elongate your features and not overwhelm you. When you choose Jewelry and accessories, these patterns are also at play. Avoid round patterns and icons, as they can make you look stouter. Instead, choose necklaces or earrings that have vertical line details on them. Making sure the pattern suits you is an excellent way to look great.

8. Check Your NecklineChoosing the right neckline is vital for a petite woman to looked. When you select a neckline, favor V-neck patterns. V-necks have a way of elongating your neck, making you look taller. The same goes for Jewelry. If you choose a V-neck top, pair it with a piece of Jewelry that follows the V-pattern. Necklaces that fall into V-shapes create the same effects as a v-neck blouse. Choose a color that you think will also work for your skin tone. Choose v-shaped Jewelry that will complement (and not overwhelm) your fashion look.

9. Invest in Fine Jewelry
When discussing Jewelry, your best bet is the fine ones—narrow belts, thin chain necklaces, classy gold bangles, and you name it. Having diamond stud earrings is a good start, too. A petite woman can't always pull off a set of heavy accessories. Instead, choose a bling that combines comfort and style. Do not skip the single-chain lanes or the thin ring section. Little do you know that they are your new best friends. Invest in expensive ones over cheap jewelry pieces. You never know when and how often you need them.

10. What Fits a Crop TopOne of the best clothing styles for petite women is the crop top. If you consider this style, choose a piece of Jewelry that fits the style of cropped tops. If you plan to go on the classy side, ditch the necklace and go for the simple diamond stud earrings (like Emma Stone's worn during Golden Globes). If you go for the stunning street style, you can choose a simple chain necklace to look more daring.

11. Don't Be Afraid to Go SimpleSince fashion pieces with overwhelming details don't work for a petite woman's favor, don't be afraid to go simple. Don't think you must go all out with your choice of fashion items to make a statement. Go simple. That's the safest way to start. You can either go for a little black dress paired with a stunning diamond stud earring or own the spotlight. Petite women can look extra classy if they go for essential jewelry pieces with an "oomph" factor.

12. Don't Use Statement Jewelry All at OnceWhen you have the right jewelry pieces in your jewelry box, it is easy to be tempted to wear them all at once. But that is not the case for a petite woman. You can either nail it (which is possible but brutal), or you will look like you tried so hard to look good. If you plan to wear that big statement earring, don't pair it with your statement necklace. If you want to rock your eye-catching choker necklace, keep everything else in moderation. Leaning on the simpler side will do wonders for your look. Trust me.
13. Wear Your Jewelry with ConfidenceLast but not least, wear your Jewelry with confidence. Don't sulk on the idea that you don't look good enough. Enjoy your sweet-looking diamond stud earrings. Feel confident with that dainty choker necklace on. It doesn't matter if your bangles and dangles tinkle or not. What's essential is you carry everything with stunning confidence. You're a petite woman, but that doesn't mean you should be underestimated. Shine all you can with your picks, and be proud to strut that stuff, shorty!
