One of the international fashionistas that women can look up to is TingTing Lai, a German-Taiwanese fashionista currently based in Berlin. Despite not having the height or body type advantage, TingTing’s style is not limited as one might assume for someone of her stature.
TingTing Lai sports a modern style with a touch of bold and feminine allure.
Instead of donning cute outfits, she captivates her followers with her bold fashion choices regardless of her body type.

To look her best in these outfits, TingTing often applies the “1:3” formula, meaning the upper body accounts for one part, and the lower body accounts for three parts.
This ratio creates the illusion of longer legs, a more graceful figure, and an overall elegant and mature appearance.
Here are some of the most impressive outfits from this fashionista that you can draw inspiration from:
Crop Top + Low-Waist Skirt for Instant Height Boost
One of the easiest ways to apply the 1:3 formula is to pair a crop top with a low-waist skirt. This combination not only showcases your waist but also makes your lower body appear longer. Opt for a skirt with a slight drape, an A-line silhouette, or soft pleats for an elegant ensemble.
For instance, a monochrome crop top paired with an ankle-length pleated skirt exudes softness, femininity, and a modern aesthetic.
Oversized Blazer + Wide-Leg Pants: An Unexpectedly Perfect Match
Contrary to popular belief, oversized blazers can be flattering on petite women. The key is to pair it with a fitted top and high-waisted, wide-leg pants to create a “voluminous on top, streamlined on the bottom” silhouette. This outfit is versatile, suitable for both the office and casual weekend get-togethers.
To maximize the lengthening effect, opt for pants with center creases, hems that graze your ankles or are slightly longer, and pair them with pointed-toe shoes or sneakers with insoles.
White Dress: A Classic Piece for a Subtle Yet Chic Transformation
A simple white dress is a must-have in the summer wardrobe of petite women. To create the illusion of height, choose designs with a high waist accent, a slightly flared skirt, or intentional tiered layers.
For a touch of edginess, style your dress with a leather bag and boots.
Cardigan with a Subtle Sexy Twist
The notion that petite women can only pull off cute styles is limiting. In reality, a carefully chosen piece with subtle cut-outs can tastefully showcase some skin. Pair it with wide-leg pants that emphasize the waist, and you’ll effortlessly achieve a sexy and alluring look without needing model-like height.
This formula is especially fitting for beach vacations or summer getaways, offering both comfort and style.
High-Waisted Shorts: The Key to Longer-Looking Legs
When selecting shorts, petite women should focus on two crucial factors: a high waist and an appropriate length. These simple tricks create the illusion of longer legs. TingTing completes the look with ankle socks and loafers, channeling a youthful and sophisticated schoolgirl vibe.
High-waisted shorts of modest length are a petite woman’s secret weapon for appearing taller.
Denim Jacket with Waist Definition
TingTing pairs a longline denim jacket with a V-neckline and waist definition just below the bust with a white tee and a short black skirt. The pink LV sneakers add a playful, streetwear-inspired touch to the ensemble.
While a long jacket can potentially overwhelm a petite frame, the waist detail cleverly raises the waistline, creating a balanced and taller silhouette. Additionally, the V-neckline elongates the upper body, reducing the appearance of width and enhancing the overall slimming effect.
Petite women can opt for V-necklines and waist definition to elongate their upper body.
Athleisure Set: Making a Statement with Volume
For a streetwear-inspired, dynamic look, TingTing opts for an athleisure set comprising wide-leg nylon pants with a low waist and a white gingham bandeau crop top.
This outfit emphasizes the waist while showcasing a bold, vibrant personality that stands out in a crowd, defying any preconceived notions about petite women’s style.
