A top can look off in an outfit when it’s too long. Try the look with a shorter top to see if that improves outfit proportions. Knotting, tying, or semi-tucking the front of a longer top to create the illusion of a shorter length can work too. 

Short Tops Fix Proportions

Fits of shorter tops can be body con, tailored, fluid, or oversized. Petite size tops are shorter and work better on some body types. Some tops can be shortened, which makes the proportional difference when you are not tall or just short in the torso.

An outfit looks more structured when you showcase some hip by wearing a shorter top. This visually lengthens the leg line, which comes in especially handy when you don’t wear heels. Voluminous tops can be easier to wear when they are shorter.
