The bottom line is drawn right here! Strips may look great on a short person, but if stripes are not your thing, don’t wear them! I’m not a jacket person, but I love sweaters, so I try to pair my fashion statements with snuggly sweater more than stiff jackets. Just because high waist jeans are supposed to make you look better doesn’t mean you will look totally out of place if you opt for shorter waisted items!
