19 Flattering Swimsuit Styles Fit for Gals With Short Legs

1. Tailored Denim

Ann Taylor The Denim Trouser

Denim is a timeless classic that's been around for as long as any of us can remember. It also comes in a variety of styles, making it easy to style no matter your age. What makes tailored denim so special — like this pair of Ann Taylor trousers — is it's ability to be appropriate for business casual work settings. The classic rinse wash is more ideal for cooler winter days while the flared hemlines give ankle books a nice peek-a-boo feature.

GAP Classic Button-Down Jean Shirt

A classic button-down shirt with non-stretch denim is another easy style to wear because it can go with almost anything you own. Bootcut jeans? Yep! A suede midi skirt? We love a western moment! However, the most important thing we appreciate about this shirt is that it's made of 95% cotton.

Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt

Denim skirtshave been been on the style scene for a while and we're sure they're here to stay. To avoid baring too much skin during winter, opt for a midi option like this piece from Banana Republic. It has a similar flared hemline like the Ann Taylor Denim Trousers, making it appropriate for 9 to 5 days, brunch with friends on Saturday, or church on Sundays!

2. Playful Textures

Mango Suede Leather Loafers

Loafers are an absolute staple during fall and winter, hence why we keep talking about them so much! They're a chic way to elevate even the most basic t-shirt and jeans outfit combinations, plus they work for everyone. Get a suede pair to add subtle texture to your outfit for a fun chic moment.

Old Navy High-Waisted Corduroy Wide-Leg Pants

Corduroy pants are another winter staple that continue to be recycled throughout the years. No matter how hard we try, we keep coming back to them which is why we think they're a great style option for women over 50. Because of their texture, these pants can also add subtle texture to your overall look without creating a huge statement.

Joe's Jeans by Dani Michelle Mia Crop Leather Pants

If you want to wear something a little bolder, you can't go wrong with black leather pants. They're a must-have during colder months, especially if they're lined!

This pair gives you the option to wear them with calf or knee-high boots so that they elongate your frame. Ankle boots are always cute, but they'd slightly throw off the dimensions of these pants! Once you have your chosen footwear, add a cute cardigan or sweater to it for a cozy look that'll receive compliments!

3. Animal Print

Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag

Leopard print is always trending, but that doesn't mean that's the only animal pattern you have to wear. Cow print is another fun way to add a pop of texture to your outfit if you're wearing something monochromatic. Or, you can easily copy the outfit above and look equally as stylish.

P.S. Don't be surprised if you see someone from B+C's editorial team wearing this look!

Banana Republic Oversized Snake Print Midi Dress

It's okay if wearing cow print feels weird to you because that's not your only option! Snake print is another pattern you can wear, especially if it looks like this Banana Republic midi dress. Instead of the typical depiction of snakes, this dress looks like someone zoomed in on scales and created something that feels more refined.

Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mule

Add a touch of zebra print to your winter outfit with these calf hair mules by Sam Edelman. They still have a bold factor like the Tecovas tote bag or the Banana Republic snake print dress, but they're not as in-your-face.

4. Shades Of Green

J.Crew Daphne Topcoat

Everyone needs a nice topcoat in their life, preferably in the shade green! We're 100% biased about that because green brings out a person's inner glow and helps ground them based on color psychology. Also, the fact you could wear a sweatsuit with this coat and still look put together makes us excited to share it with you.

Target Bucket Crossbody Bag

Add a pop of color to your outfit with this cute crossbody bag found at Target, everyone's favorite place to shop. The minimal gold hardware gives it such a sleek appearance that we're personally fighting the urge to buy it in black too!

Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater

You can always rely on a sweater to be easy to style! Abercrombie & Fitch's funnel neck version is amazing for anyone who wants to wear a turtleneck without feeling like they're struggling to breathe. We understand they're not always comfortable, but you won't get that with this cute style!

5. Cardigan & Coats

Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

Are you ready to give up cardigans? We figured you'd say no so we're giving the best of both worlds — a cardigan coat. Anthropologie always has the cutest winter styles so this brushed texture was too cozy-looking to ignore. You know what's even more exciting about it? Anthropologie is literally giving you an OOTD idea you can easily recreate at home!

NA-KD Wool Scarf Detail Coat

Protect your neck from the brutal winter winds with NA-KD's scarf coat that'll keep you warm and chic. It's slightly oversized so you're able to wrap yourself up and not have to worry about looking like you didn't put any effort into your look.

Quince Double-Faced Merino Wool Scarf Coat

Go for a shorter option for the days where it's not as cold. You'll still get the same effect from a longer scarf coat without feeling like you'll trip over the hemline. Since Quince's design is wool, you'll still be nice and toasty! Just add a pair of gloves so that your hands don't freeze!

Anthropologie Bubble Letter Monogram Bag Charm

If you're been focusing on gratitude journaling so you're not stuck doom scrolling every day, it doesn't hurt to buy a cute bubble letter bag charm (or three) to remind you to reach for joy! They're easily interlock on your purse strap and will catch the sunlight no matter which way you turn your bag.

Wanna go for something a little cheekier? I think "BRAT" letters could do the trick. 💚

Shades of Sea Triple-Layer Necklace

Love the look of tangled necklaces that don't come with the risk of accidentally breaking? Us too! That's why we included this triple-layer option. You'll get a couple of gold hardware chains mixed in with cute beads that are a nod to the friendship bracelets you used to make.

Cherry Drop Earrings

We don't really have a concrete reason for why you need these cherry earrings aside from noticing how cute they are. They're one of the designs that skims the lines of being kitschy yet chic, making them a must-have!

Triple Curve Huggie Earrings

Our minimalist lovers will love to keep it simple with these silver semi-hoop earrings. They have a curved appearance that won't give off the impression that they're boring or lifeless. Trust us — they're anything but!

Maeve Scallop-Edge Scarf

For all we know, you could be looking for a fun scarf to tie around your neck and we've got the perfect one for you! This scallop-edge design makes a statement, but it won't overshadow your outfit! Isn't that fun?

Waffle-Stitch Scarf

This traditional waffle-stitch scarf is for anyone who cares more about keeping their neck and chest warm than they do having something that makes a bold statement.

Wait, sit down. We have to discuss how neck scarves can be as cute as they are stylish. This leopard print option has all the makings of something that'll pair nicely with the brand new wool coat you just bought.

Patterned Hair Scarves, Set of 2

Protect your hair and make a statement with this set of patterned hair scarves. They partially remind us of the expensive glassware sets our grandparents wouldn't let us touch as kids, but this time you won't have to worry about her fussing over your choice.

I-SEA Aviator Readers

Both glasses and reading can be sexy — at least according to these aviator readers! They keep pesky blue light from computer and kindle screens at bay, protecting your eyes in the process.

Vintage Western Belt

Add a cute western belt to your bootcut jeans for a cowboy chic outfit that'll get you tons of compliments.
