Women with short torsos and longer legs, including top styling tips, recommended brands, plus how Tellar.co.uk makes finding your perfect size effortless
1. Understanding the Short Torso / Long Leg Proportion
Women with this body shape typically have a torso that finishes above the natural waist and longer legs. The goal: create visual balance and elongate the upper body.
✔️ High-waist bottoms (trousers, skirts, jeans) are your best friends—they anchor the waist higher for a balanced silhouette

tellar.co.uk.✔️ Vertical details—pinstripes, V-necks, vertical seams—draw the eye up and help elongate the torso
tellar.co.uk.✔️ Monochrome or tonal outfits create a seamless vertical line, perfect for elongation.✔️ High-rise or wide-leg trousers especially on long legs—these lengthen the lower body without shortening the already petite torso.2. Style Recommendations
