It is hard to beat the graphic combination of black and white.  Here is why every petite woman should have black and white combinations in her wardrobe:

1.  Black and white outfits are so easy to put together and always look stylish. 

2.  You are sure to get noticed (in a good way) in this dynamic duo. 

3.  Black and white is great for travel because everything mixes and matches.

4.  Accessorizing is mindless.  Black and white works with shoes and handbags in every color – bright, neutral, pastel, or neon.

There are a few tips petite women need to keep in mind to flawlessly pull off the look.  First of all, keep it simple.  Too many blocks of black and white on a petite figure is overwhelming.  If you opt for a black and white print, don’t wear a pattern bigger than the size of your fist.  Finally, remember that black conceals and white reveals.  Use this unbeatable combination of color to maximize your assets and minimize your flaws.  For example, a pear shaped petite can balance wide hips with narrow shoulders by pairing a solid black bottom with an eye-catching black /white  pattern on top.
