i do agree though that a lot of these styles are hard to pull off, irrespective of your body type...the high waisted trousers in particular imo... and skinnies can be difficult too...

i always have a hard time with pants... i tend to stick to fairly skinny jeans because i have such difficulty finding anything else that looks as flattering... it's quite frustrating...
being petite doesn't mean you don't have long legs..
that's just about proportion...



and i guess that if you are tall and lean...you can pretty much wear anything..
so that's an easy way out for the author...that's true...



but imo...
the article does a good job with the pics...
helping to show each style and show an iconic image with a contemporary image and some ideas of what to wear it with...
to me...
a picture is worth a thousand words...
and i just like the pictures...
i will decide for myself which style works best for me...
and to be honest, i think i have all of them in my closet!
