I am 5'2" in height, with a short torso, what are some tricks I can use to elongate my mid-section?

For this fashion dilemma, I asked my friends at Nygård for their tips and advice.
Create the illusion of a longer torso with lines and silhouettes. Rather than wearing cropped styles, make sure your tops are longer and reach past the hips, like a tunic. Cinch a belt just below the natural waist to give yourself shape & visually extend the torso. Another option is to disguise the location of your waist with an Empire-style top like Peter Nygård's Trimmed Empire Blouse. Also, stick to styles with vertical details like pinstripes - try a leg-lengthening pinstripe pant like this one from the Nygård Collection.
