I’m an educated woman. I didn’t think I had much to learn from Kim Kardashian. But when it comes to style and working with what you’ve got, it’s hard to imagine a better teacher than Kim K.
Her dimensions might pose enormous problems for the lesser among us, but Kim is making being short and curvy incredibly sexy.
You don’t have to be stick-thin
After seeing a million too many photos of bony models, a few curves and softness is a welcome change. Even Jennifer Lopez, who is often heralded as a curvy woman, has abs of steel and well-toned legs. Many photos of Kim show a healthy woman with a flat but soft set of abdominals. She’s thin but not stick-thin. I (and millions of men) think she looks great.
You don’t have to be tall to be larger than life
Estimates for Kim’s height hover around 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 3 inches. Either way, she’s not tall. She may not even be “average” height. But her glamour and fashion and confidence make her appear larger than life. Her stilettos probably don’t hurt either. (Well, they may hurt physically.)
Pick a feature to flatter
Kim has beautiful eyes which becomes especially evident when you see a photo of her without makeup. Kim is prone to featuring her eyes with dark makeup and lashes, while painting her lips a fairly nude hue. When you see a woman with dark hair, dramatic eyes and plump, fleshy lips, your mind might automatically jump to Kim. In fact, the look-alike Old Navy hired for a recent ad campaign had people buzzing because she shared these same characteristics.
Work with what you’ve got
Aside from money, Kim’s got curves. And more curves. And she’s smart enough to work them. No flouncy loose tops. No baggy pants. No shapeless dresses. She wears fitted clothes with structure to emphasize her small waist. If her clothes weren’t fitted, she would look boxy. And while this might not work for everyone every day, she isn’t afraid of showing her ample cleavage. She knows what her strengths are and she works ‘em.
