What hem length is best for women under 5 ‘ 4″?
The hem length of your dress or skirt can make or break your outfit and your appearance. The best hem length for anyone depends on their age, body type, and height. In general someone under 5 feet, 4 inches looks best when their hem hits mid-knee or a little shorter (1-2 inches above the knee). Usually, anyone under 21 can go shorter if they have a slim figure, good-looking knees, and attractive legs. Hemlines above the knees look great on most divas if they wear them with opaque tights.
Tip: Females under 5 feet 4 inches and overweight should forget about wearing dresses and skirts. Classic dark pants with a dark top will be more flattering.
