Why is it some hot fashion items are for one body type?

Typically it seems most fashions look best on tall skinny women. Some styles look like they will only look good on someone 5'7" and 95 pounds. But the latest item must have been designed for the short woman in mind. I am talking about these short jackets with the short 3/4 sleeves.

They are so cute, but so many women I have seen wearing these look horrible. So short women, rejoice, the latest fashion trend is going to make you look great and better than the rest of us.

A woman at work had on one of the latest jackets the other day, it looked great, but she is shorter etc. So for once the fashion trend is not for tall pencil thin women, it is for a body type that most often gets overlooked when the latest trends come about. I am a tall woman, so most of these jackets do nothing for me. I just hope I can find a longer jacket this year.

I love fashion and love to shop for clothes. But I refuse to purchase something and wear it just because it is in style. It is sad when you see someone wear something that is the latest item, but it horrible on them. I know my limitations. So, for now I will leave these jackets for my shorter, petite friends and will envy them rather than they envy me this season.

Looking forward to some bright spring colors again!
