Flamboyant Gamine
Bold, quirky, high energy.
Compact with yang dominance: broad or angular bones on a small frame, a staccato mix of sharp and straight lines. Nothing about the outline is soft or sleepy.
Why these pieces work
Lean into this. Bold color blocking and sharp contrasts. Cropped and boxy with edge, playful patterns, statement accessories, menswear-inspired pieces with a twist, short hemlines.
Steer clear of this. Head-to-toe soft romance, long unbroken lines that swamp a petite frame, fussy prim details.
