I have a long torso, which means I have short legs. This can be really frustrating when it comes to finding clothes that fit or look "good" and it definitely led to a lot of catty comments from other girls when I was growing up. But I realized there was nothing wrong with how my body looked; the problem was in clothes that were only made with one body type in mind. Now, I still have to live in a world where appearance matters so I've figured out what I'm willing to do to dress my long torso and what I'm not willing to do. One thing I am willing to do is be choosy about my cardigan and jacket lengths. You can really see the difference between the two cardigan lengths since the rest of the outfits (shoes, pants, shirt) are all the same. Basically, those really trendy long cardigans and sweaters are not for me since they make my legs look super-short especially with ankle length pants. One thing I've found with my long torso is that I can't buy cropped sweaters because they end up too short on me. What I do is buy regular length sweaters and cardigans but style them cropped or as slightly cropped pieces.
One piece of advice that I've gotten about my long torso that I'm unwilling to do: wear a dress with a large belt worn really high up. This actually hurts my stomach and I don't care how fashionable or cute it is, the pain ain't worth it. That being said, if it works for someone else, that's fine by me.
