How to find the perfect top length
So, we figured out where the hem of your skirt should end, how about the length of your tops?
To measure your Golden Number of tops, you need to:
- divide your body length from shoulder to floor by 1.618
- take the resulting measures from the floor to the top
If the resulting length is below your natural waistline, choose tops that also end below the waistline.
If the resulting golden number ends at the waistline or higher, then choose tops that end on your waist or just above the waist.
All this applies to your general body proportions.
Long legs need longer tops, while short legs look best in shorter tops.
For most people who don't have super-long or super-short legs, the Golden Ratio is the perfect measure of the length of tops and cardigans.
