The 7 best styling tips for small women

1. High waist pants are our allies

2. Emphasize your waist!

Accentuating your waist will visually make your legs look longer. This trick can be transferred to blazers, coats, shirts or dresses. Either go for tailored cuts (which are all the rage right now) or customize airier garments with a waist belt or scarf.

3. Pointed-toe shoes are essential

When it’s supposed to be elegant, I usually wear high heels and regret this choice after a short time. A more convenient and no less chic option for small women are pointed-toe shoes in combination with any wardrobe item. Ballerinas, slides or boots with a pointed toe ensure an elegant leg line and “stretch” them optically considerably.
