If you are a small woman, you know this: If the trousers are the right width, you can still roll them up several times. If the jacket is the right length, you won’t fit into it at all. The good news: You don’t have to shop in the children’s department or miss out on stylish outfits . If you are one of the smaller women, you have probably tried to make yourself look taller than you actually are. To achieve this, you should pay attention to a few things and avoid common styling mistakes.

The perfect women’s jeans for small women

There are a few things to consider when choosing the right jeans if you want to look taller. Choose jeans with a particularly high waist so that your legs appear longer. If that’s not enough for you and you want to add a few centimeters to your legs, wear jeans that end above your ankles . Ankle jeans make your legs look even longer. Small women should choose women’s jeans without any washing. If you still want a washing, make sure that the washing is vertical – this lengthens the legs.

Accentuate your waist!

Drawing attention to the middle of the body and thus drawing attention to the waist is the key when it comes to cheating your way to a larger size.

(Thin) Belts

Using a belt to accentuate the waist is probably the most well-known trick. Make sure it is not too wide . You will quickly see how much longer your legs suddenly appear.

High Waist

The perfect women’s jeans for small women have a particularly high waist. Because the pants end in the area of ​​your waist, it is emphasized and your legs appear optically longer. You should also choose a high-waisted model for skirts .

tuck your top into your pants

A trick that can be combined perfectly with the two tips mentioned above: tuck your T-shirt, sweater or blouse completely or partially into your pants . Not only does this look totally fashionable, it also makes your legs look endless.

Tailored jackets

The right women’s jacket enhances every outfit. A particularly short jacket that ends at your waist will visually lengthen your legs many times over. If you want a longer jacket or blazer, you should make sure that the garments are either fitted from the start or can be adjusted at the waist – for example with an internal drawstring .

A-line

Another way to draw all eyes to your midsection: the A-line! Whether you want to wear a feminine dress or a playful skirt: a flared shape flatters your height particularly well.

Pattern: small and fine

If you love playful dots, stripes and wild animal prints, then you should keep it small – prints that are too big can overwhelm you visually . Make sure that the stripes are vertical rather than horizontal – otherwise the item will quickly make you look wider instead of longer.

The right shoe choice

When it comes to the perfect shoes for short women , you probably think of high heels first. It’s no secret that pumps or boots with high heels can make you look a few centimeters taller. If high heels aren’t your thing or you want to take a little pressure off your feet on certain days, you can go for shoes with a subtle platform . But make sure that they don’t look too bulky, otherwise your choice of shoes will have the opposite effect.

styling mistakes

oversized looks

Admittedly, the oversized look is currently very trendy. However, it doesn’t flatter your size if your XXL sweatshirt swallows you up or you step on your pants that are way too big. Instead, go for figure-hugging pieces and balance out the volume with a loose piece of clothing on top .

Large handbags

They look great in terms of style and you can fit a lot in them – but unfortunately you look even smaller than you are behind them. So limit yourself to a handful of must-haves and only take the bare essentials with you . Then you’ll be fine with a small handbag.

Too many colors

Even if you like it colorful: too many different colors look confusing and visually compress you. Instead, choose a monochrome look in your favorite color.
