These are the secrets!
Pants are too long, sleeves are too big, or the garment looks completely different from the photo… Small girl problems! But don’t worry, there are also useful styling tips for petite women.
Small is beautiful
With high heels you can often gain a few centimeters, but did you know that certain clothing can also have an influence? For example, oversized clothing can make you look even smaller, as can wearing different colored layers. On Instagram we found a few petite influencers who are more than happy to share their secrets. Take notes, because we list everything!
1. Emphasize your waist
If you love oversized clothes, you as a petite can sometimes disappear in them. A useful tip is to emphasize your waist with a belt. Tip: use a narrow belt with a large blazer and a large belt with oversized trousers. Then you will look much longer!

2. Combine short clothes with pointy shoes
Pointy shoes with flared jeans make you look taller, but pointed shoes and short clothing also have a beneficial effect. Your legs appear much longer and it always looks beautiful. A simple life hack!

3. Choose cropped denim
While cropped items can make you look even smaller, cropped denim can give the impression that you have long legs. Especially if it is pants with a high waist, a tight cut and a smart fit. Aimee Song knows how to perform this trick to perfection!

4. Invest in high-waisted pants
Just like with a belt, high-waisted pants can be a great breaking point in your outfit. In addition, your legs look a lot longer, especially when you combine it with a fitted shirt. We love these high waisted pants from Monikh!

5. When in doubt, go tonal
An outfit in the same color is always a good idea, especially if you are small. Because an outfit is in the same color, you look much longer. While clothes in different color separations can make your torso or legs appear shorter.

6. Choose your layers consciously
A good tip from Aida: choose the right balance in your layers. When wearing an oversized coat, skinny jeans or shorts are a good idea to look taller.

Invest in your items
Do you have clothes that you love but that make you look even smaller? A visit to a tailor is certainly a good idea. By making your clothes fit, you don’t have to throw them away and you can wear them for a long time. Think of pants that are too long or dresses that fall to the floor. Ideal!
