The little woman

Women who are below the average Dutch height of 1.67 cm are considered the somewhat smaller ladies. Funny fact, I also belong to that with my height of 1.59. Not bad at all because you can dress yourself there.


A handy tip to take into account in your styling is that horizontal stripes make wider, vertical lines make longer. So do you want to look a little longer? Then vertical stripes are very good for you.


Also think of close-fitting clothes, this is best for a small woman. Large, wide clothing is not so flattering for small ladies.

 Heels, right, do you already have them? they really provide length. Check!


When buying clothes, think that you don't play too much with different colors, because this breaks your outfit and can make you look smaller. Experiment with some nice accessories and you can go all the way with it.


Do you like to wear nice dresses and skirts just like me? Please note that the skirt or dress falls just above the knee, then it is nicely proportioned.

------------------------

The slightly taller woman

Are you taller than 1.80, then you fall into the category of taller women. What is very nice about this length is that you have many options in your choice of clothing. Fun!


You can dress pretty cool, think of a pair of cool baggy jeans, this is because you have more volume in the width and that therefore distracts from your height. Horizontal stripes in your clothing also provide width, which breaks your outfit so that you look less tall.

What also breaks in your outfit are bright colors, making you look optically smaller.

Large accessories are your best friend, think of large bags or large jewelry. Everything here derives from your height.

You can wear long dresses and skirts, along with a bright print and nice sneakers or sandals. It looks good on you, beautiful lady.
