Hey, my name is Sonja, I'm 22 years old and 1.75 m tall. I'm currently doing my vocational high school diploma and am currently working in retail alongside school. In my free time I like to be at home or out with friends or family, or I like to treat myself to some "me" time.
The interview:
Have you ever bought pants that were actually too short for you, but they weren't available in your size?
Yes, that has happened to me a lot. I always thought the pants were really nice and just bought them anyway.
What styling tip do you have for other women with long legs?
Legs are the most beautiful accessory a woman can wear. Personally, I constantly accentuate my legs with short to medium-length dresses, skirts, boyfriend jeans, hot pants or flared trousers in various styles to simply accentuate my legs. And I would recommend that all women with long legs try it out.
What do your favorite pants look like?
My favorite pants are flared pants (high-waisted or low-waisted) in black, white/beige or dark blue. The pants accentuate the bottom and legs so beautifully and get wider from the knee down.
What advice do you have for other women who are insecure or uncomfortable with their body size?
I advise women to accept themselves as they are, to try new things, to look for and find inspiration and, most importantly, to accept themselves as they are. Once you have accepted yourself, your supposedly “too long legs” or your supposedly not “perfect height” will no longer bother you at all.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a tall woman with long legs?
Personally, I only see one disadvantage, and that is the short legs of certain pants or brands, which are simply not suitable for tall people. Otherwise, I only see advantages. Almost every woman wants long legs, which we already have. Long legs are considered attractive and can be emphasized even better with high heels, jeans and various types of dresses.
Do you sometimes wish you were smaller?
I have never wanted to be small, my dad is tall and my grandma was also a beautiful tall woman at 1.94 m. I knew then that it would be no different for me and I accepted it and only saw advantages such as modeling, standing out when you enter a room and just being different in a positive way. But I have also had role models like Naomi Campbell and other beautiful women who are also tall. That meant that I never felt alone, but always special and beautiful.
What is your definition of beauty?
Everyone is beautiful in their own way, there are no guidelines for me. For me, true beauty begins from within, you should accept yourself and accept yourself as you are. This is the only way to transfer your inner beauty to the outside and suddenly you no longer have to be the loudest person in the room to be seen or constantly look for a certain kind of validation. The definition of beauty is to be able to feel comfortable in your body and to be able to free yourself from any norm.
Do you also like to wear high heels and how do you combine them?
Absolutely! I like to combine my high heels with jumpsuits, jeans or even dresses in different lengths.
Miniskirt with long legs – must-have or no-go?
A definite must-have! A miniskirt and high heels accentuate the legs even better and look very beautiful.
As a tall woman with long legs, can you wear anything or are there no-gos?
For me, there is nothing that a tall woman cannot wear. I would say that as a woman with long legs, it is a no-go not to show your legs.
Do you have a motto in life?
“Do what you want!” - you shouldn't care what others say about you, as long as you feel great and it makes you happy. “Go for it!” - and spend time with yourself every now and then, tell yourself that you are beautiful and unique and that no one is like you.
