Summer clothing such as shorts, T’s, dresses, and pants in cotton fabrics seem to be most popular. Casual clothing is everywhere but you see many fashionistas looking very stylish. Do to their short stature women love wedge and platform style shoes that give them a few more inches. However sandals, flats, sneakers and flip-flops are extremely popular too.
