Look taller tips

Unfortunately, the only thing that can lift me a few inches is a good pair of heels.... I have to admit it….I am short but I like to use a few tricks to help me look taller.

Altitude has a lot to do with attitude, but there are tips that can help us elongate our figures.

1. Dress clothes of the same color, including shoes. You can still work with textures and get creative.

2. Vertical lines: great way to add length to your body. Remember to keep it simple. If you’re wearing a vertical striped shirt then wear a simple pair of skinny jeans.

3. Choose jackets that end right under your bottom.

4. Straight Leg/Skinny Jeans: Elongate your legs wearing skinny jeans or straight leg jean. This trendy style will create a vertical line from your hips down and therefore will make you look taller.

5. Choose the right size. Big or baggy clothes will make you look heavier and shorter.

6. If you wear flat shoes wear pants above your ankles.

7. Use high heels, but not too high because your figure can look out of proportion. Unfortunately very high heels look better on tall people.

8. Wearing pencil skirt has the same effect as skinny or straight leg jeans. A pencil skirt has a high waist and will therefore give the appearance that your waist is higher and that your legs are longer.

9. V-Neck Shirts: A V-neck shirt or sweater is an excellent way to elongate the body. A V-neck top will draw attention to your center and downwards, giving the illusion of an elongated top.

10. Low rise pants will fit you well if you don’t have wide hips. This will elongate your top and accentuate your waist.
