There is no secret that I am a short person, 5’1 to be exact and I’ve learned a few ways to appear a little taller than I am. Of course once I stand next to someone you will alway be able to tell i’m a shorty!
Wear fitted clothing- It’s pretty obvious that when you do the opposite and wear oversized clothes, they take over your body and don’t highlight your figure, which of course you want do. Show off those curves!
Try wearing just 1 color- Wearing 1 color can help elongate your figure
Highwaisted everything- This helps give the illusion that you have longer legs than you do
Vertical Stripes- Also helps create the illusion that you are taller because the human eye automatically relates vertical lines to a long start and finish rather than horizontal which make you look wider.
Ditch the huge bag- if you’re like me you carry way too much stuff but carrying an oversize bag actually makes you look smaller.
Try Flared Jeans- This one I still have yet to try but pairing these with a great pair of heels make for a modern look
Rock Heels When You Can- of course heels always help to add actually height so why not?!
Mini Skirts- Creates the illusion that your legs are long for days!
Wear V Necks- This also helps to create the illusion because it is highlighting your neck and buy wearing a deep v neck it makes the eye look at the head and your check as a longer/taller part of the body
Pointed Shoes- You’s be surprised but this helps to continue to add to your height as it makes the eye stop beyond your toes, it stops at the point!
