How To Look Tall?

December 19, 2008




The urge to add on a few inches to your height is definitely irresistible, however there’s nothing much you can do to increase your height because the chemistry of height is over too complex with genetics playing a major role in there.

Being short, or let me say petite for that sounds much better, you mostly come across as being a lovable, cute and cuddly person, so no need to feel disheartened because of your height.

While of course you always have the option to wear stilettos to look taller, we also have here some little points that you could include in your dress up and grooming to look taller.

When picking up clothes, go in for outfits which are in a single color that is both the top and the trouser are in the same color, since any break in the color scheme tends to give you a shorter visual appearance. For spice sake, you can opt in for a contrasting handbag or a scarf, but for your clothing let the same base color run from your neck to toe. If you’re planning to wear a jacket or a cardigan let it remain unbuttoned to enjoy a taller look.

Any apparel or accessory which gives a horizontal cut to your overall look such as a wide belt should be avoided, since the more horizontal visual sections you are cut into the shorter you will appear to be. In line with the same fact we would recommend you to wear shoes which are either exactly the same color as your trousers or at least a close match.

And the same rule goes for your stockings as well. Wearing vertical stripes also helps in portraying a longer look while at the same time making you appear slimmer as well. So get your hands on to some striped trousers as they’re quite a lot in trend these days.

The next aspect that needs attention is your hair. With your petite stature, make it a golden rule never to wear your hair loose. Instead, to make your neck look longer try a hair style that keeps your hair away from your neck such as a ponytail or a bun. For those with short hair, ensure that they are well trimmed around your ears. Ideally short hair lengths seems better on petite damsels, but if you love long hair, go for it but do remember to style it up well.
