Do you consider yourself to be quite petite? Do you feel that you are one of the shortest when you stand amongst a group of people? Most women resort to wearing high heels to look taller, but end up with a terrible foot ache after a few hours itself. If you are amongst those women who often wish that they were taller, here are a few tips that can be quite helpful in creating an illusion of height.

Wear Vertical Lines And Stripes

Wearing plain old stripes, vertical patterns or pleats give the illusion of additional height. They not only elongate the body but also make us look slimmer and trimmer.

Include Other Vertical Elements To Your Wardrobe

Wear sweaters and shirts with front buttons, front zip and racing stripes. For a sexier look, wear a skirt having a slit, whether in the side, front or at the back. Pinstripes are quite in fashion these days and do the job well. Besides this, you can also wear costumes with embroidery, beads, corduroy and pretty patterns in a vertical format.

Wear V Neck Sweaters Or Shirts For Added Height

V-necks give the illusion of longer torso where high heels just make us physically taller. For additional height, you can also add a couple of extra inches by wearing high heels or platforms. Match the shoes with the rest of the outfit and judge what will go with it the best – platform sandals, stiletto heels or chunky heels. Besides, this a girl’s wardrobe should also contain some shoes, preferably in browns and blacks. Choose amongst boots, open toe and closed toe.

Wear Accessories That Add Height

Wear accessories like dangling earrings, long pendants, longer necklaces and chains or silky scarves. Different accessories like hats, sunglasses, shawls and barrettes also add to our height visually.

Wear Pants That Fit Well And Reach The Top Of Shoes

The pants that you wear must cover the sock that you are wearing as it creates the appearance of long legs.

After things are said and done, the right suit or dress can truly make the occasion. Coordinate and wear the best possible outfit.
