Dress to look taller
For someone with a petite figure like mine, it is always a good idea to apply tricks in the way we dress just to look taller, in other words create an optic illusion.
So, how to dress to look taller? First and foremost, the most important and obvious of all are certainly shoes. High heels or platforms give an instant increment to height and boost a woman’s self-confidence. The colour of the shoes should preferably match the colour of the pants so to create an illusion of length.
For pants, straight cut pants are probably the best to create an impression of longer legs as compared to skinny jeans which we think would make us look more skinny and taller. Also, to look taller, skirts should be short to show off more leg.
Continuing up the body, shirts or tops with vertical stripes elongate the torso. Dangling earrings could sometimes help too. As far as hair is concerned, shorter is better, just so to create a smaller head image and maximise the surface area exposed below the neck.
Many people find that a monochromatic look works very well for them. This means choosing one color, especially a darker one, to wear for top and bottom. The human eye interprets a monochromatic outfit as a single unit, and this tricks the mind into believing the person is taller.
Last but not least, always avoid baggy clothes. Clothes should be fitted and sleek to create a lean look.
So, why not try some of these techniques today and admire the results!
