Necklines, Prints & Patterns

* Choose clothes with V-necks and vertical stripes. They help to create an illusion of height and helps the body look elongated.
* Diagonal stripes also serve the same purpose.
* Avoid horizontal stripes.
* Avoid mixing colors and prints.
* Avoid wide patterns, small prints and big pockets.
* The prints should be arranged in a manner that they follow a vertical pattern directing downward. Big floral patterns wont serve the purpose of elongating the height, seemingly.
