How to appear Taller

How to appear Taller

Colors

 
 
 
* Opt for monochromatic outfits that are made of varying tones of one color.
 
*To avoid dullness, add colors to your monochromatic clothes by combining the skirt or trouser with a blazer, cardigan or an over-shirt.
 
*Even by mixing textures of the clothes dullness can be avoided.


 
 

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.


 
 

Clothes


* Wear skirts that are lesser in width and more in length.
 
* Avoid wearing long skirts.
 
* Opt for skirts falling just above the knees.
 
* Mini dresses also help give a elongated look to petite people.
 
* Boot- cut jeans with little flares will make you appear taller.
 
* Petite people should avoid wearing oversize clothes. Close-fitting or better fitting clothes should be preferred.
 
* Mix and match is a good option. Try mixing your long jacket with a short skirt or your short jacket with pants, etc.

 


 
 

Accessories


* Avoid big, wide belts with big buckles. Wear them just under the empire-line, or lower down on your hips. 

* Choose scarves tied loosely with long, vertical stripes or prints following a vertical pattern. Avoid big floral or paisley prints.

* Use long necklaces like Opera necklaces that are about 26-34 inches long.they fall below the bust-line.or pendants and avoid Chokers .Even Rope necklaces whose strands can be doubled or tripled can be opted. Pendants are a good option as well.

 


 
 

Footwear


* Select shoes with minimum an inch heel. They help giving the elongated look.
 

* Avoid wearing flat shoes.
