If you are a woman, you will surely want to know some tricks to look taller, not only by wearing heels or platforms with many centimetres, but with certain details to achieve that effect, especially when we are short or have to attend an important event where we want to show off a slimmer and more stylized image. Therefore, it is advisable to take note of the following recommendations which will help you to gain height without much effort:
Wear vertical stripes to look taller: The visual effect of continuity provided by clothing with vertical stripes is a basic element to lengthen the figure; so if that’s the priority, go for vertical striped prints, and never choose horizontal stripes, as these provide a completely opposite effect, making you look much shorter.
Show the ankles: To gain visual height, it is important to make the legs look longer and to do this, it is essential to leave the ankles uncovered. On the other hand, you should try to wear pants that show the ankles, and if they are longer, you should wear footwear that allows seeing the instep; the more open the shoe, the greater the height will be visually.
Wear one-color or dark-coloured clothing: Dark colours are the most appropriate ones to achieve a sense of continuity in clothing, something that in turn translates into greater height visually. If you wear two-piece clothing, it is preferable that they are the same colour so as not to create horizontal cuts that do not lengthen the figure. If the intention is to look taller, try this trick and you will see that you will succeed.
Avoid clothing at waist height: It is recommended to wear garments that are below the waist because this way we add centimetres to the figure. You can also play with the asymmetrical garments that are favorable to look taller.
Wear High-waisted pants: High-waisted pants, which are above the waist, will make the legs look much longer, especially when they are tight to the body. On the contrary, if these are wide, greater volume is provided, which will make us look shorter.
Wear garments with small prints: To look taller it is advisable to wear small prints because the large ones reduce height, so take good care of the shape and size of the prints if you do not want to look shorter.
Wear bob cut: The longer the hair is worn, the shorter we will look, so it is necessary to opt for the half-mane or bob style, which will visually provide more centimetres, stylizing our figure considerably.
Wear flared pants: This type of pants provides a visual effect that makes the legs look much longer because the end of the legs cannot be seen.
Get a bun: The hairstyle is very important to look taller because it will make the neck look longer, in addition to the fact that the bow will make us gain a few centimeters in height. So, if you go to a party, wear a dress that goes well with a bow because if you add to the centimetres of the bow those of the heels, you will look much taller.
Wear maxi dresses and maxi skirts: Long, high-waisted skirts will make you look taller. It is better to wear a thin belt that marks the waist with maxi dresses so that these do not get lost in the silhouette and your legs look longer.
Try to wear V-necklines: If your figure is not very slim, you can lengthen it with V-necklines because these will create a visual effect that lengthens the neck and thus make you look taller.
Avoid garments with horizontal cuts: The horizontal cuts in the figure are not convenient at all when you are very short; the reason why you must then avoid the wearing of garments that have this type of cuts. Among the accessories that add horizontal cuts to the figure are very wide belts, short necklaces, large neck chokers, horizontal striped clothing, scarves tied around the neck, among others that will visually shorten the height, so they are not valid options to look taller.
Lengthen the figure with long necklaces: To look slimmer, the trunk area should be lengthened, which is achieved by wearing long necklaces with your outfits; try and you will see that your figure will look more elongated than if you wear short necklaces or necklaces instead.
Wear large bags with your outfits: In order for people to focus their attention on other details and not on their height, you should preferably choose large bags, thus breaking with the symmetry of the style and providing another element so that you can look taller.
Wear skirts that show off your legs: Visually the short skirt is a good alternative to look taller since the legs are more visible and the figure is stylized. This is not achieved if the skirt is worn at the height of the knees, so the length must be above them, even more so if you have nice legs to show off.
