Are you looking for ways to appear taller? It is totally understandable why shorter women prefer to appear taller, so here are some tricks that will help. 

 

First, tall or short is a relative concept. The eyes and brain judge if you are tall or short based on your body proportion; how long your legs are compared to your torso. Therefore, proportion is everything. We cannot change our height, but we can find ways to improve our proportion and change our perceived height.

 

Color Match Pants and Shoes

When wear pants match the color of your shoes to them. This trick gives the illusion that your heels are an extension of your legs, making you look taller. 

Always Wear A Nude Heel

We have a couple of options that appropriate for any age. In the middle picture below, we paired a nude strappy heel and it tricks the eye into thinking her legs are longer.

         

 

One Piece Outfits

One piece garments such as dresses, jumpsuits and rompers can make a short person look taller, because of the continuous colors or prints can create a vertical line, lengthening your frame. Compared with a separate top and bottom, a one piece outfit does not emphasize where your legs and torso are divided. This makes its less noticeable of you happen to have short legs.

Skirts Instead Over Shorts

If you are short, wear a skirt over shorts. The reason being is that when wearing shorts it makes it obvious where your legs start, but with a skirt it is less obvious. Pair your skirts with heels for a chic look!

 

Flare Leg Jeans

Lastly, flare jeans are going to be your best friend! Their design is genius, tight around the legs then wide at the bottom. Wear heels with this style of jeans and your legs will look fabulous!
