HOW TO GUIDE: LOOK TALLER
HOW TO LOOK TALLER: Wear Vertical Lines | When trying to look taller, it is best to wear vertical lines, such as stripes instead of wearing any kind of pattern that is horizontal, which can make you appear wider. Another option is to wear one color throughout your outfit to make it look like you are wearing one vertical line as well. For example, we all know that black is slimming, so you could wear a black pencil skirt with opaque tights, heels and a form fitting black blouse. If this seems to dark for your liking, add a brightly colored scarf around your neck or vibrant jewelry. |  | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | HOW TO LOOK TALLER: Wear The Right Pant Length | Never purchase a pair of pants that are too loose or too short, because you will appear short and very stumpy. Instead, make sure that your pants are longer and form fitting. Shorter women will most likely need some hemming done to their pants if they are not a petite or short length. Hem your pants so they just brush the top of your shoes. If you have a pair of dark skinny jeans that stop right at your ankle, try wearing opaque tights with a matching pair of stiletto pumps. By doing this, you are giving the illusion that the pant leg is longer than it really is. |  | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | HOW TO LOOK TALLER: Wear V-Neck Shirts and Vertical Accessories | When your neck is exposed, it gives you the appearance of being longer and leaner. Try wearing a V-neck top or sweater. If you are wearing a blazer or cardigan, be sure to leave it open to create a continuous vertical line. Think ‘long’ when it comes to accessories; long slinky scarves, long dangling earrings, long layered necklaces...etc. |  | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | HOW TO LOOK TALLER: Wear High Heels | When any of us feel short, all we need to do is put a pair of high heels on and we are instantly taller.

You can wear a pair of heels anytime you want to look a little taller, such as with pants or a sexy lean dress. |  | You may not be as tall as the runway models, but you sure can boost the illusion that you are taller with the things that you wear.
