How to Look Taller With A Few Simple Fashion Choices

Not many people want to be short. But if you're born that way, there are some simple fashion advice and tips you can use on a daily basis to greatly help give the illusion of being much taller than you actually are. Some of the most successful short people in the world use these tips, including many Hollywood celebrities.

*Wear High Heels

This is not necessarily a tip for women only because there are companies that make shorter men look between two to five inches taller with shoes that have hidden platforms built into their soles. But whichever gender uses them, high heels will make among the most dramatic difference to the height of any short individual. They don't have to be expensive, designer heels, and they shouldn't be so highly raised that you feel and look awkward walking and standing in them. But they're a definite essential in your goal to look taller.

*Match Legwear with Shoes

If you coordinate the colour of your legwear with you shoes, it creates the visual dimension of increased height because of the longer, linear look that comes across. When you go shopping, be on the alert for the types of fashion legwear you enjoy wearing most and simply combine them with your favourite type of footwear. For example, if you're wearing a beige pair of pants, wear a matching colour beige pair of shoes. You don't need to spend much money at all to accomplish this height-increasing look as there are many choices out there in a wide variety of price ranges.

*Dress in One Colour

You can go one step further than the above tip and choose to dress yourself from top to bottom in all one colour. Two of the best colours to accomplish this goal with are the darker ones such as black and navy. You can use this monochromatic look with shoes such as wedges. Shoes should be a matching colour as well, and if you're wearing boots, make sure they're at least to the knee rather than flat ankle boots, which can make you look shorter and stout.

*Wear Vertical Lines

There are many varieties of men's and ladies jeans that are offered with subtle vertical lines. Wearing clothes with vertical as opposed to horizontal lines greatly increases the look of height of anyone wearing them. Many suits come with vertical stripes, as do tops and legwear. Vertical lines make the eye look upwards instead of across the body so you'll not only look taller but you'll look thinner too. Clothes of this nature can be either formal or informal, depending on the circumstance and the impression you want to make on people.

All of these fashion tips can help boost most anyone's height and confidence level at work or at social engagements. And when you feel better about yourself, you'll enjoy these fashion choices even more.
