Look Taller With Your Wardrobe

By Ellen Roberts

You can make yourself look taller by wearing height-increasing footwear or apparatuses such as lifts, thicker insoles, elevator shoes, and shoes with thicker soles. There are so many specially designed shoes on the market that can give you a height advancement of two inches, while still being completely discreet. You want them high enough so it actually makes a difference, but you don't want to give off the wrong image or be completely ineffective for everyday activities (like walking). This is where taste comes into play - you have to make the call. You probably don't want to opt for heels higher than three-and-a-half or four inches.

You can also use your clothes to make you look taller. Vertical stripe clothes and wearing dark color pants and skirts to help you to look taller. The darker the color of the bottoms the longer your legs will look. This will also have a slimming effect as well and will help you to look like you lost about five pounds.

For casual occasions, wearing a nice, dark wash, boot-cut jean with a good heel really elongates the leg and definitely makes you look taller than you are. Apart from the heel, the long, slightly flared pant leg stretches your legs and makes you look taller. Pick bottoms that either stop above the knee or are full length to your ankles to help you to look taller as you go through your day.

You don't have to wear skin tight jeans, but wear clothes that are more fitting to your body style. Wearing clothes that fit you better will help make your body look thinner and longer. This can add an effect that makes you look taller.

Long dress pants for a more professional setting with a slight boot-cut over nice dress shoes succeed in giving you height. Straight, wide-leg pant with perhaps a pinstripe to really accentuate the length of the leg is another way to go with the business-wear.

With simple solutions between short and tall the possibilities are virtually limitless to different styles, outfits, and looks.
