How to Look Tall when You Are Short

Being short can be very embarrassing, especially after the elementary years; however there are easy ways to appear taller.

[edit] Steps

  1. Wear mini skirts. Make sure your skirts hit above the knee, the more leg you show the longer your legs will look!
    • Wear straight leg jeans rather than skinny jeans. Straight leg jeans make your legs appear longer and leaner.
  2. Wear heels. The length of these shoes boosts your height.
  3. Always Sit Up Straight. This helps to smooth out any buldges and lumps in clothing and makes you look taller and leaner.
  4. Wear sleeveless tops. They will show off long arms, again contributing to the tall appearance.
  5. Lose Weight If Necessary Having excess weight on a petite body will only make it look shorter. Being thin creates a lanky appearance, thus making you look taller.


[edit] Tips

  • Go out and get some exercise each day. Doing yoga stretches and lengthens your muscles giving you a longer and leaner appearance.


[edit] Warnings

  • Don't wear baggy jeans or wide leg jeans, they will over power your tiny frame!
  • Don't wear you hair too long. Hair longer than 10in-14in on a petite frame will over power it.
