How To Look Taller, in 3 Easy Steps
From one petite girl to another, (That’s right, I’m only 5’1, that’s 156 cm…) the struggle is real when you want to wear all the amazing pieces that your height gifted friends are able to pull off. With a lot of trial and practice, I’ve perfected the easiest ways to make yourself look taller no matter what. All you need is three very simple things! Firstly, always opt for a V- neck or a sweet heart neck. It elongates the upper half of your body and prevents you from looking stunted. Crop tops are also a perk if it’s summer as they have the same effect! (Ariana Grande’s Love Me Harder video is playing in the background and I can see her wearing a crop top and looking mighty tall – she’s pretty much my height!) I opted for this House of Sunny crop top that also has a v neck! The perfect top for a petite girl! Secondly, high waists are your number one friend. Whether it’s a paper bag waist or not, a high waisted item will always elongate your figure. Additionally, when going for something high waisted, go for a cinched waist. By adding definiton around your waist, like I did with my belted Tibi pants, you give your silhouette definition and shape. This makes you look taller. Lastly, the simplest way to make yourself look taller is with a pair of pointed toed shoes. I actually only learnt this trick recently when I bought my all time favourite Jimmy Choo flats. They have a pointed toe and no matter what I wear them with, I look taller. I’m not sure what it is about pointed toes that do the trick, but the fact that it works is enough for me!
