Make yourself bigger
The quickest and simplest solution is to literally gain a few centimeters in length. This can be done, for example, by wearing higher shoes. Ladies can of course choose heels and men can opt for shoes with, for example, a slightly higher sole. Please note that you do not wear extremely high shoes or heels. Too large an increase will soon no longer be proportional to the rest of your body. This will actually draw attention to your shoes. It makes more sense to have the point of attention as high as possible, because this makes you appear taller.
Wear vertical lines
Another very well-known clothing tip for smaller people is to wear vertical lines. By choosing vertical lines you appear taller. You can optionally emphasize the vertical lines with the help of accessories or jewelry. Absolutely do not wear horizontal lines in your clothing. Horizontal lines make you look wider and not taller!
Make legs look longer
To make your legs look as long as possible, you obviously need to have as much of your legs visible as possible. So don’t wear pants with a lower crotch or a low waist, such as hip pants. This makes it appear as if your legs are shorter. Don’t wear wide trousers either, but choose tight trousers (stretch or slim fit). For ladies, a skirt with a slit and skirts with a tight vertical pleat make the legs appear longer. Do not wear a jacket, shirt or top that falls partly over the legs. With a short jacket, shirt or top you achieve the best optical effect. By the way, for ladies, a short jacket together with a short skirt does not give a good effect. This is because such a combination means too many interruptions of the longitudinal lines.
Make upper body appear longer
If you want to make your upper body appear shorter, it is best to wear a tighter shirt or top. A V-neck has a vertical direction and is therefore recommended if you want to appear taller. Do not wear too many layers on top of each other. Too many layers make your body wider and therefore optically shorter.
To colour
Wear clothes that are not too contrasting in color. Otherwise the vertical length line will be broken off too much. For example, for ladies, a plain dress has a positive effect on your optical height. This is of course further enhanced when the dress has a vertical line motif.
