How to look taller?

[matilda]

I'm short to, about 5'4. My tip besides wearing heels is to never wear folded pants!!!

[piflacoco]

get some lifts and ask tom cruise where he get his shoes

[Kimkhuu]

I think the best tip is not to wear big wedges or platforms...

[fashionista-ta]

A narrow monochromatic silhouette really helps ... and heels as you've already mentioned.

This is probably not the point of the discussion but losing even a little bit of weight will make a lot of difference. Don't wear corsets or things that pull in your waist because the hourglass effect will make you look shorter

For me, it's usually long tops or shirts...

Folded pants? Like folding the ends of your pants in so they fit?

I think that not slouching is a good trick...
I feel taller when I stand/walk straight.

same here! Nice long flowy tops..so very flattering on my body. And a hot pair of jeans because apparently I have a "cute ***" (or so my guy friend told me today? )

Good posture (which can come as a result of confidence!!) and high heels of course.

ohhhh i have the same problem, i always wear high heels and short jackets and no baggy clothes.

im really short too (5'2) so i always have problems finding pants that fit me right because i usually need to get them fixed to make the lengths shorter. boo.

I really agree! Well, if you mean folding the pants under to make them short? That really makes you look shorter. I see too many short girls doing that, and that makes them look even more shorter than they already are! Esp their legs look sooo short and weird.

And DO NOT wear baggy clothes. I also see a lot of short girls doing that, and they all ends up looking shorter. It does no good. I really agree with much of what's said above: wear fitting clothes!

I'm all for vertical stripes, that makes you look taller. I'm 5'10 and don't really need to look taller, but when I use pants with vertical stripes, my legs look even more long.

You're not alone. I try to get them tailored, but I'm just too lazy...

im 5'3 as well but everyone always thinks im taller.
have good posture, confidence, always wear jeans that fit in length! shuffling around in too long jeans makes everyone look shorter!

my sister's friend thought i was at least 5'6/5'7 by looking at my pictures. know when to wear heels. if you are going to be around tall ppl, then heels are a requirement!
