1. Wear high waisted pants and skirts

For maximum height, try to wear higher waisted skirt or pants. High waisted pants create the illusion of height and an elongated leg. If you are shorter in stature, you should stay away from hip pant styles.

2. Wear monochromatic colors

You can easily lengthen the line of your body by wearing monochromatic colors. When you wear a different colored top and bottom, you can visually cut your body in half that makes you look shorter. This is especially true if one color is dark and the other light. Instead try to wear a monochromatic outfit in one shade of pants and shirt or skirt and shirt. It creates a long, lean line adding the illusion of height to your body. Remember monochromes will make you look longer!

3. Wear dark colors

A slim black pants and black top with the right accessories and black high heels can give a long, lean line that’s really great for plenty of occasions. Moreover, dark colors make you look thinner and that’s an added bonus!

4. Choose your shoe carefully

Just because you are a short woman, it doesn’t mean that you have to wear stiletto heels every day. Choose a comfortable shoe with a moderate heel and hose that matches your outfit.

5. Avoid Capri pants and flared pants

If you wear pants that cover your shoe, you will appear to be taller. The popular Capri pants can make you look shorter so don’t even think about them! Avoid flared pants. Instead, wear straight pants if you want to look taller.

6. Choose a thin belt

Bulky, thick belts can cut the length of your body and make you look shorter. That’s why you have to choose a thinner belt, of course, if you wear belts at all. Stay away from a belt in a color which contrasts with a shade of your outfit. You need to maintain a simple, clean line!
