Sometimes being the little one in the crowd isn't much fun. In fact, for many it's a source of ridicule and anxiety. It's hard to be recognized, and often leads to quietness or shyness because when you look small, you feel small. If you want people to remember you for more than your height, then use your wardrobe to make a big impression. The clothes you wear can add or detract from the appearance of height. For example, overweight people avoid wearing horizontal stripes, because it draws the eye across, bringing width into focus and giving the impression of more weight. By the same token, short people can use their clothing to make themselves appear taller and more substantial. Things to Avoid: If you want to appear taller, avoid clothing that breaks up your body. You want the eye to see one long, flowing form. Therefore, stay away from opposite or contrasting colours that break up the line of sight. You should also stay away from busy patterns and baggy clothing. Things to Embrace: Solid colours are your best friend! A single solid colour on both top and bottom are a great way to give height to your appearance, as the eye will naturally glide over the colour, making you appear taller. You don't need a single colour, but colours that match closely are preferred. Dark colours are often better, but most importantly, choose clothing that fits properly. Wearing clothing that appears loose or baggy will actually make you look smaller, because it gives the impression you are drowning in your clothing. If possible, wear form fitting or slightly snug clothing to give yourself definition and presence. Whether you're a man or woman, don't be afraid of high heels. Men can wear dress shoes with a slight heel, or you can use lifts of insoles to increase your height without being conspicuous about it. Most importantly, if you want to look tall, you'll have to walk tall. That means no slouching or slumping. Good posture and walking tall with your head up and eyes looking ahead will always leave a big impression. Discover more gorgeous beauty tips and advice at our beauty website.
