Tall Fashion Trick (*for SHORT people)

Perceptive height is the visually perceived height that creates an illusion of looking taller.Here are some tips for you!

• Dark neutral colors make you look thinner and taller.Navy and black are perfect examples of dark neutral colors.
• Monochromatic dressing is a very effective trick that makes everybody looks slimmer and taller instantly. Instead try out a look in one color. Same colored top and skirt or a long monochromatic evening gown. This would create an illusion of a taller look.

• Keep the jacket somewhat short, which will help make your legs appear longer. Choose patterns that stress vertical lines.  High waisted trousers and jeans help you appear taller.
  
• Pants should have long rise, and the waist should sit at natural waistline. A belt underneath a paunch only accentuates the weight and makes legs look shorter.  
• Avoid double-breasted coats, pocket flaps and single vents as these styles will make you look heavier.  
• Evade wearing extremely flared or bell bottom pants. They would make you look even shorter. Try to wear jeans or pants that cover your shoes but shouldn’t be flared from bottom. 
• Another tip is to avoid wearing Capri pants. They also cut your height and make you look short.
• Shorter hair generally makes you look taller. When the neck shows, the figure looks elongated. Anything bulky around the neck will make you look shorter.
    
• Wear lean belt instead of those chunky ones.
• Avoid wearing garments made from stiff materials. Stiff fabrics will make you look square and boxy. Similarly bulky fabrics simply add mass, making your body look bulkier and shorter. Always go for the finer, lighter weight variety. 
• Ties have to be the right length. After being tied, the tips of the tie should reach the waistband of the trousers. 
• A very long overcoat will only overwhelm your frame and make your legs look shorter. It’s better for you to have a little distance between the hem of your coat and the floor, so get a topper coat just long enough to cover a suit jacket should you need it to.
• If you choose to wear belt with jeans make sure the belt is a casual one. Any belt you’d wear with one of your best suits isn’t one that you wear with jeans. With jeans, stick with cloth or flat leather instead of a polished leather. Another thing to remember is to avoid wearing cuffed jeans. Cuffs shorten the leg’s appearance especially when they’re a contrasting color.
•   It is better for short people to tuck in their shirts. Leaving it untucked and long just serves to shorten you by creating the illusion of shorter legs. Tucking in not only looks neat but prevents you from looking like you’re an eight-year old wearing one of Dad’s button-front shirts for art class.
