Why Shoe Lifts Are a Bad Idea

by Hayden Carter

Shoe Lifts Are A Bad IdeaA lot of guys that want to increase their height start off with the right goal in mind: they begin to research how to get taller naturally – meaning that they want to actually become taller – not just “fake” being taller.

However, probably because of the tons of misinformation and outright scams that litter the internet on the issue of height increase, many of these men scrap the entire idea of growing taller and instead opt to take the “easy” way out and succumb to the allure of false insoles – or shoe lifts – thinking that it will give them the illusion of height.

by Hayden Carter

How to Look Taller Part 4 - Suits and JacketsIf your job calls for you to wear a suit (or at least a tucked in shirt and a tie) then unfortunately, the chances are pretty high that you’re dressing yourself for “failure” in terms of accenting your height.  And we’ve all heard about the studies that have proven, time and time again, how taller guys get paid more.  Knowing that, don’t you agree that dressing in a way that is flattering and keeps you from looking short is worth it?  Yeah, me too.

How to Look Taller Part 3 – Pants

by Hayden Carter

How to Look Taller Part 3 - PantsJust like your shirts, your pants must fit well in order to look taller.  Above and beyond anything else that you will get out of the How to Look Taller section of the Grow Taller Blog, remember that one thing: your clothes must fit well.

Pants should be long and narrow (but not overly skinny) to give you a leaner, taller look.  The waistband should rest at your hips, which will add the illusion of length.  Never, ever wear your pants so that the waistband is too high.  Conversely, you should avoid wearing extremely low-rise pants and jeans as well, in spite of what may be fashionable at the moment.  These types of jeans can make your legs appear 2 inches shorter or even more.

How to Look Taller Part 2 – Shirts

by Hayden Carter

How to Look Taller Part 2 - ShirtsWhen dressing for height, a proper fit is the key to success.  Your clothes should fit as flawlessly as possible.  Looser, baggy clothes can you make you look disheveled and stumpy.  Your clothes should never be ill-fitting or baggy because you want to create the “up-and-down” line with as little interruption as possible.  This effect goes a long way to creating a lengthy form.

One other problem that baggy clothes presents for someone that wants to learn how to look taller is that it gives the illusion that you are swimming in your clothes or as if the clothes were borrowed from an older brother or an uncle.  This perpetuates an unconscious image of a “little boy” – an image that is so often firmly set in the heads of people (particularly women) when they think of shorter men.   [click to continue...]

How to Look Taller Part 1 – How to Appear Taller

by Hayden Carter

How to Look Taller Part 1 - How to Appear TallerI feel the need to start this post with a brief disclaimer:  I am NOT a fashion genius.  In fact, I’m pretty much quite the contrary.  On any given day, you’d be hard-pressed to find me wearing anything fancier than a pair of my favorite jeans and a comfortable T-shirt.

However, I have found over the years that there are times that “clothes make the man” (or woman).  By that, I don’t mean that one has to be a hopeless slave to fashion or trends, but that by taking an extra bit of care in selecting the clothes that they wear every day – from formal wear to casual – you can make an immense impact on the way that others see you.  And even the way that you see yourself; especially if you learn how to look taller.
