Did you know that it’s possible to instantly appear to be inches taller simply by changing your wardrobe? By cleverly organizing the visual elements of your clothes, you can manipulate the way your body is perceived and make yourself appear to be taller than you actually are. Here’s a few simple tips to get you started:
- Avoid clothes with horizontal lines. Belts are horizontal so make sure you conceal it in your clothes.
- Avoid clothes with a tartan or checked pattern.
- Wear clothes with vertical lines or striping. Vertical lines make a person appear thinner, and thinness in turn gives the impression of more height.
- Avoid wearing sharply contrasting clothes and pants together, these will easily expose the real length of your legs and make you look shorter.
- Wear shoes that make you appear taller. If you’re a female, this should be easy since you can find a lot of shoes with 2 or 3 inch heels. For males, wear shoes with thick soles to add the illusion of height.
- Avoid clothes that are made from heavy and bulky fabric. They add width and hence shorten the image visually
