How to Look Taller For Petite Women

Do not be discouraged by the fact that you are not the tallest in the crowd, who wants to be that tall anyway? Petite women have their benefits as well and can easily look taller with some simple guidance.

With fashion, we are able to adjust our appearance in almost every possible way. Height is no different and can be altered with proper use of fashion.

1. Hairstyle. This is extremely important whether you know it or not. How your hairstyle looks can alter the illusion of height. Imagine yourself with a short haircut, try looking in the mirror and tuck your excess hair away so that it only reaches down to your chin. Your face looks rounder and shorter, correct? Longer hair will make your face look longer and in most cases, your body as well. Having your hair up can also make you taller.

2. Heels & Pumps. This is a given, wearing 5 inch heels or pumps will make you taller. Just be mindful of the occasion when you are wearing high heels. If you are spending a lot of time outdoors or standing/walking, you should avoid this.

3. Wearing a maxi dress. The maxi dress is a long dress that goes down as far as to your ankles. This long dress may as well be designed intentionally for the purpose of making you look taller. It has always made me look taller. If you don't believe me, try one on or do a quick google image search to see for yourself. Not only does the maxi dress make you look taller, it can also make you look slimmer as well (if that is another look that you're shooting for).

4. Wearing high waisted jeans. Most people today don't own a pair of these, we're in the 21st century. Though there are smart and fashionable petite women who do. High waisted jeans with a shorter top or blouse will cast the illusion of longer legs. Pair this with the heels and you'll look significantly taller. This has worked for me in many cases where I ran into a friend after not having seen them for a few years. They'd make a comment on how I've grown taller (which I haven't really).

5. Avoid large bags. Avoid large Long Champ bags, we all love them. We are petite, so wearing anything gigantic will only make us smaller. Go with a small shoulder bag or at most a mid-sized purse.

6. Wear a thin belt. This only applies if your bottoms or your dress is made to have a belt. Thick belts will make you look smaller.

Be mindful that being short or petite is not a bad thing. We should cherish the genes that are hereditary to us.
