5'1 and Wants to Look Taller

by Denisse
(NY)

Im about 5'1 slim and toned. Every time I get dressed I find ways to wear clothes that would make me look taller.

I love wearing heels so thats not an issue. My question is: Would wearing a short slim dress or long jeans make me look taller?

Any ideas?

How to Look Taller

Denisse,

a short slim dress will definitely make you look taller (and top it off with killer heels). Basically, showing more skin make you appear leaner and longer. Also the comparison between your height and the short dress make you look taller.

Long jeans would also make you look taller but you have to make sure that the hem and fit are perfect for your legs, height and proportions. Since you're short and toned, skinny/bootcut/and flare leg jeans will complement your figure compared to a pair of blazing wide leg jeans that will swamp you up and make you look shorter.

Alos, have in mind that wearing contrasting colors (ex. dark blue jeans and white top) will cut you in half and shorten your height. For your petite frame, a streamlined color combo will elongate your figure. Such as black jeans and dark brown top or sweater. However you can wear a white top with the dark colored jeans, but make sure you add a dark colored cardigan or jacket to "connect" with the bottom (jeans).

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
