Make sure that the flare jeans do not drag on the floor as this can make you look shorter rather than taller.
For example, go for a dress with a pencil line skirt that cinches at the waist. Take a pass on the baggy maxi dress.
If you are having trouble finding high-waisted garments, look for vintage styles. Many of them tend to have higher waists.
If your pants look like they’re sagging, this will make you look shorter overall. If you can’t get new pants, pull them up so that they don’t sag, and wear a belt to keep them up.
For example, go for a v-neck t-shirt with flared, high-waisted jeans. When wearing a button down, leave a few buttons undone and fold the corners of the shirt over to create a v-neck.
For example, if you’re wearing a dress shirt and dress pants to work, tuck in the shirt for a professional look that lengthens your frame.
For example, go for a suit with a slim, form-fitted jacket that’s tighter around the sleeves.
For example, stay away from big, bulky sweaters in the winter. Instead, go for sweaters that hug your figure.
When choosing heels, opt for nude-colored ones, or match them to your tights. This will help stretch your legs out even more.
Go for jackets and cardigans that fall above your bottom. For example, if you wear a suit to the office, look for one with a shorter jacket that comes down just to your hips.
For example, black pants can be paired with black socks.
For example, if you have big, brown eyes, opt for a brown scarf or hat.
For example, if you have a dress that’s a little looser around the middle, cinch it at the waist with a slim-fitted belt.
For example, if you’re wearing a black sweater with black dress pants, pair it with a skinny black belt and scarf.
Be aware of your posture throughout the day so you can catch yourself slouching.
To stretch your chin, do chin tucks. Sit straight with your shoulders held back and pull your chin straight back to give yourself a double chin. Hold this for 30 seconds. Repeat this process three times. To work your hips, take a break from your desk to get up. Kneel on one knee an arm’s length away from a wall. Press onto the wall and press down on the knee on the floor. Hold for several seconds and then switch knees and repeat.
