Steps
- Choose the right jackets - When picking out jackets, go for ones that end where your buttocks meet your legs. And pick single-breasted over double-breasted, which can make you look shorter by making you look wider. (26 sec. )
- Wear V-neck shirts - Wear V-neck shirts, which elongate your frame. (38 sec. )
- Avoid wearing baggy tops, which can make you look like a box: wide and short. (42 sec. )
- Wear long pants - Wear pants that reach the bottom of your heel. Stay away from cuffed pants, capris, and cargoes. (48 sec. )
- Select pointy shoes - Select pointed-toe shoes over round-toed ones; the former blend in better with your pants, so your leg line remains unbroken. (55 sec. )
- Elevator insoles are a discreet way of adding an inch or two to your height. (64 sec. )
- Ditch the belts - Go without belts; they cut your body in half, ruining the long line you want. (69 sec. )
- Wear one color - Wear one color so your torso and legs blend together. (75 sec. )
- Heavier fabrics tend to make you look bulkier and shorter. Whenever possible, opt for light- or medium-weight fabrics. (80 sec. )
- Style your hair - Let your hair help you look taller. For ladies, that means upsweep styles and a little teasing on top. For men, it means keeping your hair short. (88 sec. )
- Take up yoga or Pilates - Take yoga or Pilates classes; both have been shown to help people look taller by improving their posture. (97 sec. )
- Studies repeatedly show that tall men earn more than short men. (105 sec. )
