Gallery: How to Look Taller in 7 Simple Steps
Let’s face it—height is sexy. But while you can’t do anything about how tall you are, you can change how tall you look. How you dress affects people’s perception of your stature. So change their thoughts from “man, he looks short” to “man, he looks sharp” with these simple style hacks. Photo: iStock/PeopleImages
1. Wear vertical patterns. Our eyes naturally follow the paths of patterns. Clothing with vertical lines elongates your body as people’s eyes travel upward. Photo: iStock/EzumeImages
2. Make your accessories proportional. Chunky belts and thick ties overpower your smaller frame. Think slim for all of your outfit add-ons. Photo: iStock/UberImages
3. Choose one color. Changing colors (like from your shirt to your pants) visually chops up your body and makes you seem even shorter. A cohesive outfit built around the same-ish colors helps you appear taller. A navy blue shirt with dark jeans and dark shoes is a perfect outfit. If you are going to wear different colors, pick darker pants and lighter shirts—people’s eyes will be drawn to the lighter color and this will lengthen your look. Photo: iStock/bernardbodo
4. Focus on the fit. Leave the baggy clothes to ’90s rappers. Loose clothing will visually swallow you up. Take the time to find form-fitting clothes (even hem your pants or tailor your nicer shirts and jackets, if necessary). Photo: iStock/shironosov
5. Draw attention to your face. When people focus on your upper half, they'll be less likely to notice your short legs. Use accessories like pocket squares, a scarf or even a hat to attract eyeballs. Avoid or minimize accessories that draw the eye downward, though, like watches and belts. Photo: iStock/Anchiy
6. Avoid short sleeves. Unfortunately, short sleeves just exaggerate the fact that your arms are shorter than the arms of a taller man. If you can stand the heat, opt for a thin long sleeve shirt with the cuffs rolled up a bit. Bonus: Many women find the rolled sleeves thing attractive. Photo: iStock/PeopleImages
7. Layer strategically. Layering can really help or hurt your look. Bulky layers will shrink you right up. But slim-fitting layers add important lines elongating your stature. Wear the lightest color first and add darker layers on top. Photo: iStock/PeopleImages
