How to Appear Taller When You’re Petite
With Short Legs
 I
am very short (4ft, 11inches) and have
short legs. What can I wear to make
myself look taller and long legged? (Nantwich, Cheshire, England)

 It’s
not as difficult as it seems to create
the appearance of height. When you’re
vertically challenged, the best way to
look taller is to stick to a single
color from head to toe, or monochromatic
colors that blend well together. Once a
color break is introduced, your body
automatically becomes visually
divided,
and that will accentuate your petiteness.
The
trick to create the illusion of longer
legs is to draw the eye upwards. Keep
to well-fitting, streamlined
clothing.
Again, favor matching or monochromatic
colors that do not create a body
variance. Opt, for natural waist pants
or skirts are a slight bit fuller in the
tush and upper thigh to visually
lengthen the lower torso. If you have
great legs, keep your hemline short.
Here’s a no-brainer: avoid super flat
shoes and, instead, select a low to mid
size heel height. Always be sure that
your pants break over your shoe instep
to create the illusion of a longer leg.
Stay away from anything extremely tight
that emphasizes the break between your
butt and thighs. Over-sized clothing
will only drown you. Avoid low-waisted
or hiphugger pants that lengthen the
torso. Just be sure that your clothes
and accessories create a tonal, fluid
appearance and you’ll look great.
