Tips for Women
-
1
Choose colors of clothing that will give you a slim and tall form. Incorporate darker colors like black, navy and gray into your wardrobe. Pay attention to the fabrics by avoiding large textures or clingy tight material.
-
2
Wear body slimmers, corsets or girdles to tighten up and conceal some of the fullness of the shape. Consider the fit of everyday underwear. Get a regular bra fitting to ensure that you haven't increased or decreased in size and purchase a brand that is reliable and complements a woman's figure. The idea is to decrease the width of your waist and lengthen your height.

Use accessories as a pleasant diversion from other parts of your body. Necklaces, scarves, nice earrings and a fashionable handbag will do the trick.
-
4
Wear high heels that will give the appearance of elongating your legs. If a round-toe shoe or chunky, flat shoes are worn, this will make your frame look stubby. Platform heels can give the body height and a thin look.
Tips for Men
-
5
Avoid clothing with lots of horizontal and vertical patterns and colors. A solid color will elongate your frame. Avoid dark colors and instead stick with light fabrics. Wear t-shirts that show your neck because hiding your neck will make you look stubby.
-
6
Keep your hair cut short. Long hair can hide your neck, making it look shorter, and gives the overall appearance of decreasing the look of your frame.
-
7
Wear shoes that have a thick sole at the bottom. Avoid platform shoes. Instead, find insoles that suit your tastes and give you height.
-
8
Develop good posture. Standing up straight with your head held high can not only add to your height, but demonstrate a sense of confidence. Avoid slouching or slumping down. To practice better poise, take pilates or yoga classes.
-
9
Wear pinstripe suits that are customized to fit your frame. Pay attention to the color, your collar, and the amount of buttons on the suit. A three-button style will give a much taller appearance.
