Step 1
Select a monochromatic palette when choosing clothes. One color family from head to toe tricks the eye and brain into thinking "long and lean."
-
Step 2
Select pieces that won't break up your body into blocks. Women, choose a long lean dress, or no-waist pants and skirts; men, opt for thin belts the same color as your trousers.
-
Step 3
Go for well-tailored looks, princess seams and darts. A looser fit can often look wider.
-
Step 4
Pick vertical detailing: thin stripes, visible seams, interesting buttons and contrasting ties.
-
Step 5
Wear heels. The new square heels and stacked slides are more comfortable than stilettos ever were, so take advantage.
-
Step 6
Great posture is an easy way to add height, or the appearance of it.
-
Step 7
Lose weight if you're heavy. Slim will always look longer.

on 9/26/2008 Great tips. And also long necklaces help. Like 30" chains or even a bit longer.
