Straight Leg jeans – Tips on How to Look Taller

Summary by Jennifer Wasilewski, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

Vertical Lines: A great way to add length to your appearance is to tactfully introduce vertical stripes to your wardrobe. Try on a vertical striped shirt and notice how it elongates your upper half. When you’re shopping, look for pairs that have visible stitching down the outer leg – this will help to add length. If you’re wearing a vertical striped shirt then wear a simple pair of skinny jeans.

Straight Leg/Skinny Jeans: A great way to elongate your legs is to wear skinny jeans or straight leg jean. This trendy style will create a vertical line from your hips down and therefore work to elongate the appearance of your body.
Avoid: Skinny and straight leg jeans are meant to accentuate your body, not draw attention to parts you don’t like. If you’re extremely concerned with your height choose heels over flats. Pencil Skirts: Wearing pencil skirt has basically the same effect as skinny or straight leg jeans. Avoid: Skirts that are extremely long and especially baggy.
Avoid: Wearing shirts that are made from a thick or bulky fabrics.
