Not all of us are blessed with a good height but who doesn't wish to look tall and lean. We all do. Right? One of the easiest ways to look tall and slim is by wearing a pair of chic heels but well, not everyone is comfortable walking in those heels. While some of us find it painful, others are medically not fit to wear such footwear.
What solution are we left with then? Well, some quick fashion hacks can give that illusion of height and make you look taller even when you are not wearing heels.
1. Always Pick Nude Coloured Footwear
Nude colour footwear not only looks classy with every outfit but also makes you look taller. Your shoes can make or break your look, especially if you have shorter legs. Pick a pair of nude flats. They will give an illusion that your legs are longer. While selecting your footwear, make sure the nude colour matches close to your natural skin tone.
2. Wear One Colour From Head To Toe
Another easy trick to look taller and leaner is by picking a monochrome look. Monochrome dressing is basically wearing one single colour from head to toe. Opt for darker shades if possible, like black or brown which also give an appearance of a slimmer look.
3. Tuck In Your Shirts, Tees
How do you like to keep your tee or shirt with a pair of pants? It can make a whole lot of difference in your entire look. If you leave them loose, untucked, they will make your legs appear shorter. However, if you tuck in your shirt or tee, your legs will appear longer than they are. You can go for a full tuck or half tuck where you only tuck in from the front and leave the rest of the fabric loose. (Look slim in a banarasi saree)
4. Start Wearing Vertical Stripes
The kind of stripes, prints you carry can make you look taller or shorter. One easy styling hack to look taller is wearing vertical stripes. Vertical stripes make you look much taller. You can either wear a shirt or kurta with vertical stripes or carry a pair of pants in vertical stripes. The first one would make your torso look longer and the other one would add length to your legs.
5. Choose Shorter Dresses
If you are fond of carrying easy-breezy dresses then pick the ones which have hemlines above your knee. This is an easy trick to look taller if you are comfortable with the length. When you wear dresses, skirts which are above your knee, you look taller.

Take out a few strands from the front. This will give an illusion that you are much taller than your actual height.
7. Don High Rise Denims
High rise denim is trending these days but that's not the only reason you should be carrying them this season. High rise denims always make you look taller. This is because high rise denims fit at a higher place on your body which makes your legs appear longer. Try incorporating high rise bottoms in your closet, they will not only make you look tall but also are super comfortable to wear.
8. Wear Straight Leg Bottom Wear
When choosing a trouser, denim or jogger, make sure the fit is straight. Avoid going for cropped, bell-bottom style bottoms which make your legs appear shorter. When you wear straight leg bottoms, they fall straight down your leg, giving you a taller appearance. Make sure you don't wear extra-long pants, denim as they can make your legs appear short.
