How to lengthen the silhouette?

A fundamental and generic trick to achieving looks that will make you look long is to get the color right.

Monochrome productions create a horizontal line in the look by stretching it. But you don't have to wear the same color from head to toe. Always coordinate the pieces based on the same tone (light or dark). Thus, sudden color changes will not create vertical cuts that flatten the silhouette.

Another way to achieve an elongated look is to use loose handkerchiefs that fall vertically or print with thin vertical stripes. By contrast, run away from ruffles, bows or childish figures, so as not to make a wrong impression with the production.

And if you want to mark the waist following the ladylike trend, prefer waisted looks just below the bust.

Make the right choice of top

To look taller, pay attention to the type of necklines of your blouses and coats. V-shaped models elongate the neck and give you the impression of thinness that consequently makes you longer.

Also opt for pieces that draw attention to the region of the neck and shoulders, to divert focus from height. Good examples are crafted collars, wide sleeves and different fabrics.

This trick is not suitable, however, for those with larger breasts. In this case, prefer darker colors to make up the top of the look, as well as pieces such as simple and masculine modeling vests to give the finishing touch to t-shirts or tops.

Shorter lengths, longer appearance

For shorties, the most suitable skirt and shorts models are short or minis. That's because the more skin you show, the taller you tend to look. However, if your legs are not in optimal shape, the important thing is not to be in the middle: always opt for pieces with length just above or below the knee or below the ankle.

This means that small women can, yes, wear the long skirt. But it is worth noting the details when choosing. Prefer those with heavier A-shaped fabrics. Another tip is to use them with super heels, which will be hidden, giving the impression that you are taller.

Those who want to wear skirts and short shorts in winter can enjoy the color of the pantyhose also to lengthen the silhouette. The trick is to always wear the darker ones or in the same tone as your shoes.

For trousers, always choose straight models of dark colors (especially those with larger hips). The trend of short pants does not favor the short, because they are above the ankle. But if you can't resist this kind of clothing, choose more open-mouthed and straight-fitting pieces, always wearing monochromatic looks and shoes that expose the insteps, like sneakers.

Not only in high heels live the short. Certain types of platforms even weigh the look and flatten the appearance.

The secret is how much the shoe hides your feet. The higher the toe (front covering the toes) of the shoe, the lower you will be. Therefore, sneakers, boots and oxfords are not advised.

In contrast, the dreaded ballet flats are released. This is because the area of ​​the exposed foot is visually attached to the leg, giving the impression that you are taller.

To circumvent the effect of closed shoes, abuse skin-colored models or increase the length of clothing.

The boots deserve special attention. In general, the rule is to choose models with close knee or ankle boots, which are the ankle boots.

In the case of high boots, the secret is to wear them with striking blouses that shift the focus of the feet and three fingers below the knee, especially to put them over the pants.

The accessory also makes a difference

When it's time to add the finishing touch to the look with the accessories, the shorty should be careful. Everything that is big for the taller will get even bigger for you by flattening it.

So opt for medium or small earrings, necklaces and belts. The bag should preferably have long handles and not be max size so that you do not hide it while you carry it.

It is also worth the tip of valuing the face with a powerful makeup and large earrings: this way, it will be difficult for someone to notice your height.
