Dear Anton,I have a petite figure and would like to elongate my look. Do you have any tips to remedy my lack of height?
-Heidi
Dear Heidi,The first thing to look at is posture. The stance you’ll want to take is one with your shoulders back, tush tucked, head high, and tummy in. Maintaining good posture will not only give you a taller and slimmer appearance, it also takes a lot of strain from your spine that could cause health problems later on.
If you still want to add a few extra inches to your frame, pop on out to the mall and find a pair of medium height heels in nude or beige, or any colour to match your skin tone. Anything from a stiletto to a boot (reference Irregular Choice’s Button Up Boot in Beige) in this colour will create one long silhouette, thus creating the illusion of a taller you. Not to mention the hue goes with nearly everything.
Another item to try is the classic slim cut pinstripe pant. Wide leg trousers should be avoided, as should any sort baggy clothes. These will only work to make you look even shorter. A pair like the Cocktail Trouser in Brown from Georgie Pant will lengthen the look of your legs and, as a result, your entire silhouette.
I hope this helps,
Anton
