Wearing high waist bottoms are the best way to help elongate your legs and accentuate your figure. Pair your high waisted shorts, skirt or bottoms with a tee for a day-to-day casual look or with a stylish shirt for a chic day-out look.

Tuck that TOP in!

Tucking in your tops will help in making your legs look longer and would also give a neater look to your overall style. Opt for a fitted top with slimmer sleeves to streamline your figure further for an elegant look.

Choose vertical stripes

Wearing vertical stripes makes your body appear longer than it actually is and also gives you an adequate slimming effect. On the contrary, wearing horizontal stripes can make you look shorter than you actually are, so maintain your distance from horizontal stripes if you wish to add a lil' illusion of tallness to your look.

Prefer v-necks and off-shoulders over EVERYTHING

V-necks and 0ff -shoulders have a charm of their own that can grab eyeballs, drawing their eyes towards the upward di8rection and creating depth that enhances your shoulder area. This also helps create the illusion that you are looking taller than usual.

Spread the word with your short but cute friends and help them get the ideal look!
