Tucking in your tops helps to make your legs look longer and overall creates a neater look. Choose a fitting top with slimmer sleeves to streamline your figure even more.

Opt For Vertical Stripes

Wearing vertical stripes makes your body seem longer than it really is and also has a slimming effect. Conversely, wearing horizontal stripes can make you shorter than you really are so stay away from horizontal stripes if you want to look taller!

Wear V-Necks And Off-Shoulders

V-necks and off-shoulders have a way of drawing people's eyes upwards by creating depth that enhances your shoulders. This creates the illusion that you are taller than you really are!
