Having a shorter top and longer bottom will give the illusion of longer legs. High-waisted bottoms are your best friend as they make your waist look higher and your legs longer. Keep your tops tucked in or wear something cropped to look taller as well.

#2 Loose Top, Tight Bottoms

A looser top and tight-fitting bottoms will make your legs look slim and long. Besides, wearing a loose top allows you to hide your upper body fats, streamlining your figure even more. You can even wear a jacket to further trim your figure.

For petite girls, you don't want to wear skirts that are knee-length because it makes your legs look short and stout. Either go for short skirts at least a palm above the knees or skirts that go all the way down to your ankles to look taller.
