It amazes me when I see short men dress up in a way that instead of highlighting their assets, makes them look even shorter.
For the unaware, here are a few tips that can help you look taller instantaneously.
1. Wear Vertical Stripes: Vertical stripes help to elongate your body and thus, make you look taller. Vertical stripes are also great for hiding any excess fat around your mid-section. On the other hand, horizontal strips have the opposite effect and you must avoid them like the plague.
2. Shoes: A shoe with an inch or so of heel can instantaneously add to your height. If you’re truly desperate, you can also buy elevator shoes or insoles that can increase your height even more. Conversely, ditch your flat soled shoes; your Chucks won’t add anything to your height (Read about Height Increasing Shoes here)
3. Hair: Short and spiky hair help your neck look longer and thus, make you look taller. On the other hand, long hair can cover your neck and make you look significantly shorter.
4. Dark Colors: Dark colors such as brown, black can be great for giving the impression of a longer, leander body. Try and wear shirts and trousers of the same color, preferably solid dark colors, as it can make you appear much taller than your actual height. On the other hand, avoid lighter shades.
5. Shorts: If you’re wearing shorts, make sure that they don’t end mid-knee or mid-calf; it can make your legs appear shorter.
Keep in mind that these are only cosmetic changes; to actually get taller, try a height increase program like Dr. Smith’s program here.
