Let’s face it! Having to wear heels everyday is just a pain. It’s painful, uncomfortable, and hard to walk in. Petite girls may go through forced to wear them just so they might look taller, but the best part is that you could incorporate other styling techniques to add height even in flats. Yes, you heard us right. You could still create the illusion to be longer without having to wear heels. It’s all about being mindful about the clothes you choose out and even as simple as wearing the right pair of comfy flats. Here are some easy tips to looking taller in flats.
1. Find the correct shoes
Just because you’re wearing flats doesn’t mean you can’t provide the illusion of height. Choose the right pair of shoes that matches your skin tone and go for one with a pointed toe.
2. Show off your ankles
Always opt for jeans, skirts, or dresses that expose your ankles. So if you want to wear your trusty pair of jeans, try cuffing them in the ankle or go for a midi skirt that you love pairing with a basic white tee.
3. Go monochromatic
Dressing up in one color does not only give a lot of height, but it also takes a lot of decision-making out of the process. Just choose pieces which are the same hue!
4. Wear vertical stripes
This is most likely not the first time you’ve heard this tip, but wearing vertical stripes tricks the eyes into making you look tall. Also it goes to say that you should try avoiding wearing horizontal stripes.
5. Go for high-waisted bottoms
High-waist jeans or even a skirt produces the illusion that you have long legs, and who’d avoid that? Pair it with a chic cropped top and you’re prepared to head out the door.
6. Roll up your sleeves
When wearing a high with long sleeves, try rolling them up to make your arms seem long.
7. Layer necklaces
Layering necklaces creates lines that direct your eyes similar to the way vertical stripes do. Also, accessorizing is definitely a tool every stylish girl should use.
