You should be wearing the same color from top to bottom to make the eye travel without stopping down your whole length. If you wear a staight legged pant, wear a short jacket in the same material. Wearing short jackets will make the legs look longer, because the jacket sits atop the hips, making the full leg visible.

Don't go the big hair route. This will just make you look weird. Go to a good stylist and have your hair cut to enhance your face.

Also, no platform heels. These are tacky. Delicate looking heels are best...picked to compliment your clothes.

Don't wear anything too frilly. You'll end up looking like a little girl dressing in Mommy's clothes. If you want frills, go for micro frills (like those on mens tuxedo shirts).

Everything must fit your frame...not too long, nor too short. And age appropriate.

Trust me, you'll be the envy of almost every other woman out there if you get the look right for you.

Heels with jeans that graze the floor so you can only just see your toes, it will make your legs look longer. Don't ever wear heels with ankle straps though, they will cut your legs in two and make you look stout. Don't wear really long, baggy clothes they will swamp you and make you seem ever smaller. Wearing all of the same colour can also guve the illusion of height.

I suffer from this as well, im 15 and i'm only 5 foot. Basically, high heels will be your new best friend. Go for quality not quantity because when your wearing them all day you dont want them hurting. Platforms are really in at the moment, which is good for us!

The best thing for you to do is frist appreciate how God made you! I'm short (4"11) and I love it! But I know that on days I want to look taller, I just slip on some nice heels or for more comfort wedges! Hope this helped, God Bless!

Many people are very short. Try watching the show "what not to wear" a few times. They often tell you tips on how to look taller, or thinner, and much other things. (You'll have to watch a few episodes until you drastically hear tips) hope that helps

Wear any vertically striped pants/jeans, nicely fitted clothes, long clothes (long t-shirts or anything turtleneck) or an outfit of only one color. You know, like, a white shirt+white jacket+white pants+white shoes= elongated figure.

For hair, I find long and thick hair to look good! That's what I have at least and it works... ;)

Hope this helped! =)

watch that show! They'll tell you everything you need to know!

Also...to look taller, wear straight legged pants (preferably pin stripped) with pointy heels...it elongates the leg.

Verticle stripped shirts are a great pair with those pants and heels

From Your Feet Up:

Shoes:
One way to elevate your stature is by wearing height-increasing footwear or apparatuses such as lifts, thicker insoles, elevator shoes, and shoes with thicker soles. These can all easily add a few inches to your height.

Shopping tip: When shopping for shoes, try sticking to bulkier styles so that your feet don't look too small.

Shirts:
Avoid wearing blazers and cardigans with more than three buttons because they will draw unwanted attention to your shorter upper body. Also, make sure that your blazers and jackets fall slightly below your buttocks, as this will make your body look slightly more elongated. While you should try to avoid double-breasted suits, if you do choose to wear one, do up all the buttons (including the lower ones), as this will give you a longer look.

Also, when wearing a sports jacket, make sure there's as little contrast between your jacket and trousers as possible, to maintain the natural vertical lines. Center and side vents also add the effect of a prolonged vertical line.

In terms of sweaters and T-shirts, V-necks can help make your torso look longer. Turtlenecks, on the other hand, can make you look stumpy, as they conceal your neck.

Look for formfitting shirts in order to avoid excess fabric when tucking them in and opt for point collars instead of spreads. Finally, keep in mind that tucking in your shirt can place the emphasis on your legs and torso, which might make you look shorter.

Shopping tip: Shortening the length of a shirt is generally easier than reducing the length of its sleeves, so make sure the shirt fits properly around your shoulders and body, first and foremost. If it does, then you can have the overall length and the sleeves adjusted.

Pants:
Do not wear your pants too high; you should wear them just above your hips. Also, avoid wearing low-rise pants (even if they are the trendier alternative), as they tend to make legs look shorter than they already are.

Furthermore, avoid any kind of puckering around the hips, from tucking in your shirts or having full pockets, as it will make you look wider and hence, shorter.

Your trousers should break on your shoes slightly more than average, to help make your legs look longer by covering your socks properly.

It's also suggested to shun cuffs altogether. If you do decide to wear them, have your tailor hem them slightly more narrow than normal (that is, 1? inches instead of the usual 1? to 2 inches). Finally, keep in mind that pants with no pleats or a single pleat are more flattering than multiple pleats.

Shopping tip: If you can't find any pants that fit properly, you can always have them custom-made or visit a specialty store near you.

Accessories:
When it comes to accessories, shorter men should avoid bow ties. Instead, they should wear narrower ties; solid, and regimental and diagonal patterns work best. Also, choose the less intrusive four-in-hand knot over the bulkier Windsor variety.

When buying a belt, remember that you can have it adjusted to any length by simply adding more holes. A belt that doesn't have holes is even easier, as it's fully adjustable for a perfect fit.

Finally, keep in mind that suspenders can emphasize your natural vertical line, so avoid them.

Shopping tip: Again, you can find many stylish accessories in special catalogs, at local specialty stores, or in the boys' section of larger department stores. If you're having trouble finding socks that fit, you can always give the socks in the women's department a try.

Just Look Good!

Just remember that the key is not necessarily to look as tall you can, but to look as good as you can. The proper fit and the right styles can make you look great, regardless of your height.

I'm not sure how old you are, but my guess is that your younger than 20. Take my advice, enjoy the fact that you look young, that means you'll still get carded when your 40, and that will make you feel really good. I also look young for my age. I still get carded, and that makes me feel REAL young.
