What clothes look best on shorter people?

Question

I'm a little on the short side and I was wondering what clothes I can wear that fit my height, possibly make me look taller?

Answer 1

Vertical lines will help make you look taller. Also, don't let your pants be so long that they drag on the floor. Make sure they are just barely below the ankle because pants that drag will make your legs look short as will arm lengths too long for you. Clothes that are close fitting and not baggy also help.

Answer 2

If you dress in one color, head to toe it will give the illusion of height.

Short skirts tend to look better on shorter women. Gives them the illusion of longer legs. Just make sure you don't wear dark tights and light shoes, that makes your legs look really short. As a general rule tights should be lighter or the same tone as your shoes.

Short jackets [at or above the hip] work well for short people.

Try to avoid any large patterns, ruffles at the hem or overly frilly clothes as they end to overpower the smaller frame.

Answer 3

Try wearing a straight leg or slight boot cut trousers and heels but make sure you trousers cover at least half of the heel but also make sure your trousers ain't too long so they go under you heels because if its a rainy day and your out the bottom bit of the trouser will go all wet and soggy.

If you have a slim waist, wear a belt around it or a shirt with a cinched waist.
Wear a knee-length skirt.
If your arms are slim, go sleeveless or try cap-sleeves.
Make sure you top isn't too tight or too lose.

Answer 4

For short people like you and me.
♥Try heels they'll make you taller.
♥Choose skinny jeans- they lengthen out your legs.
♥A cute mini skirt will show off a lot of leg so you appear taller.
This works for me and plus you will look pretty in style! lol! You can get skinny jeans at old navy, they are not just for emo's (no offence) They won't squeeze you to where you can't breathe. You should check them out! Im not over-weight and Im kinda preppy. You could wear colorful blouses with flats or pumps. And you could get mini skirts at american eagle, jcpennys, hollister, abercombie & fitch, ross, marshalls, tj maxx and alot more. Well hoped I helped! Happy New Years! ♥

Answer 5

Maximize leg length by keeping hemlines at, or above, the knee.

When you're wearing a dress stay away from shoes that interrupt the line of your leg. Go with a pimp or ballerina flat.

Don't were long jackets or tops. Keep them shorter.

Wear smaller prints.

Pinstripes are a good thing.

Answer 6

no! no no no no no! i'm six foot tall and prefer it! in case you're making your self look shorter, then you definately would be an difficulty-free mark as a results of fact it somewhat is going to be obtrusive you have low self esteem. that, or you will appear as if a mega nerd. (i became the mega nerd in extreme college with long legs and short pants. don't be me.) even inspite of the shown fact that, downplay your long limbs via wearing skirts that hit you on the bend on your knee (making your legs look neither long or short) and wearing long sleeves on ideal. please include your top. amazons will finally end up ruling this us of a.
