i wish i was taller!?

Question

Im 5'0 and 17 and i have hips and and a butt so i tend to look short and heavy even though im not.I'm very insecure about my height especially when i stand next 2 my 6'3 ft boyfriend. Does anyone now what i can wear that will make me look taller & what i should avoid.

Answer 1

i don't really have an answer but it's kinda cool cuz i'm 17 and 5' too :) usually i'm confident with who i am, but when it comes to guys i get really insecure cuz the ones i like are all 5'8 and up!!! it's so weird, i don't want people looking at us like i'm his lil sister or anything like that!!!
but anyway, i do know that boot cut jeans or skinny jeans make you look taller and heels do too. short shorts, mini skirts, and shoulder length hair make you seem taller. avoid cropped pants, flared jeans, anything with a lot of heavy fabric, ruffled dresses, flats, and long skirts.

Answer 2

heels...listen, I'm 40 something and have been 5'2 since the age of 12. It'll be ok, really. I was married to a man who was 6'2 (he died) and now am married to man who is only 5'8 or 9. Love both of them. They love me. My life is good. No, I'm not tiny petite, I'm not overweight either, but my lack of tallness hasn't hurt me any. My daughter is 4'11! She jokes that 1 inch shorter and she could've had handicap license plates. She's 20 and petite, my oldest daughter is 22, 5'1 and not petite, not over weight, just not petite. She's about to be engaged to a great guy she's been seeing for about 4 years now. They met in college.
So, my point is, being preoccupied with what you don't have will never do you any good. You're fine as you are, you should believe that and everyone else will, too. Your boyfriend wouldn't be your boyfriend if he were only attracted to tall girls. Good luck.

Answer 3

try pinstrips that are vertical, they lengthen your body, and stay away from horizontal stripes as they tend to make you look wider...plus high heels could fix the short factor but if u dont feel comfortable in those just find a shoe with a little extra sole so it gives you a bit more height...im short 2 && my man is like, 6 inches taller than me!!

Answer 4

I think short girls are way sexier than tall ones, and I know a lot of guys think this, too. You can invest in heels, short skirts, patterns with lines that go vertical, whatever...but I honestly think you should be proud of the body you were given. Obviously your boyfriend doesnt mind either, or he wouldnt be with you. Love yourself girl!

Answer 5

Avoid feeling like that! You can't really do anything to make yourself seem taller unless you wear 6 inch heels which i think is imposible! Just accept it!

This article is probably the best I have seen on how to dress to look taller.

You really don't need to feel insecure about your height. You are a very nice height. But, if being short bothers you, why not have a look at this web page: http://www.shortstuff.org.uk/advantages.htm

Answer 7

I'm not too sure but probably really long pants will make you look like you are too small for them therefore making you look shorter. But really, I wouldn't worry too much. Most of the time you are most insecure about something nobody else cares about

Answer 8

I think shorter women are in now-aren't you like Eva Longoria and Tony Parker? Watch "What Not To Wear" that show conquers every body shape.

Answer 9

I heard vertical stripes makes people look taller and thinner, but you sound like a good shaped woman so don't obsess over it.

Answer 10

skinny leg jeans, horazontil stripes on pants and tops, and darker colors tend to look good. heels help too
im tall for my age so i hope i can help even though im not as familer with your body shape
hope i could help!!!!! :) :>
