  • will need The right length jacket V-neck shirts Long pants Pointy shoes Monochromatic clothes

  • Short or teased hair Yoga or Pilates classes and elevator insoles. Step 1. When picking

  • out jackets, go for ones that end where your buttocks meet your legs. And pick single-breasted

  • over double-breasted, which can make you look shorter by making you look wider. Step 2.

  • Wear V-neck shirts, which elongate your frame. Avoid wearing baggy tops, which can make you

  • look like a box: wide and short. Step 3. Wear pants that reach the bottom of your heel.

  • Stay away from cuffed pants, capris, and cargoes. Step 4. Select pointed-toe shoes over round-toed

  • ones; the former blend in better with your pants, so your leg line remains unbroken.

  • Elevator insoles are a discreet way of adding an inch or two to your height. Step 5. Go

  • without belts; they cut your body in half, ruining the long line you want. Step 6. Wear

  • one color so your torso and legs blend together. Heavier fabrics tend to make you look bulkier

  • and shorter. Whenever possible, opt for light- or medium-weight fabrics. Step 7. Let your

  • hair help you look taller. For ladies, that means upsweep styles and a little teasing

  • on top. For men, it means keeping your hair short. Step 8. Take yoga or Pilates classes;

  • both have been shown to help people look taller by improving their posture. Did you know Studies

  • repeatedly show that tall men earn more than short men.
