How to look Taller Part II

May 3, 2022 by Moumous |

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing fine. We are closing the series of “How to look Taller” if you are a petite or regular height woman wanting to add a few inches to your silhouette. Those tips have been proven to be very effective and have helped so many of us to feel more confident. I will also have another series of “How to look shorter” soon but for today let’s keep the focus on our petite women.

Make sure to read “How to get Taller Part I” before you continue with today’s reading.

Shop the look

1- Vertical Lines & Details

Vertical detailing creates an optical illusion, tricking the eye into perceiving the figure as elongated and taller. You can create vertical lines in all kinds of ways but wearing accordion pleats is one of my favorites

2- Keep it simple with separates

The sizing of one-piece items like dresses, jumpsuits, and swimsuits can be tricky to get right. When in doubt, stick with separates! Mixing solo pieces is far more customizable, and allows items to be worn and styled in multiple ways.

3- Color Match

Colour match items like hosiery, skinny jeans, and leggings to the color of your shoes or boots to create an elongating effect. The monochromatic styling allows the items to blend into each other, creating super-flattering legs.

4- Choose pointed shoes (one of my golden rules)

Round and square-toe shoes shorten your leg length… Whereas, pointed-toe shoes elongate your leg by literally adding an inch or two to your foot. This applies to all shoes (heels or flats), as well as boots.

5- Neutrals & skinny straps

Ideally, it’s better to avoid ankle straps because they create a horizontal line that breaks up your legs. But, if you would like to wear shoes with an ankle strap, just look for skinny straps in neutral colors that blend in as much as possible

There are definitely more tips especially when it comes to making strategic footwear choices but that will be it for today. Don’t forget to leave me a comment below to provide additional tips that you use to make you look taller, more elegant, and that boost your confidence.

Thanks for stopping by.

XoXo,

Every detail tells a story: The bold frames remind Every detail tells a story: The bold frames remind me to see the world differently, with courage and color. The white blazer reflects clarity, purpose, and a fresh chapter. And, the gold accents? A reminder that value comes from within, but shines brightest when you carry it with confidence.

For me, power dressing isn’t about looking intimidating, but about embodying authenticity. It’s the art of aligning how you present yourself on the outside with the strength and vision you hold within.

Because when you walk in your truth, style becomes your silent introduction.

Styling is a calling that humbles you. Moments lik Styling is a calling that humbles you. Moments like this, kneeling on the floor, adjusting the delicate strap of a sandal, remind me that elegance isn’t just built in front of mirrors, but in the quiet details no one always sees.

Having the privilege to style fashion designer Stella Jean @stellajean_sj_ during her visit to Haiti @haifex.ht was more than work; it was a reminder of why I do what I do. It’s about service, attention, and the joy of seeing someone step into a look that makes them feel like their best self. The reward? That sparkle in their eyes when they stand tall, ready to take on the world.
