How to Look Taller – 10 outfit tips & Tricks

April 17, 2022 by Moumous |

Shop the Look

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well. Have you noticed that we are back with our regular blogpost? I am also trying to catch up with the link-up parties since I missed quite a few weeks. Anyway, life has been quite busy lately. Between sick kids, being sick myself, working on multiple projects including a few of LaMoumous new projects.

I will dedicate a blog post to update you on everything but for today, I wanted to revisit some of my previous topics: how to look taller when you are a petite woman or if you simply want to gain a few inches. Today’s post will cover 5 out of the 10 tips & tricks that I want to share with you.

1- Elevate & Elongate

High-waisted jeans, trousers, and skirts have magical powers! They elevate the waist, and in doing so, elongate and seriously lengthen the legs, transforming anyone into a taller version of themselves in an
instant.

2- Master the Monochrome

An uninterrupted monochromatic palette elongates a petite frame and creates the illusion of height. The secret is to avoid breaking up the figure into separate sections and allow the eye to flow seamlessly from
top to toe.

3- Form Fitting = Form Flattering

Don’t be dwarfed by oversized, baggy, or boxy clothes that are too long or heavy for your petite frame. Instead, choose form-fitting & tailored styles that streamline your silhouette. A good tailor is your
best friend!

4. Petite Accessories & Prints

Petite frames can look overwhelmed by oversized accessories or large prints. Keep accessories and prints in proportion to the scale of the body – for example, choose smaller bags, delicate silk scarves, thin belts,
and dainty prints.

5- Discover your perfect nudes

Every petite woman’s shoe collection has to include shoes that match her skin color. Worn with bare legs or natural hosiery, the uninterrupted leg line creates an elongating optical illusion. Your legs will look instantly longer & you’ll look taller by inches!

That’s it for today. In the upcoming post, we will cover 5 more tips to help elongate the silhouette of petite women. So stay tuned. In the meantime, comment below and share with me any additional tips that you have used to help you gain a few inches. I can’t wait to read you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Xo,

Moumous

🚨 New Blog Post Alert! 🚨 Power dressing just 🚨 New Blog Post Alert! 🚨 Power dressing just got a denim upgrade, and I’m here for every inch of it.✨

Gone are the days of stiff suits and predictable palettes. The modern woman leads with softness, structure, and undeniable style.

In my latest blog post, I explain why the denim power suit is redefining authority and how you can make it work for your wardrobe, without sacrificing comfort or personality. From brooches to wide-leg pants, this look speaks before you even say a word.

💥💥💥Wrapping up the birthday celebration ( 💥💥💥Wrapping up the birthday celebration (finally... maybe?), I just want to say THANK YOU for the avalanche of love, warm wishes, hugs, calls, surprises, and everything in between. 💛

This birthday apparently started in April and is still going strong — I guess we’re doing birth season now? I’m not mad about it. 😂

To the instigator of this surprise party… I see you 👀. I hate surprises — and Lord & @carlic9 (yes, and you @dgiegie and maybe @foyinthekitchen and @mariemaudnl should!) KNOW it. But you pulled this off in such a thoughtful, me-centered way, I couldn’t help but melt.

And that birthday book of testimonials?? Y’all really said, “let’s ruin her eyeliner today.” 😭 I’m speechless. There won’t be any onions left for @casse_croutebyfoy to survive Wings & Things week. 😅

Grateful. Overflowing. Deeply touched.
Surrounded by beautiful souls and even more beautiful energy.

To friends who become family — I love you more than words can say.

Here’s to love, laughter, and being so, so seen. 💫💕

Loving this soft mint green top from @glamurboutiquehaiti for summer and the denim set that goes from casual to polished with just a blazer.
Effortless style starts with the right foundation. ✨

And as I keep becoming, I stand tall —
Perfectly imperfect, grounded in purpose, and devoted to empowering others to own their essence and chase their dreams.

Happy Birthday to me. 💫
