It’s reasonable to feel insecure about your height if you’re short and to wish you were taller on occasion. Fortunately, a few clothing adjustments can assist. High-waisted slacks and skirts, paired with form-fitting tops, can help you look longer.
You can also use accessories like larger hats and scarves to draw emphasis to your upper body. You can make yourself tall with a little tinkering.
Sit up straight and tall, as though you’re comfortable in your own skin. You’ll appear more confident and tall if you feel good about yourself.
