Add inches to your appearance without wearing 12-inch platform shoes.

To complete this How-To you will need:

The right length jacket
V-neck shirts
Long pants
Pointy shoes
Monochromatic clothes
Short or teased hair
Yoga or Pilates classes
Elevator insoles

Step 1: Choose the right jackets

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

Wear V-neck shirts, which elongate your frame.

Tip: Avoid wearing baggy tops, which can make you look like a box: wide and short.

Step 3: Wear long pants

Wear pants that reach the bottom of your heel. Stay away from cuffed pants, capris, and cargoes.

Step 4: Select pointy shoes

Select pointed-toe shoes over round-toed ones; the former blend in better with your pants, so your leg line remains unbroken.

Tip: Elevator insoles are a discreet way of adding an inch or two to your height.

Step 5: Ditch the belts

Go without belts; they cut your body in half, ruining the long line you want.

Step 6: Wear one color

Wear one color so your torso and legs blend together.

Tip: Heavier fabrics tend to make you look bulkier and shorter. Whenever possible, opt for light- or medium-weight fabrics.

Step 7: Style your hair

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 up yoga or Pilates

Take yoga or Pilates classes; both have been shown to help people look taller by improving their posture.
