Fashion Fridays, Kuel Life Thought Leader: Tracy Gold
Look taller – No painful high heel shoes required.
I don’t know about you, but the usual ‘wear stilettos’ remedy to my height ‘problem’ doesn’t do it for me anymore. At 50, I don’t care to be uncomfortable for the sake of style. And I’m a fashionista!
“Don’t panic, this doesn’t mean you have to squeeze into tight fitting clothing.”
How To Make You Look Taller Instantly:
As a stylist and designer, I made it my mission to find easy ways to create the illusion of height that will transform your look without compromising comfort.
1. Define Your Waist:
This is the single most transformative thing you can do for your look. Don’t panic, this doesn’t mean you have to squeeze into tight fitting clothing. It just means you need clothing that has shape. Instead of wearing boxy, baggy clothes, opt for styles that nip a little at your waist and flare at the hem. When you define your waist, you make your legs look super long which makes you appear taller.
2. Hemlines Matter And So Do Your Comfort Levels:
If you are comfortable to show some leg, there is no doubt that it will elongate your look. If not, either wear dresses and skirts at full length or just on or below your knee. Anything mid length will shorten your length instantly.
“Anything that draws the eye down the body is going to make you look taller instantly.”
3. Asymmetrical Hemlines Do Wonders:
Asymmetrical hemlines elongate your look because they draw the eye down the body instead of across. They are also perfect if you want to show a little leg, but not go all the way with a short dress.
4. Wear Vertical Stripes:
Anything that draws the eye down the body is going to make you look taller instantly. This could be a vertical stripe print dress or pin stripe pants.
5. Comfortable Platform Shoes Can Be A Game-Changer:
I found my perfect pair and have them in four different colors. Look for flatform type platforms, which means there won’t be a dramatic arch that will be uncomfortable. Memory foam insoles are also a big help.
6. If You Can’t Wear Platform Or Flatform Shoes, Wear A Nude Color Flat Shoe:
Find the shade of nude that best suits your complexion and it will look like an extension of your leg, making them appear longer.
