How to Look Shorter as girls

No matter how hard you try, you can't physically make yourself look shorter. However, you can change the way you dress, style hair, etc to create the impression of being shorter. Follow these tips below to dress and impress for your height.

Steps

  1. 1
    Consider pixie cut. It's cute and it'll work well with a slim face, but will also create the illusion. But remember, if you have a more wider face, you might want to avoid any short hair styles.



  1. 2
    Flick layered hair. If you have layered hair, try flicking it out at the ends. It works really well and suits any face. It also can be done with any length. Beware though - it may make you look slightly boyish so you might want to make it look more feminine by adding a headband with a bow or clips.
  2. 3
    Straighten your hair or style it with waves. If you're not keen on cutting off your lovely locks, straighten it or make it wavy. Curls do look good, but only if you have the right hair colour - blondes and redheads look best with them.
  3. 4
    Wear baggy pants. Baggy jeans are the best type of jeans to go with. They create the impression of shorter legs, which is good.
  4. 5
    Try and choose coats or cardigans that come down to your knees. It's a cute and stylish look. Make sure they're light and breezy though, as bulky stuff looks and feels horrible.
  5. 6
    Wear flats. High heels are a no-no. If people are just looking at feet, of course they'll think you're shorter if you wear high heels. Height wise, wearing heels is just like walking around on your tip toes! Keep to flat shoes, as you don't want to be several inches taller than you already are.
I’ll talk about hands and feet next week. For now, here are 5 ways to reduce height and look shorter:

  • DO choose full skirts and dresses to draw the eye out. (More width = less height.)
  • DON’T wear super tight clothes. (Less width = more height.)
  • DO wear a different color top and bottom to visually break up your figure.
  • DON’T wear monochromatic outfits since this makes you look even taller.
  • DO wear a contrasting belt to interrupt the eye from going straight up and down.
Yes, it’s true you might be taller than the average woman. But don’t forget about the sexy tall women out there who are revered for their long legs and height! These lovely ladies are all 6 feet tall or taller:

Tips

  • Don't be super self conscious - we're all born different, and there are many other people in your situation.
  • If you are really depressed over your height, try modeling. It could really make you feel more confident if you knew your height was being appreciated.
  • Check out the latest fashion magazines and look at what all the tall models are wearing.
