5 Fashion Pieces That Will Instantly Make You Look Taller

 

Unlike before when alterations were only possible to material things, so many procedures from eyebrow and lip defining to lip augmentation (hello Kylie Jenner) are available to the market. But still, there are just some things in our body that are impossible to change. Whether you like it or not, once you hit a certain age, your height stays the same forever. Although we’re all for embracing what you have and what you look like, there are just times we wish we had the model height.

Well of course, high heels are a big help but for subtle and less obvious ways to add a few inches to your height, we came up with the 5 fashion pieces that will instantly make you look taller.

Flared PantsContrary to belief, wide-leg pants look just as good as flared jeans on petite women. They work best with heels and a crop top or tucked in blouse.

Mini SkirtIf you want to have the illusion of longer legs, look for a mini skirt that will show off more skin. If you want to lengthen it further, look for a high-waisted mini skirt to elevate your mid-section.

Nude Pumps
Find a pair that matches your skin tone and we guarantee that you’ll appear to have legs for days.

Black Jumpsuit
A monochromatic head-to-toe look will elongate your height because it hides the length of the upper and lower sections of your body. Just make sure the fit is right; tight on the top and slightly loose on the bottom.

Vertical Striped Anything
Longer lines mean longer frame. It’s a sartorial strategy that works every time.

Tutorial: How to Turn Jeans into a Skirt

After doing a round of spring cleaning, you're bound to create a pile of old jeans you just can't wear anymore. You may be tempted to throw them away, but wait...you can make cute skirts out of them to wear all summer long! This supersimple technique will save you money and keep you looking cool. 

Start by cutting the bottom off your jeans legs to the length you want your skirt to be. 


Then, cut the inseam of your jeans like so:





Continue the cut made at the inseams up the center front and center back seams of the skirt as well.



Then, lay one side of the cut material over the other and pin like so:



Do the same in the back. 



Then, run two lines of stitching over the material to secure the pinned fabric both in the front and in the back. 




Once your fabric is sewn down, you can turn the skirt inside out and trim away the excess fabric with pinking shears to prevent fraying. 




You can then hem the bottom or let it fray a bit, it's up to you.

You are now the proud owner of a new skirt!
