5 tricks that will make you look taller without heels

High heels are a classic way to add height and grace to your figure. But what if you prefer comfort and want to look taller even in sneakers or ballet flats? There are many tricks that visually stretch the silhouette. We at joy-pup share five tricks that will help you look taller and slimmer without heels. Read also how to wear sneakers to the office.

Vertical lines in clothes

The vertical is the main ally of petite girls. A striped shirt, an elongated vest, a trouser suit with a clear cut or even an open top-down clasp on a jacket – all this “leads” the gaze up and down, creating the illusion of height. Choose clothes with thin, not too contrasting lines – they look more elegant and stretch the silhouette softly.

Monolook or similar shades

Clothes of one color or similar range visually create a cohesive image and do not “cut” the figure. Even simple jeans and a T-shirt in similar tones will help you appear taller. You do not have to wear all black. Delicate pastels, beige or deep monochrome shades work just as well.

V-neck and open neck

V-shaped necklines, open cardigans, shirts with the top button unbuttoned – all this visually lengthens the neck and torso. Even a basic T-shirt with a V-neck works to create the effect of “taller and slimmer”. Complete the look with long pendants or chains – they continue the vertical and enhance the effect.

High waist and cropped top

Skirts, trousers or jeans with a high waist stretch the legs, and a crop top or tucked-in shirt create the correct proportions. Even if your height is modest, this technique makes the figure harmonious. Pair high-waisted trousers with a loose shirt, tucking it in only partially – this will add a touch of casualness and modern style.

Shoes and trousers in the same color

If you wear light-colored jeans, choose white or beige sneakers, and for black trousers – dark loafers or boots. When the color of the shoes matches the bottom, the legs appear longer and the height – taller. Ballet flats with a pointed toe or sneakers without a massive sole can also add elegance.
