Of course, there is nothing wrong in being short! However, opting for fashion tricks that give us, petite ones, that little extra length we so long for sometimes will make all the difference in a few trends that we see on the runways season after season. Well, luckily for us, fashion is sometimes all about visual tricks. And giving the illusion of having a few extra centimeters in length will make us happier than ever. So, ladies, get ready with me so we can go through some fashion decisions that will forever be game changers!

Opt for high-waisted pants instead of low-waisted ones. This cut elongates your legs and dramatically changes the look of your silhouette.

Switch your skinny pants with flared ones. This trick is all about proportions, as it creates balance between your ankle and your hips – elongating your entire silhouette.

Wear nude shoes instead of dark ones. Choosing the right nude shade for your skin tone will lengthen and slim your calves and ankle.

Avoid shoes with ankle straps and make of classic pumps your best friends. In fact, ankle straps cut your bottom half into two parts, thus making your legs look shorter.  

Go monochromatic in your looks. Wearing the same color from head to toe gives you a vertical look that makes you look taller.

Embrace tops with a V-neck. This cut elongates your torso and would be a great way to complement a high-waisted skinny pants.

Favor pointed-toe shoes over rounded ones. This shape doesn’t only help elongate the bottom half of your legs, but also gives them a slimmer look.
