1. High Waisted

High Waisted The best tip from all the tips for short girls to appear taller is to go high waisted. A high waisted skirt, shorts, or pants will elongate your legs to your advantage. Try tucking in a blouse or shirt and see how beautiful this looks! If you don’t like tucking in completely, try tucking in just the front so that you appear taller in the front and have the shirt hanging in the back. This works great with high waisted jeans and is my go-to look!

2. Platforms

Platforms My next tip is to rock the platform. Make sure you know the difference between platform heels and pumps that have no extra heel. The point of platform heels is to add a couple of inches while providing you less of an arch and struggle. You can get wedges or booties in this style and high boots, as well. This will be comfortable and definitely make you appear taller!

Frequently asked questions

3. Color Blend

Color Blend Color blending is another quick way to appear taller. This means that by matching your heel color to your long pant or jean, your leg will appear longer. If you are wearing black jeans or leather pants, try some black platform heels or even a black high heel, knee-high boot! Also, avoid any boots that reach up to your shin. This will make you look shorter!

4. Maxi

Maxi Another way to appear taller is to rock the maxi dress. This is the biggest advantage for a few reasons. Not only do maxi dresses look great on short girls, but they are so beautiful and so easy to throw on. They also look fabulous with a flat sandal, flip flops or flats. I love maxi dresses and long skirts – so easy and great for the ultimate comfort!

5. Crop

Crop Try pairing your high waisted skirt or shorts with a crop top. This will make your torso appear shorter which will elongate your legs, especially with high waisted bottoms. However, do make sure your cropped top is not too far split from your bottoms! There are many beautiful crop tops out there!

6. Heel

Heel The best way to gain some height and appear taller is by, of course, wearing heels. Every petite girl needs a good pair of comfortable wedges in her closet. This is such an easy way to appear taller while keeping an outfit casual. At night time, wear a more classic heel with a platform. Like I said before, you can try boots in the form of platforms, as well!

7. Too Much Fabric

Too Much Fabric As a short, petite girl, try to avoid too much fabric. Anything to thick or baggy will not complement you! Try to go for things that aren’t too heavy or long. If you do, try to work around it and tuck it in.

The most important tip for short girls to appear taller is to work with what you have. Find different ways to work with your body type and other outfits and pieces of clothing. There is nothing wrong with being a petite girl – embrace it! Do you wear anything that makes you feel taller?

Just because you're petite doesn't mean that you can't wear maxi dresses or skirts! If at first it's too big on you then get it altered! It's as simple as that. I'm 4'11" and I am able to wear those types of things and look great in them! You can do it. You don't have to sacrifice your style choices because of your height! 😀
