Do you have a hard time finding clothes that don’t look gigantic on your body?
Do you have to take almost everything you buy to the seamstress to tailor it to your needs?
If this is your case and you measure less than 160 – 165 cm, you will love this article.
Dress well It does not mean wearing brand name clothes but knowing how to choose those clothes that suit you best but we short ones find ourselves with a “small” problem when we go shopping: Everything is very long and we have plenty of fabric everywhere even if it is our size so we have no choice but to take the clothes to fix, which means an increase in the cost of the garment just because they are short. How unfair, right?
On the other hand, it is not only a matter of the clothes are long, that also, but the upper waist must also be fixed. Think of all the times that Have you tried on a dress, blouse, jacket and you have about 3 fingers left between where the garment should be and your shoulders. You could almost make a skirt with all the leftover fabric, right?
Well, I have two good news. The first is that there are garments that will (visually) add a few centimeters without having to spend a fortune to fix them and the second is that our prayers (and snorts in many cases) have been heard by some brands and have created lines and tailor-made collections for us.
Let’s start with some tipsseem to you?
- looks monochrome: The good use of color is the most basic trick to gain a few centimeters in height. Choose the same color of clothes and shoes to create a vertical effect. As there are no color breaks, the eye understands a single line and this will make you look taller and stylized.
- high shot: If you do not want to give up the two-tone look, you can opt for high-waisted skirts, pants, or dresses at waist height or a little more. In this way, a visual effect is created that will make you look very long legs.
- V-necklines: vertical lines lengthen the figure and stylize. The asymmetric necklines.
- Dresses and skirts: the ideal size It’s for the knee. Far above or far below it loses effect and in terms of volumes, it better be fitted.
- prints: Avoid large prints. They can be very pretty but they do not favor us. The same happens with the details, the large volumes make us lose height.
- Heeled shoes: Our best ally will be the stiletto but if you don’t get used to wear heelyou have the option of a medium heel or at least that is tip.
- Cuts capri either midis: They are very fashionable, but it is not our best option. Now, if you choose this option yes or yes, look for a high heel shoe that counteracts this visual effect to gain a few inches in height.
- Accessories: They should not be too big or they will eat up your height. Choose those that go in proportion to your body.
