so today i want to start with just
sharing a few of my tips that i have for
looking taller and slimmer
i like to wear flats a lot too and so i
really want to highlight
how to make yourself look taller by
wearing flats
not all of us want to wear heels all the
time if you're anything like me
i do like to wear heels but i do want to
try to just
wear flats and still look taller in fact
i'd love to do like a series if you have
ideas for like how
you want to learn how to look taller i
love to be able to like
do more of these videos so leave them in
the comments below
by the way i am five foot one not many
people know that and so when they find
it out
i usually get responses like i can't
believe it like that's really what i'm
going for is i want to play with
proportions
and like figure out how to look taller
so i've got three outfits today to show
you guys
where i'm going to start them out like
not looking very tall
and then like build on that so the first
outfit i have is just a t-shirt and a
pair of white pants
my t-shirt's a really lovely color i
like it a lot and it matches my skin
tone
so that kind of helps i like all these
pieces a lot but it's just like how i
wear them
i've also got darker shoes on than my
skin tone
and so i'm going to just be like
swapping stuff out first of all i want
to be able to tuck in my
shirt that always is what makes a huge
difference in photos especially
and so if i just tuck it in then what
i'm doing is
since i have a longer torso and shorter
legs
now it looks like i've got longer legs
and a shorter torso
next i'm just going to swap these shoes
out real quick with ones that are like
my skin tone and it also helps that this
pair of flats
has a pointed toe so anytime that you
have a pointed toe it's going to make
you look like you're a couple inches
taller than you really are
and next because the more ankle that's
exposed the better
i'm going to roll up these pants a
little bit by the way i already got
these hemmed but
every little bit counts and i do like to
actually just cuff my jeans a little bit
usually if i'm wearing heels or
something like that then i don't need to
cuff my pants
but you know since i'm wearing flats
right now i think that's even more
important
so this outfit's looking pretty good
already and i just want to see if i can
make it a little bit better
so monochroming is my next tip where i'm
wearing
the same color top and bottom and just
see if that lengthens me at all
so by doing this i'm able to make myself
look taller by
not having like any separation of my
top and bottom so now from shoulder down
to ankle i'm able to have one
long line so that kind of gives a
stretchy illusion
and this also works by the way if you've
got like vertical stripes like a dress
or anything like that that'll help too
the second outfit i have is actually
elizabeth suzanne for the top
and bottom i love these pieces and i'm
just intentionally wearing them
differently than i normally would
so i've got like a really loose billowy
top and i've got
pants that are sitting on my hips more
so than my natural
waist which is my skinniest part and
that's also making my pants look
longer and if you're anything like me if
you're on the shorter side
then most pants come longer on you than
naturally
so these pants are not hemmed or
anything but they're supposed to sit a
little bit
taller on someone than they are on me
right now
and i've also by the way got darker
shoes on so i'll get to that in a minute
so right away let's just pull those
pants up right where they're supposed to
go
which is on my natural waist since i'm
more like hourglass
shaped that allows me to have like that
accentuated
which is really important for my body
style and i also want to just kind of
roll the sleeves up a little bit
so that allows a little bit more like my
my arms are exposed
really what that's doing is it's making
my shirt look
like it fits me or maybe is a little bit
small on me
which if you're my size you'd never run
into that problem in real life
but that just kind of gives it an
optical illusion
and then i'm again just going to swap
these shoes out for the pair i was
wearing before
and that just allows me to show a little
bit more ankle
so the ankle is the smallest part of my
leg
and if i expose that i'm going to make
it look like my
legs are more slender than they actually
are
so the next thing i want to compare is
necklaces as much as i love my coin
necklaces
i think that that would be a really good
addition to this outfit but if i want my
torso maybe to look a little bit longer
then i'm going to show like a longer
necklace
and i love this necklace by windblown
jewelry which is the horizon necklace
it's super long
and i just like to add like a statement
look when i'm wearing this so now
side by side i think that this outfit
now looks a lot taller
and it plays with my proportions to make
myself look
longer and stretchier so the third
outfit is one i think that we've all
worn
at some point in our lives it's just a
basic pair of jeans
and a basic white tee so again i really
like these pieces
but i do have some alterations i want to
make to them
the first alteration i made was a
literal alteration i went and got these
pants hemmed and i asked
for the original hem to be reattached
that's super important if you don't want
your pants to look
cheap after getting them hemmed a
typical hem is just they fold the fabric
under
sew it and they're done and you lose all
that great like
stuff at the bottom that makes it look
like oh these jeans just naturally came
this way
so again just by hemming them i'm
showing more ankle
i'm making it look like my pants just
fit me naturally
a lot smaller than they normally would
out of the store and then of course i
want to tuck in my shirt right away
because that's going to help my
proportions even out again
so as much as i love this oversized
shirt i want to kind of compare it to
a similar one that is just like tighter
on me it's more of a stretchy fit
and so that just allows me to like show
more
of my figure and that might help me with
my proportions
and trying to look slimmer so that's
really how i transform an outfit that is
like a typical white tee
and a pair of jeans into something a lot
more like better
i also have a similar shoe it's pointed
toe but it's a little bit darker in its
shade than my skin tone
of course everybody has their own
features and you know this might look
different for everybody
but this outfit is looking pretty good
so far i do want to try the monochrome
thing where i'm going to wear the same
color
head to toe and so i'm actually wearing
zach's shirt because i don't have
anything navy that's a t-shirt
but i do want to see like what the
difference is so
um so here i'm wearing it like undone
like
nothing's tucked in and already i can
tell
that it's just as lengthening by wearing
the same color that it is
if i'm wearing a white tee when it's
tucked in but just for the sake of
making it even better
i'm going to tuck this giant shirt on me
into these pants and try to make them
look even taller so finally since this
shirt is bigger on me i'm just going to
roll the sleeves a little bit
and overall i think this is a really fun
look it's very casual and i think i do
look taller in this outfit
i also like the fact that my coin
necklaces have a little bit more of a
statement look when it has the contrast
of the dark navy behind it
so that's about it for these three outf
braid just hit my window
so that's about it for these three
outfits i hope that you really like them
and maybe they give you some inspiration
if you're trying to look taller slimmer
of course this is different for
everybody you might have like a shorter
torso and longer legs i hear a lot of
people
who write me and say that so maybe i
would go with like the statement
necklace where it's longer
in that case um that'll lengthen a torso
