If the goal is to appear taller and slimmer, then there are a few basic principles:
To become taller is real not only due to centimeters in growth. The length of the arms can also visually stretch the silhouette. The hands look most advantageous in a top with a three-quarter sleeve - it can be a blouse or shirt. It is important that the thing is not too tight, but more free, in the casual style.

No less successful solution will be the choice of a top with a V-neck. It will help to emphasize the neck and décolleté area, making them more elegant and longer. A great example is the images from the Altuzarra or Boss shows, in which the torso looks visually elongated due to the correct cutout.
To emphasize the waist and length of the legs allows a crop top or a shortened shirt. Pay attention to models whose bottom line coincides with the waist line. Combine a short top with trousers, shorts or another low with a high fit.

The high waist line visually slims and helps to visually increase growth. It is these skirts, trousers and shorts that look the most profitable and will be able to emphasize the length of the legs. But here it is important to understand that this is not about all models - shortened skinny jeans or breeches will only "land" the image.
Take a closer look at the classic business-style trousers with arrows. In a bow with such pants, you can go for a walk or to the office. The combination of trousers with a classic shirt, as in the Fendi catalog, creates an elegant image that emphasizes the dignity and lengthens the silhouette.

But trousers and jeans with lapels are not recommended. A clear difference can be seen by looking at the photo below, where the same pants are presented, both with lapels and without. The second photo looks better, and the girl is visually slimmer and taller.

Take a closer look at pants with vertical decorative stitches and seams. Thanks to this bottom, the legs look much longer. Actual and stylish remains the model with lamps on the sides.
The ideal option will be well-fitting pants-clash, which will hide the flaws. It is important that the trousers are long and open only the toe of the shoe. In this case, the border between the legs and the shoes is visually lost and this will play a plus for your image.

Don't choose maxi length skirts . Such a choice visually shortens the legs and distorts the proportions. Instead, it is better to choose a midi skirt, as Rachel Bilson or the Olsen sisters like to do.
Real miracles are created by an asymmetrical cut skirt made of flowing fabric. It gives perspective and the legs seem longer than they actually are. This is due to the contrast of the lengths of the hem of the skirt - it makes you finish the picture yourself, thereby presenting the legs in a favorable light.
If you are sure that the uneven hem of the skirt will not suit a particular event, give preference to the classic model, for example, a pencil skirt.
In choosing a dress , we advise you to stop at short or midi length models. But long floor-length dresses, as in the photo of Gucci, should be avoided. Shoes and about a third of the shin should remain in sight.

Take a closer look at the short, fitted dress-case. It looks great on short girls, making the torso longer. In choosing a long dress, give preference to flowing fabrics and styles with vertical folds. This will add to the growth.
Choose cropped outerwear that will open the hip line and emphasize the waist. This will make the legs visually longer and slimmer. For example, a cropped Fendi jacket looks good with pants glued to the bottom.
Another successful variation is a completely black image with a cropped jacket and flared jeans.

When choosing outerwear, take a closer look at the fitted coat. It is important to choose a model that has a length below the knee and above the ankle. Too long a coat will only emphasize the short stature. The best option can be peeped in the Gucci catalog - such a length as in the photo is what you need.
@gucci Pijacks and cardigans up to the middle of the thigh will visually add growth.
We advise you to combine them with a tight-fitting bottom, for example, skinny jeans or thin tights in the color of the jacket, like the Fendi model. This image is suitable for going to the office and for social outings. The outfit balances growth with open legs creating two verticals.
@fendi
The idea that short girls are required to wear high-heeled shoes is wrong. It is better if the heel is medium, about 5-8 centimeters, otherwise you will look disproportionate. Choose classic boats and combine with long pants, as Jennifer Lopez does.
Visually lengthen and make the legs slimmer shoes in the color of trousers or tights. The photo 12storeez clearly shows how the line between clothes and shoes is lost, due to which the silhouette seems more elongated.
@12storeez
Despite the fact that it seems to be a small detail, the accessories deserve special attention. Choose small pendants and oblong earrings. But it is better to forget about large earrings.
@fendi When picking up a bag, give preference to small ones.
A voluminous bag will look less harmonious and visually make you even smaller and lower. A medium-sized bag or miniature clutches, as in Gucci outfits, are a great solution.

Do you want to mark the waist line and make your legs longer and slimmer? Use straps. Preferably not thin or too thick, but medium and preferably in the color of trousers or jeans, like 12storeez.

Any vertical lines help to visually lengthen the silhouette. Therefore, it is relevant to use various light scarves, which are better to tie so that one end of the scarf lies vertically down.
Short girls should like the trend for a vertical stripe. He not only looks stylish, but is also able to slim and lengthen the silhouette. Look at the images of Mulberry or Jil Sander, made entirely in this print. The figures of the models seem even slimmer, despite the fact that they have things oversized.
The rule works here: the larger the drawings, the less tall the woman looks. Give preference to small ornaments and drawings of small size.
Colors and their combinationsIn the color scheme, it is better to prefer monochromatic colors than contrasting outfits. Bright tights with a dress of a contrasting color, like Gucci, crushes the silhouette, makes the girl more squat and "hides" centimeters of growth.

Of the shades, we advise you to choose caramel, white, dark brown and black. They are able to visually lengthen your figure. We recommend choosing monolucs if you want to make an unforgettable impression. Clothing in one shade erases the boundaries where the torso ends and the legs begin, thereby "stretching" the growth.

Choose a high fit and abandon the low waist, love monoluki and forget about the sharp contrast in the bow. Then your figure will definitely look even slimmer, taller and more elegant. Share your ways of choosing clothes in the comments!
