Style Secrets: 5 Easy ways to look taller and leaner
updated the 6 October 2015 à 22:53You may be petite sized but that doesn’t mean you can’t appear statuesque. Discover the multitude of ways you can fake your height with clever styling options in our handy guide.
Here’s one for our petite ladies. Many Singaporean women fall under that category, and despite being surrounded by other petite women, we always aspire and wish we were taller (we always want what we can’t have, don’t we?) However, fret not, you don’t have to go under the knife to add a few inches to your height – clever fashion choices and smart proportion play are all you need.
AVOID TOO MUCH FABRIC
A point to note is that anything oversized or too long will swallow up your petite frame. So always try to opt for fitted clothes with lengths that are just right for your height. Trousers or jeans should never bunch up at your feet as they’ll create too much heaviness to your legs, and long skirts and dresses that drag on the ground while you walk will only further emphasize your small stature.
Look through our gallery above as our favourite street style darlings model the styling tips you can adopt to always keep ‘lengthening’ in mind while getting dressed.
