If you are like many out there of small stature, you are most likely unhappy with your height. It is not really fair that taller people get the better jobs, faster promotions, and more attention in general - but is it a sad fact of life. This fact has prompted many to try to find ways to get, or even appear, taller. Some online offers tell you to take pills or do special exercises to become taller. These type of ads are scams - but there are real, proven ways to increase your height, and they don't involve dangerous drugs, exercises or surgery.
Wear Flattering Shoes-I'm always amazed when a short person wears flat soled shoes. I know many of you want to avoid being identified as wearing 'elevator shoes' - but you can wear shoes that enhance your height without it being obvious. Wear sandals or boots with higher heels will make you look taller, and also larger, bulkier shoes will give the illusion of being taller.
Wear The Right Clothes -you can change your wardrobe to make yourself look much taller. It is amazing how many people don't realize what they are wearing actually makes them look shorter than they really are! Wear pinstripes, you'll look taller, and the vertical stripes slim your look as well. Avoid all-over patterns - wear solid colors, but contrast the look - wear light color pants with a dark shirt, for example. This technique will draws the eye to your waist, and make you look taller. Also, avoid 'high-water' pants! Wear you pants with the longest inseam you can get away with - avoid large flares at the cuff. You can really increase height by wearing the correct pant length.
Your Hairstyle Is Important- keep you hair short and off the neck - it will make your neck seem longer. It will also give you a more substantial profile - too many short people wear long hair and 'disappear' within their locks. Long hair makes you look shorter.
Attitude Is Everything! You can't change what mother nature gave (or did not) give you. I have several dogs - the smallest one is the most confident - he struts around the house like he 'owns' the place! The other dogs respect him and give him the right-of-way most all of the time! My little dog gave me a good lesson on attitude.
Stand Up Straight! This is the basic rule most people, tall or short, break routinely. There is no way to permanently increase height by walking and sitting with good posture, making a habit of correct body positioning will make you look much taller. How many shorter people do you see that slump while sitting or standing? It seems some just want to disappear into the background! Keep your shoulders back, back straight, your chin, nose and eyebrows lifted high, and you will be amazed at the different way others will perceive you.
Dress correctly, style your hair short and off the neck, practice good posture and watch your attitude - and you'll be taller in everyone's eyes - especially your own.!
