Style: 5 Tips on How to look Taller

Sometimes being petite and a little on the short side rocks. You can get away with killer heels and most boys are taller than you. But other times, its just frustrating. You look chunkier than you actually are in some clothes, and this season's over-the-knee flat boots make you want to cry because you look like this:

I've made peace with the fact that I don't have pins like Gisele and over the years, I've found that a few simple styling tricks make me seem a little bit taller than I am.

2) Wear pointed flats.

3) Wear one colour from top to bottom.

4) Use skinny belts, never thick ones.
You want to define your waist, not cut yourself in half - and thick belts do this to us girls closer to the ground.

5) Wear a v-neck.
