Not many people want to be short. But if you’re born that way, there are some simple fashion advice and tips you can use on a daily basis to greatly help give the illusion of being much taller than you actually are. Some of the most successful short people in the world use these tips, including many Hollywood celebrities.

*Wear High Heels

This is not necessarily a tip for women only because there are companies that make shorter men look between two to five inches taller with shoes that have hidden platforms built into their soles. But whichever gender uses them, high heels will make among the most dramatic difference to the height of any short individual. They don’t have to be expensive, designer heels, and they shouldn’t be so highly raised that you feel and look awkward walking and standing in them. But they’re a definite essential in your goal to look taller.

*Match Legwear with Shoes

If you coordinate the colour of your legwear with you shoes, it creates the visual dimension of increased height because of the longer, linear look that comes across. When you go shopping, be on the alert for the types of fashion legwear you enjoy wearing most and simply combine them with your favourite type of footwear. For example, if you’re wearing a beige pair of pants, wear a matching colour beige pair of shoes. You don’t need to spend much money at all to accomplish this height-increasing look as there are many choices out there in a wide variety of price ranges.

*Dress in One Colour

You can go one step further than the above tip and choose to dress yourself from top to bottom in all one colour. Two of the best colours to accomplish this goal with are the darker ones such as black and navy. You can use this monochromatic look with shoes such as wedges. Shoes should be a matching colour as well, and if you’re wearing boots, make sure they’re at least to the knee rather than flat ankle boots, which can make you look shorter and stout.

*Wear Vertical Lines

There are many varieties of men’s and ladies jeans that are offered with subtle vertical lines. Wearing clothes with vertical as opposed to horizontal lines greatly increases the look of height of anyone wearing them. Many suits come with vertical stripes, as do tops and legwear. Vertical lines make the eye look upwards instead of across the body so you’ll not only look taller but you’ll look thinner too. Clothes of this nature can be either formal or informal, depending on the circumstance and the impression you want to make on people.

All of these fashion tips can help boost most anyone’s height and confidence level at work or at social engagements. And when you feel better about yourself, you’ll enjoy these fashion choices even more.

Gone are the days when high heel shoes were restricted to only parties. With the passage of time these shoes are now being worn to office and even in supermarkets or socializing in a restaurant or bar.

Whether it is a formal gathering such as work, meetings, parties and wedding or may be just a dinner with your spouse, heel footwear remains an all-time favourite among women. It not only adds up to the sophistication or elegancy but also boosts up their confidence. Men too admire women with their heels on. And it is only the love for high heels that has forced the manufacturer to invent more and more innovative styles and designs to match up with the current trends. Spending a fortune over a designer wear is much equivalent to owning a pair of designer high heels.

Let’s rewind back to the 17th century when shoes were used as a tool to help Egyptian butchers to walk away from blood spilled from animal killed by them. Also by horse riders to avoid slipping while they were riding. But modern day heel footwear came into fashion by Catherine de’ Medici, wife of Duke of Orleans, who wanted to improve her height and stature. Hence she was the first one to put the ball in court and still today no women have stopped playing. More and more women enamored to look taller in a graceful way.

During the French revolution in the seventeenth century, high heel shoes were over taken by the flat soled shoes. They dominated the fashion world till the early twentieth century. But with Louis heel footwear were again back with a bang and continues to be an important accessory in women’s fashion till date. In fact nowadays apparels are designed suited to the high heel shoes.

In every situation the high heel shoe remains smart, elegant and sophisticated. Maintaining the height of fashion and ultimately reflecting the sign of a true class.

Types of heels found on high-heeled shoes include:

“Cone”, is basically a round heel shoes that is broad near the sole and narrow where it contacts the ground. Then we have the “kitten” which is a short, slim heel with the maximum height of 2 inches and diameter of not exceeding 0.4 inch at the point of contact with the ground. “Prism” or a three flat sides of the shoe that makes a triangle at the point of contact with the ground. “Spool”, appearing broad at the sole and at the point of contact with the ground but is usually narrower at the midpoint between the two. The most famous and popular, stiletto is a tall and slim heel with a minimum height of 2 inches and diameter exceeding 0.4 inch at the point of contact with the ground. The last type is of course the shoe which occupies the entire space lying under the arch and heel portions of the foot, better known as wedge.

So, here you have a huge variety to choose from and feel happy to gift it yourself. Celebrate being a woman by flaunting those long and sexy legs. Let yourself be the head turner of the upcoming party with that High heel shoe of yours.
