Rida had the following question:
I am really short for my age. What can I wear to make me stand out from the crowd?
Well Rida, some of the world's most glamorous women are on the short side, so you're in good company. Here are some tips to help you look taller and feel comfortable.
You can instantly add height to your frame by slipping into a pair of stylish high heels. You don't have to go for four or five inchers, just get what's comfortable for you. And if you've never worn heels before you should always practice at home before going out in them.
These Kenneth Cole shoes have a platform for even more height!
Avoid floor-length dresses and stick with flirty minidresses to elongate and show off your gams. If you're not comfortable with the very mini, try one that hits about a half inch to an inch above your knee - anything longer than that will cut off your leg line and make you appear shorter.
This season offers a variety of short dresses in a ton of fun silhouettes. Minidresses like this one from Lotta Stensson can make your legs look longer.
Pant styles seem to change constantly but no matter what style you prefer make sure they fit well (i.e. not too long and not too baggy).
Whether your jeans or trousers are wide-leg, skinny, or straight, they should never cover your shoes completely. If you love cropped pants steer clear of wide legs and opt for slimmer leg openings. Like dresses and skirts, shorts should hit above the knee, and look fabulous with heels! Lots of stores offer pants in Petite so you should be able to find the size you need with the length that is best for you.
Opt for pants that come in Petite like these Gap Original Low Rise Khakis.
Other looks to try are V-necks and vertical stripes, both of which will give you the illusion of being taller.
But the most important thing to help you stand out is confidence! You'll look gorgeous on the outside if you feel great on the inside, so strut your stuff and keep you head high - the view is better from up there! -- Angel
