For the most part, growing taller is out of our hands, coming down to many factors which we have little to no control over. While some steps to make small height gains can be undertaken, these may not be possible for everyone, and even then, you still may be looking to appear a little taller than you are. Or perhaps you simply want to appear taller for certain occasions only, without actually getting taller.
Whatever the case may be, we'll detail three proven and easily utilized methods for making yourself look taller, without actually gaining a single inch.
1) If anyone was thinking of a simple way to gain height, shoes would probably be their first thought, and it's a good one. Yet while footwear that obviously increases height is of little use, there is footwear that will do the same, without being obvious that it's doing so. Insoles can also help perform this feat.
Shoes can readily be found on the market which will discreetly increase your height a good couple of inches. Insoles can also help to raise your height a good inch or two, but must be compatible with the footwear you plan to use them with.
2) Keeping with the theme of outerwear, clothes too can be used to achieve the appearance of increased height, though unlike footwear or insoles, you're not actually gaining any height with these methods, just the appearance of being taller.
The first rule of thumb is to wear tighter fitting clothing, so much as you can get away with it, based on your body shape. Loose fitting or baggy clothing gives its wearer a squatter, shorter appearance. When speaking of leg wear, pants should be carried just above the hips, and not approaching the stomach area. Vertical lines on shirts are another useful tactic for giving off the illusion of increased height.
3) Climbing to the top of the ladder, we reach your hair, which also plays a role in how tall you look. This may require slight adjustments in your hair length and style to implement, but can have great effects when used properly.
Now we're not talking about raising your hair to the sky like you just got caught in an electrical storm, but even slightly spiked hair can do wonders for men, while women should wear their hair up as much as possible.
These are three useful techniques for gaining height that can easily be made use of, and combines, could add plenty of actual and perceived height to your appearance. - 17944
