DRESS TO LOOK TALL

Yesterday , like any other boring day , while leaving my class after dispersal I came across this girl who was struggling to walk coherently. At first I thought , may be the load of the books which she was carrying in her arms made her stumble ( foolish me ! :P)  Then I suddenly realized that was not the books but the heels , almost 3-4 inches of heels , which she wore on a normal college day!!! :O
Thinking to myself , aren't these heels too long to be worn on such an ordinary day?! , I subconsciously uttered , "What made you wear such high heels?". "What???" , was all she could utter with a perplexed face  bemused by my question. A little embarrassed , I tried to sneak out of this awkward moment as she said "sorry?". As she stood there a little shocked I continued "Err..I mean there is nothing special in the college today , I guess , so why these?" emphasizing on the height of heels. She gave me a look which clearly stated who the hell I am to ask!! Ofcourse , who the hell I was to ask , silly me!! I again tried to sneak out of this now-getting-more-awkward situation when she asked in a low voice "What do you think make girls wear heels?". The answer was obvious. " THEIR DISPARATE LOVE FOR THE HEELS!". "But that is not the only reason" , she explained , " especially for the girls like me , you know " .
After scanning her from head to toe, like fools :P , I finally understood the reason she was talking about. she would be merely five feet tall. And just to look tall she was struggling with those high heels. This made me ruminate over the fact : ARE HEELS THE ONLY OPTION TO COMPENSATE YOUR HEIGHT? Or there is something more that can make you look taller?!
So , I dis some click-click (research) on google and here I am with some great tips for you all .
(These are not my personal views but this is what the experts and the designers have to say. So you can rely on the tips :P )
Read on to enhance your already great personality :)

• WEAR VERTICAL STRIPES :  Anything that elongates your height is a good thing. Vertical stripes help extend the look of a shorter body. Patterns such as pinstripe , chalkstipe and herringbone also give the " vertical effect ".
• DO NOT GO SHORT : Wearing short sleeved clothing and shorts draws attention to your limbs and makes you look shorter. Go for linen trousers and lightweight long sleeve shirts that you can roll up on the forearm during hotter months ;)
• WAIST IT : Ditch the hipster pants and jeans to feign longer legs. Wearing pants down on the hips makes your legs look stubby. Just wear the waistband of your pants higher or at the natural waist to look taller.
• MONOCHROME IT : Discarding contrasting colours from your appearance helps streamline your look. Keep all your clothes within a consistent colour theme to look tall. You can opt for bright colours too , as long as you wear the same hue from top to bottom.

This was a small piece of information I shared with you all. Hope you get benefited :)

Any kind of suggestions or queries are most welcome. :)
