So, you want to look taller?

December 15, 2009

Today, we are going to study two elements which are the most important element to becoming taller.  These two elements are posture and fashion.

Posture
Stance is one of the most important elements when considering becoming taller. Straightening your stance can make you appear more imposing straight away. If you allocate some minutes in your day to work on the right muscles and boost others (i.e. this is in essence what fixing your posture is), this will make an incredible difference in not only how tall you look but will make you look far more assured to other you interact with as well.

A simple exercise which can be used to improve your posture is:

·    Place your back on a wall when you are standing up, and slowly move your back down the wall till your legs are somewhat bent and your buttocks, upper back, and the back of your head is  pressed to the wall (click the link below to see a picture).  Keep this position, then stand up and walk around.  You should imagine a string going up through your back and the top of your head, and connecting you to the roof.

Try to get in the routine of doing self-checks throughout your day so you should get intentionally aware of the type of posture you have. If you have weak stance from overuse, such as working a desk job, or a lack of  exercise, the difference in your energy levels will be huge once your posture improves.

Very nearly all of us can recognize good posture when we see it, and are inspired by how free and strong it makes someone seem, so make it happen for yourself!

Fashion

Here are a few fashion ideas to help you use your dress sense to improve your stature:

–  Wear a single coloured outfit, or have colours that blend properly with each other. As soon as a color break is introduced, your body becomes visually divided, and this will accentuate your short stature.

–  Correspond your pants’ colour to your shoe colour to help the legs look longer.

–  Wear clothes with vertical lines . Vertical lines make a person appear taller. It’s a visual trick that’s played on our minds all the time, and no one ever notices.

–  Wear clothes with shoulder pads. Shoulder pads make your shoulders look broader and your whole body slender.

–  Wear shoes with thick soles to provide the illusion of height, such as Height Increasing Shoes.

–  Wear a jacket that is of the correct size. They should end where the buttocks meet the legs
