We are not here to make you feel body-shamed. We know you are petite. On the other hand, we know that sometimes Petites do feel like having some extra inches.

You may have noticed that baggy jackets and shirts cover your body in a way that it appears shorter than it is. Your torso will look large but the legs will look even shorter.
Similar to baggy clothing, long jackets hide your legs too. So you look even shorter than you are. Opt for waist-length jackets and coats so that your legs will be visible and you look slightly taller.
Monochromatic outfits give a cohesive look that works on the same logic as vertical shapes. The same colour from top to bottom will give make eyes run up and down giving a taller illusion.
Crop tops are the perfect choice to wear. Especially with high-waist jeans. It gives an elongated look to your legs. They hit you on the waist, which is the smallest area of the stomach so it looks flattering.
There is a thumb rule in fashion, big prints give shorter look and tiny prints gives a taller illusion. Therefore, you should opt for as tinier prints as possible to look a few inches taller.
The aim is to flaunt your legs. With small boots and tight jeans, your legs will have a straight shape. Similarly, long boots highlight your legs in a manner to give a taller illusion. You do not need to wear any heels in this case. Highlight the straightness of your legs, that is it!
The vertical stripes roll one’s eye up to down that tends to give a taller appearance. If you wear something with a vertical pattern, you will automatically look to have more inches than you have.
Toe pointed footwear give an elongated look to your legs. It adds an inch or two to your feet. If in case of the heel, it adds four-inch extra height (two of foot, and two of heels).
Moreover, you do not necessarily need a pointed heel. Flat toe-pointed sandals will serve the purpose too.
