1. Keep the length short

When you want to pick out your perfect summer dresses, all you petite ladies try and keep the length short. Shorter hemlines gives the illusion of longer and leaner legs and hence automatically elongate your body.

2. Avoid ankle straps

If looking tall is what you are aiming for, ditch those shoes with ankle straps. Ankle straps cut midway through your legs making them look shorter and stockier. The attention will then go on your torso.

3. Try monochrome

An all-white chikankari suit, or a black peplum skirt and top, or maybe a jumpsuit. Monochrome can be your saviour if you wish to look longer and leaner. The colour similarity creates a beautiful illusion and achieves exactly the look that you have been aiming for.

4. Vertical stripes

5. Nude pumps

Wearing high heeled shoes in the colour of your feet does nothing but make you feel like you’ve got longer pair of legs. Isn’t that the perfect reason why you must have a pair of nude pumps in your wardrobe to elongate your silhouette? Also, high heels improve your posture and give the look of a leaner you.
