From Victoria Taylor to Victoria Becham in five easy steps!

Victoria Beckham is by no means tall, at 5′3″ with no shoes on she is a perfect petite like us, but I always thought she was much taller so over the last few weeks I’ve tried to take on her fashion tips to make myself look taller. And here is what I’ve done…

Massive heels! I generally stick to 3 inchers which are just low enough to be comfortable but high enough to make me look longer and stand taller.

Get them took up! My sleeves on my petite suits and my hems, a good tailor or clothing alteration service like Quick Stitch that I mentioned in an earlier post make the most of my petite limbs by not hiding them under loads of material.

Be a low rider! I try and stick to low rise pants as they make my body look longer, which balances out my legs. (but not too low, nobody likes their thong hanging out!)

Long Hems, Long Legs… I know I said to take them up but I never go too extreme when I go shorter. I always try to let my hem skim an inch above the floor covering most of my shoe… I know what you’re thinking… what a waste of a beautiful shoe being hidden, I agree but the extra couple of inches are worth it!

Massive Hair! As you know I’ve got a bob so when I go out and want to look my best (and by best I mean tall and slender) so I do a little back combing to give me a taller hair do. If you have long hair you could always try a high pony tail.

Put all of these together and I could be about 10 inches taller! lol

OK so I maybe don’t do these all the time but used in combination it definitely improves my confidence and makes me feel better about myself.
