Hey guys today I'm putting together another post where I'm showing how I can transform outfits from basic to really something that's more taller and slimmer looking since I'm 5'1 (or 155cm) I really view fashion as a form of makeup where I can work with things like color to really enhance and make me feel more confident in my day also I want to work with things like proportion and the cut of the garment so let's get started with the first outfit for the first one I'm going to start with a jean jacket and some navy flats and then a lighter outfit underneath with a light henley and then some oversized very loose-fitting jeans so I love and wear all of these pieces that I own but not every single piece that I own is made to look taller but there's ways where you can combine each one of these pieces to work but for this outfit since I'm wearing light colors underneath it's really emphasizing wear this jacket cuts me which is right at my widest point so I'm gonna just ditch the jacket for now now you'll notice that because my proportions have you know a longer torso and then shorter legs this shirt is a bit too long for me it's really making that long torso look even longer than my legs so I'm going to tuck in my top that's one of my main tips is anytime that you can make your legs look longer by where you're in your top is going to end it's gonna really help balance that out so after doing that you'll notice that these are my looser fitting jeans I wear them you know if I'm feeling a bit bloated if it's that time of the month but I do have a really tighter option because they are a lovely pair of jeans I think they're really flattering I do need to get them hemmed up a little bit though so I'm just kind of rolling them for today but just by making that small shift into just sizing down one size on my jeans jeans aren't necessarily supposed to be extremely comfortable some days they need to just be more flattering nobody said jeans were comfortable – no – it's a lie – it's a lie – so if we could all get rid of the idea – debunk that straight away like good jeans are not that comfortable – no one's having a good time in good jeans they're horrible they give you camel toe everything hurts it's hurting here it's up the bum – but oh my god you look good – but they look great – the thing though about lighter jeans is that they will always emphasize you there so if you maybe want to look more you know curvy or you know wider down on your pants you can have a lighter option but visually I would like to go darker on these jeans so I'm gonna swap them.
Out with a tighter fitting and darker wash jeans these jeans are also higher waisted so they are honestly the highest rise I have in a pant and so they're really gonna elongate even though right now I've got like two contrasting colors and I'll get into that in a little bit I get a lot of questions when talking about high waisted pants if it's okay to wear mid rise are low-rise and I think that if you have proportions opposite of mine if your legs are super long in your torso is very much shorter then you can go for like a mid rise and it's still gonna balance out that illusion and still look really flattering on you now the henley that I chose to wear today I specifically chose because I have it also in a navy so I want to show what monochrome can do this is one of my favorite tips because instead of virtually making two squares stacked on top of each other in the colors you're going to create one long rectangle that's now going to just make a solid line from your shoulders down to the end of your pants so that's always one of my tips to lengthen and elongate and anytime that you can do that then it's going to stretch the illusion of how tall you are so you'll notice that my top is untucked at first and I wanted to do that so that I could illustrate the illusion of monochrome so if you're just one of those people who's like I don't enjoy tucking in my top you don't have to if you're going with monochrome you're still going to have that long illusion but for me I'm pear-shaped so if I'm displaying my smallest point then that's going to really work for,
Tucking in my top so what's really happening here is I've got a navy outfit white ankles which is proof I need to go on vacation and then I'm wearing really dark shoes so that color blocking still applies when it comes to footwear so because I want to expose my ankles here I'm gonna go with a skin tone shoe this is one of the first tips I ever did with the series and I'm still wearing these shoes they're amazing so their skin toned and they're pointed so what's really gonna help if you want to wear flats is that you can go with a pointed toe that's gonna add a few inches visually so those shoes really work if you're one who just does not want to wear a heel or maybe just that day you're not necessarily feeling like you want to wear a heel that's a really great tip but because this outfit could be so much more elongated by wearing a heel I want to just show that for illusion in illustration sake so these are ankle boots that's gonna really help already compared to like a knee length boot just visually to elongate my legs and then also having that skin tone color is gonna help and then adding the heel inevitably somebody is going to see the intro of this post and be like oh she just adds heels you know problem solved of course that's how you look taller but there's so many other little aspects that come into play with an outfit like this so just seeing the before and after I think is gonna help so much but first I want to add a jacket so originally I started out with a jacket that hits me right at my widest point but I also want to show a different jacket something that is a lot longer if you want to look taller with a jacket the best way that you can do that is by going with a really long jacket or else a cropped jacket so this is hitting me right at my knee ideally I'd like to have a jacket that's going a little bit above or below my knee but this is working just fine especially since it's.
