Tweetable Quotes
“White shoes do make people look taller. And, particularly for women, the color nude for shoes or high heels gives a natural extension of appearance to the legs because it’s matching the same color.” (04:26) (Dr. Brian)
“Another tip to give that optical illusion of looking taller is wearing a short jacket. A tiny jacket where the waist comes up high on the jacket also extends the appearance of the legs and mid-section and makes the upper body look smaller. Again, you’re playing with the optics here.” (06:24) (Dr. Brian)
“Now let’s talk about bags, purses, backpacks, etc. Can that have an effect on how you appear? Turns out it does. Wearing a smaller bag will make you appear taller. On the flip side, carrying a big bag will make you appear shorter.” (07:30) (Dr. Brian)
“Here’s another one for guys, wearing more fitted clothes – so avoiding baggy shirts and pants – that can make you look taller.” (08:39) (Dr. Brian)
“If you roll your shoulders back a little bit, drop your shoulder blades and stick your chest out a little bit, you’re getting better posture. You’re elongating your spine and you’re gonna actually get a little taller – not just in appearance but really taller – because you’re using your anatomy to your advantage.” (09:33) (Dr. Brian)
