If you landed on this page through Google search, then I can only assume that these two conditions apply to you: First, you think you’re short and fat, and second, you want to look taller and slimmer when dressing up. If both of these apply to you, then this guide is for you. Otherwise, it’s time to click away as this article will probably only offend you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: This post wasn’t written to make the women who aren’t tall and slim feel less attractive. Instead, this post was written to answer a specific question that plenty of women around the world ask. And that question is: How to Dress When You’re Short and Fat. Pure and simple. So here it is, a guide with no holds barred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Elongate your body with vertical lines and patterns.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Vertical stripes and patterns trick the eyes to see a taller figure by emphasizing length and downplaying width. Because of this, not only are they elongating but also slimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to see how effective vertical lines are at elongation? Then take two photos of yourself, one wearing a solid-colored dress and one wearing a vertical striped dress and you’ll see a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Wear flesh-colored high heels.<\/h2>\n\n\n

It’s common knowledge that that high-heeled shoes are height-enhancing. But did you know that flesh-colored footwear will add even more to your height? By being flesh-colored, they’ll trick the eyes to see your shoes as extensions of your legs, thus elongating your figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you need all the height that you can get, pointy pump shoes will never let you down as their shape, in itself, will elongate your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Match your footwear’s colors to that of your pants and skirts.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Matching your footwear’s color to your bottom has the same elongating effect as wearing your footwear in nude colors. They trick the eyes to see your frame taller than it actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Follow the Rule of Thirds.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever worn a highly recommended outfit for your body type only to end up wondering, “Wow, something is off with this outfit. Is this supposed to flatter me because I don’t feel like it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s probably because you’re going against the rule of thirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rule states that a 1\/3 to 2\/3 ratio (and vice versa) is the most aesthetically pleasing division of spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pay attention and you’ll see this ratio everywhere in art and nature\u2014 architecture, painting, photography (and come to think of it) the human body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you feel that your outfit looks off though, examine and adjust it in accordance with Rule of Thirds and see the magic unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how does this apply to fashion and dressing up a short and fat figure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ratio will make either your torso or your legs appear longer. If you have a short torso and want to lengthen it, wear the 2\/3 and 1\/3 ratio. If you want to elongate your legs, wear 1\/3 to 2\/3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
