1. Pinstripes, or thin vertical stripes, create an illusion of height, as well as making you look thinner.  However, wider stripes may have the opposite effect.  Stay away from horizontal stripes, as those will make you look shorter and chunkier.
2. Try dressing in all one color. When you have a dark color on the bottom and a light color on the top, the focal point is your waist. This cuts you in two and makes you look shorter.  With all one color, the eye is drawn up your body, which gives the illusion of height.  Choose a color you like and that looks good on you.
3. The right pants can elongate your legs.  The type of pant that works best will vary based on your body types.  Avoid those with flared bottoms and excessive decoration.
4. Use a lift in your shoes, or high heels.  This may seem obvious, but it does work!
5. Wear wider shoes.  Chunky sneakers or sandals make your feet look bigger.  Tall people have proportionately bigger feet, so if you increase your foot size slightly, it will make you look a little bit taller.

Using these clothing tips, you'll appear taller.  In today's tough job market, you need every advantage you can get! /?010710" How To Dress To Look Taller Men
