1. Flared pants
Flared pants have become a wardrobe staple for many women in recent years.

Flared jeans
The flared silhouette creates the illusion of longer legs, especially when paired with heels or high-top sneakers, and a tucked-in or cropped top to elongate the torso.

Flared trousers
Whether in denim or a dressier fabric, flared pants can add height and create a striking look.
2. High-waisted jeans
Jeans are a wardrobe essential for many, but pay attention to the rise of the waistline, as a high-waisted pair can create the illusion of a longer leg length.

Another tip is to opt for a cropped length that hits just above the ankle for a more streamlined, leg-lengthening effect.
3. High-waisted tailored trousers
Most high-waisted tailored trousers feature a self-tie or fabric belt, and this detail can be a great way for office-goers to cinch in their waist.

The tailored silhouette of these pants can easily add a few extra inches to your height.
4. Pleated trousers
For office-goers, pleated trousers are a great choice for adding height.

The vertical pleats along the front of these trousers create a slimming, elongating effect that makes you appear taller. Opt for white, beige, or pastel colors in addition to the classic black.
5. Shorts
As summer approaches, shorts become a popular choice. And of course, certain styles can be great for creating the illusion of height for those who are petite or want to show off their legs.
Shorter shorts will give the appearance of longer legs than longer shorts.

However, be sure to pair your shorts with a top in a similar color to create a more cohesive look that tricks the eye into seeing a longer line.
6. A-line skirt
The A-line skirt is a classic and flattering choice for many. When worn, it can accentuate your height or create the illusion of extra height.

Just be sure to keep the top streamlined, whether you pair it with a t-shirt, blouse, or button-down shirt.
