Q&A for How to Look Taller

Yes! Both high-waisted pants and high-waisted skirts will make your legs look longer.

Try wearing full-length flare jeans or high-waisted jeans. These will make your legs look longer.

Yes, it is fine to date someone that is the same height as you. It is also fine to date someone who is shorter than you, or someone who is taller than you. Height really makes no difference in a relationship.

At age 12 many children undergo a growth spurt, but not everyone does. Some start earlier, some later. Not knowing how tall your friends are, it's hard to know if they are just taller than average. But it is likely you are not yet at your full adult height, whatever that will be.

That is a little over average, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's great to be tall. Embrace it!

Depends on your shoes. If you're wearing boots, then no, but trainers or flat shoes, yes.

Very few people stop growing at age 12. Have patience, eat and sleep well, and you will be more likely to reach your full height potential.

The vertical line of the button-up front adds to create the illusion of height, so go for it!

You could, but the paper could eventually compress down under your weight, causing you to lose your height advantage.

Oddly, a little of both. Good sitting posture shows how tall your true height is, while slouching will make one look shorter. People with poor posture actually can shrink a little bit in old age because the spine get compressed by poor posture.

Not really. Eating a healthy diet is important for ensuring that you have the nutrition you need to grow, but there is no diet that will increase a person's height.

You have to have confidence first. Tall girls are like beautiful sculptures. You have to own your height, stand tall and smile a lot. Wearing tight sweater tops and shorter skater skirts are a cute mix.

Many boots have a higher heel. Cowboy boots have a larger heel than most other boots.

No height is too small. Everyone is different. Some people may be taller than you, but that doesn't mean they're better than you. If you have concerns about your size for health reasons, consult a doctor.

You can look at charts online to see the average height based on your age, but if you're under 18, they don't really matter; you'll hit growth spurts during puberty.

You can look at charts of average age/height relation, but there's little point if you're under the age of 20. You'll experience many unpredictable growth spurts throughout your childhood and teen years.

You can't make your child taller. If you believe something is medically wrong, consult their doctor. Otherwise, they will grow or stop growing at the rate that is natural for them. Everyone's body is different.

All you have to do is maintain a healthy diet (with plenty of protein and fruits and vegetables), drink plenty of water, and get plenty of sleep and exercise. Your body will do the rest!

All you can really do is maintain a healthy, balanced diet and get a good night's sleep every night. Your body will do the rest.
