As you, our dear readers, have repeatedly requested, today we bring you a compilation of tips for short girls.

Did you know? The average height of a Mexican woman, according to the INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography), is 1.57 meters, so no, you're not alone.

Sadly, the advertising we find in virtually all media—television, movies, and social media—does nothing more than sell us the idea that "a tall woman is a beautiful woman."

Let's accept that tall women are beautiful, but short women are also very beautiful, so we've designed this handy guide with five tips for short women.

If you belong to that group who wasn't born with the long legs that are now a top trend, this article is definitely for you; we promise that if you put what you read into practice, you'll look a few inches taller and slimmer.

Note: If you missed our article last week , "HOW TO LOOK MORE ELEGANT? GET IT WITH THESE 5 TIPS," click on the title and check it out. We know you like the tips, and you'll definitely love these.

Let's get started...

• TIP 1 Choosing the right print is important so that we can identify what flatters us and what doesn't. If our goal is to look taller, vertical stripes are an excellent option since they create an illusion of continuity and this manages to lengthen the silhouette.
• TIP 2 Asymmetrical clothing is your best ally. The brain always seeks perfect symmetry, and when the human eye perceives asymmetries, things appear to be much taller. We see this in buildings, and it applies in the same way to our clothing. If your intention is to look taller, asymmetries are an excellent option.
• TIP 3 High-waisted jeans are your best friend. By splitting our waist in half, they create the illusion of a defined waist and much longer legs, unlike a hip cut. Therefore, high-waisted jeans should not be missing from your closet.
• TIP 4 Choose monochromatic garments; these will not cut into your waist or legs and will create an effect that makes you look elongated, thinner, and therefore more stylized.
• TIP 5 Platform heels: If heels aren't your strong suit, try this type of platform. This will give you the stability that stiletto heels don't offer. 7-centimeter platforms are very comfortable and beginner-friendly.

These were the five tips we bring for you,
