Happy New Year! If you strive to be the best version of yourself this year, it starts with the proper outfit. Eating healthy and exercising are of utmost importance, of course, but you can leverage specific patterns, materials and designs to look much taller, longer and leaner than you actually are. Call it a secret, but we’re calling it a hack!
Dresses are an easy way to visually elongate your torso, especially when you opt for midi or maxi dresses. Striped skirts, high waists and tiered styles are just a few ways to look supermodel tall, but we rounded up some of our favorite flattering dresses below that go beyond the basics. You can find them all on Amazon!
