For some, growing taller through natural means may not be as easily accomplished as it is for others. Depending on your physical condition and/or age, exercises or other procedures used to help gain natural height may not be feasible. Or perhaps you're only looking for a temporary solution to make yourself look taller, without actually gaining any height.
Regardless of the situation, there are three easy ways to gain some height, both real and perceived, which requires very little effort on your part, just that burning desire to stand eye-to-eye with your peers.
1) If anyone was thinking of a simple way to gain height, shoes would probably be their first thought, and it's a good one. Yet while footwear that obviously increases height is of little use, there is footwear that will do the same, without being obvious that it's doing so. Insoles can also help perform this feat.
Shoes can readily be found on the market which will discreetly increase your height a good couple of inches. Insoles can also help to raise your height a good inch or two, but must be compatible with the footwear you plan to use them with.
2) Keeping with the theme of outerwear, clothes too can be used to achieve the appearance of increased height, though unlike footwear or insoles, you're not actually gaining any height with these methods, just the appearance of being taller.
Leg wear is often misused by people attempting to look taller, as they wear their pants too high in the hopes that this will make their legs appear longer. This actually has the opposite effect, and should be avoided. Wear your pants as low as you naturally gain. Baggy clothing should also be avoided, as this gives you a heavier and more squashed appearance. Wearing shirts adorned with vertical lines is a neat little trick that can be used to make you appear taller.
3) Lastly is your hair, which of course is somewhat up to the whim of the Gods, at least as far as whether or not you have any. This shouldn't of course be an issue for women, but balding men may want to consider getting a hair piece, or trying out hair renewal products.
No, we're not advocating you sporting a high rise Mohawk, but even shortly cut hair, slightly spiked at the front does an excellent job of making you look taller. Women should avoid having long hair which hides the neck, instead styling it upward if they do wish to maintain their hair's length.
Using one or more of these techniques, you can easily give the appearance of being a few inches taller than you actually are, no long workout regime required. - 15266
