What are some clothes I can wear to make me look taller? I'm only 5'7" and even though I always wear boots I'm shorter than most guys. I feel self-conscious about it around girls.

Anybody got that infographic about how manlets are the real master race?

There are a couple fashion tricks that you can use to make yourself look taller and there are a few articles of clothing you should avoid if that's something you're worried about but you really shouldn't worry about it that much. There are a lot of very attractive celebrities that everyone fauns over who are around your height. Zac Effron, Tom Cruise, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Downey Jr. are all between 5'7" and 5'9". There are plenty of shorter ones too. You're like, what, 2 inches below the average height? I'm assuming you're American. If you are, you're still taller than the average American girl.

If you're healthy, confident, and dress well, it won't be that noticeable unless you live in like Minnesota or some shit with a bunch of North Germanics who are all 6 feet tall. The infographic I mentioned is lying when it calls manlets the master race but it does point out that there are advantages to being a bit shorter and that being tall isn't a one way ticket to godhood. Like having naturally awesome hair, a nice smile, or a good jawline, height is just one of many factors in your appearance.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, what can you wear to make yourself look taller?

>Accessories high up on the body, such as sunglasses, hats, or scarves. At the same time, try to avoid accessories that don't fit or look bulky.
>Narrow collars are better than wide ones
>Vertical patterns, when they don't look like some tacky shit your 50 year old boss would wear, are your friend
>Don't wear pants that cover your shoes.
>If you're so insecure that you feel the need to wear heel inserts or something like that, make sure they're subtle
>I've heard that contrasting different shades of a single color instead of contrasting colors makes you look taller but I don't really understand it
>darker/less light pants + less dark/lighter shirts is a helpful combo
>avoid baggy or slouching pants

Do this. You'll have to eat a lot more than the average guy but it will pay off.

You can look taller with the right clothes unless you have reall short legs and a long torso then you're basically fucked

Cuban heels, Little Richard pompadour at least 10" tall, striped pants, an Abraham Licoln top hat jauntily nestled on my pompadour, and the ability to cock my head and look "down" my nose at anyone and everyone, be they six feet tall or Kareem Abdul Jabbar-types.

Driving a Mini Cooper also helps.
