Look Taller With These High-waisted Pants From Thai Fashion Boutiques

Shorty. Pint-sized. Teeny-weeny. These are the names that you have probably heard at some point in your life because of your short stature.

Scientifically speaking, a person’s height is mostly determined by their genes as well as their lifestyle and diet. They say that there is no “magic pill” that can make you taller, but there are tricks you can do!

One of the fashion hacks you should know is the power of high-rise pants. When worn with the right footwear (boots or pointed flats), high-waisted pants create the illusion that makes your legs look longer.  From slim-cut trousers to wide-leg jeans, here’s where to shop high-waisted bottoms in Thailand that will make your wish to look taller come true.
