9 Styling Tips to Look TALLER and LEANER
About this video
Centeno teaches nine styling techniques to create a taller and leaner appearance, covering jacket selection and fit, sleeve coordination, trouser hemming, neckline choices, color blocking, pattern placement, footwear, and posture. He emphasizes that proper fit is fundamental to achieving these visual effects and recommends tailored clothing solutions.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that well-fitted jackets with built-up shoulders create the illusion of height and a slimmer silhouette, and recommends avoiding bulky styles in favor of slimmer vertical lines
- Centeno emphasizes that proper hemming on trousers—avoiding full break—and tailored sleeve lengths between shirt and jacket are essential for a polished, elongated look
- Centeno recommends using monochromatic color combinations and vertical design elements while avoiding high-contrast horizontal patterns to avoid visually cutting the body in half
- Centeno suggests that heel height, hats, and improved posture can all contribute to the perception of additional height and a leaner appearance
