Baggy clothes don't make you look short. Bad proportions do.
Four rules for wearing oversized clothes if you're under 5'9:
Your pants can't drag on the ground — hem should sit just above the heel. $20 at a tailor.
Boxy on top, not long. An oversized tee drops your waistline and makes your legs look shorter.
Chunkier shoes, matched in colour to your pants.
High waist pants — up near your belly button, not by your hips. Adds more height than any shoe can.
Save this before you buy your next pair of baggy jeans.
