Kris Bernal shares styling tricks that make petite girls look taller

Standing at only 5'1" and weighing only 95 lbs, Kris Bernal  is the very definition of petite.

But with the help of celebrity stylist John Paul Dizon, the Kapuso actress showed that there are styling tricks that make petite girls look taller.

In her latest vlog, the pair shared the following basic, yet incredibly helpful tips:

1. Above the knee dresses and skirts

Dresses and skirts that fall above the knees give the impression that your legs are longer, Dizon said.

"Kapag above the knee talaga, nakakahaba siya. More skin ang nakikita kaya mas nakakatangkad siya," he said.

More skin, more fun!

2. Dresses with slits

The fashion stylist said that if long dresses or skirts cannot be avoided, the trick is to choose one with a slit.

"Kung hindi natin maiwasan na hindi ka mag-above the knee...ang daya lang diyan, mag-slit ka," he said.

Pair your dress of choice with pointed pumps that matches your skin color and you're good to go!

3. Monochromatic co-ords

Another tip is to opt for a matching top and bottom with the same color.

"Mas malinis siya, tapos mas diretso 'yung look so nakakahaba siya, walang putol," Dizon said.

4. High-waist bottoms

To give the illusion that your legs are longer, consider high-waist bottoms — preferably wide-leg ones!

"Ang illusion niya mahaba 'yung legs mo," he said.

5. Tangga swimsuits

Dizon even gave a tip for when you're spending a day in the beach: wear tangga swimsuits.

Tangga swimsuits are one-piece or two-piece swimsuits that are incredibly high cut.

When posing for an OOTD shot with these, don't forget to put one foot on tiptoes.
