Is your height stopping you from confidently expressing your fabulous feminine self to the world? Well, it shouldn’t!
Sure, many crossdressers and transgender women tend to be taller than what’s considered “average” for females. But honestly, who cares?
Tall women are absolutely stunning!
However, if your aim is to play down your height a bit, there are some simple techniques that can help you achieve just that.
In this blog post for tall crossdressers and trans women, I share 4 easy ways to appear shorter.
1. Don’t Slouch
While you might be tempted to downplay your height by slouching, this is the first thing you’ll want to avoid.
Slouching isn’t attractive and it just makes it obvious that you’re not comfortable with your height.
So, resist the urge to slouch. Instead, stand tall! You’ll come across as confident and self-assured.
2. Wear the Right Shoes
If you want to appear shorter, it’s clear that you should avoid high heels. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re limited to flats!
Consider opting for shoes with a stylish kitten heel. A small heel adds elegance to your look without a significant height boost.
Additionally, these shoe styles can make your legs and feet appear shorter and smaller:
- Consider wearing shoes with straps over the instep or around the ankle. This helps break up the long line of your legs.
- Opt for shoes with rounded toes instead of pointy ones. This visually reduces the length of your feet.
3. Dress to Downplay Your Height
The clothes you wear have a huge impact on your overall appearance. Here are 5 dos and don’ts for downplaying your height:
- DO choose full skirts and dresses to draw the eye horizontally instead of vertically. (More width = less height.)
- DON’T wear super tight clothes. (Less width = more height.)
- DO wear a different color top and bottom to visually break up your figure.
- DON’T wear monochromatic outfits; this makes you look even taller.
- DO wear a contrasting belt to interrupt the eye from going straight up and down a long torso.
4. Choose the Right Hairstyle
DON’T: Volume at the crown
DO: Volume at the sides
DO: Shoulder length hair
The last thing to consider is your hair. The wrong hairstyle can make you look even taller, so here are 3 suggestions for avoiding unnecessary height:
- Avoid hairstyles with a lot of volume at the crown as this literally adds inches to your stature.
- Try a layered or wavy hairstyle that adds some volume around the sides of your face.
- Avoid wearing your hair too long since this tends to make you look even taller. Generally speaking, shoulder length hair is most flattering.
In conclusion
Don’t forget that tall women exude elegance, grace, and beauty! But if you’re still interested in downplaying your height, now you’ve got 4 simple tactics to try out.
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. If you’re a tall crossdresser or transgender woman, how do you personally embrace your height?

Charlise Theron is my favorite. I absolutely love boots with chunky heels. At 6’5″, I don’t get out often as my fem self. When I do, I wear the clothes that my me feel good, and the h*ll with what other people say or think. Feel pretty, Look pretty, Be pretty.
I’m 5’9″ and hoping I don’t grow too much more. I already don’t eat very much so I don’t want to eat less than I do to stop growing, anyone know any healthy way to cut your growth off?
I’m 6′ 1/2″ tall. Even though I am tall, I still like wearing heels. I have been wearing them a long time and never head a problem walking in them, even when I first started wearing them. I have found that the maximum height heels I can walk in without problems is 3 1/2″. I don’t want to seem THAT tall, so I won’t go over the 3/12″ heel. I always felt rounded shoes were more attractive than square or pointed shoes, so that is what I always looked for. My problem has always been finding shoes that fit my foot size. Usually what I find something in my size, I find it very unattractive and wouldn’t want to wear them. Any suggestions on where to go for affordable women’s size 11W-12 shoes?
I shop payless shoes and thrift stores.. Sears sometimes has 11w-12’s (my size also).
Tall?

My height. I’m proud of my height at 6′-2″and I really love wearing high heels I want to be as passable and for girls to notice that I’m a TG WOMAN and approach me thus far its been very interesting and rewarding I’ve found that GG’s get a kick out of talking to a TGwoman at a bar and they love my high heels and always ask how long I’ve been wearing them so that I don’t stumble and fall when I walk. I’ve discovered that they are also interested in my personalityand some do want to take me home for the night to snuggle or get crazy with for a new experiences have a list of my favorite TGwomen (tranny’s) and what I like about each of them and I try and figure out how I can be more like them to improve my own self image and esteem and one day I’ll go to the adult video and news awards to meet some of them in person I hope,Tara Emory I think I love you!& bailey Jay and Bee Armitage I just want to get between y’all at your next shoot! Kimber James what can I say other than you’re the highest level of sophistication for a TG WOMAN, be an honor to escort you around town one night and be at your beck and call the best thing I appreciate about all these ladies is that they’re proud of who they are and they don’t try to hide that monster dragon in their pants. Their take or leave it attitude about who they are is the same way I feel. This is who I am you don’t have to like UTor love me just accept it and deal with it!
I’m 5’11” and I love to wear 3″‘ heels with pointy toes. They are very comfortable and it feels natural. Why worry about your height? There are many women out there that are tall and they wear high heels. Some even wear higher heels than me.
I am younger a teen and I am 5 5″ I don’t want to grow any more and I am tall for my race and I am the tallest girl in 6th grade
I don’t like my high heels to be to high, because my height is 5’11”. But after seeing all these lovely ladies who are taller than me I would feel more confident in higher heels.
