YooA's style secrets: How to look taller with fashion hacks

Spotlight on YooA

Oh My Girl's YooA recently cheerfully posted on social media that she's not 159 centimeters tall, but rather 159.2 centimeters, turning a tiny decimal into a delightful headline.

Despite her petite frame, she often looks strikingly tall in photos and on TV, and she happily shared the four go-to moves behind that illusion with a wink to fans. The tone of her reveal matched her stage energy-playful yet precise-inviting followers to try the same proportion-savvy habits in everyday outfits

1) High-waist magic that lifts the leg line

YooA defaults to high-waisted pants and skirts that visually lift the waistline so the legs appear to start higher, instantly lengthening her lower body.

She keeps tops tucked or slim to ensure the seam is visible, and favors clean, straight hems to keep the vertical line unbroken from waist to ankle.

2) Crop-top x short-bottom combo that shortens the torso

Her second move is the crop-top with mini skirt or short shorts pairing, which trims visual torso length while extending the leg line in one glance. Matching sets or monochrome looks reduce breakpoints, and compact jackets end above the hip so the high waist and long legs remain the star.

3) Height-smart shoes that add centimeters and sleek lines

For footwear, YooA rotates platform heels and slim pumps that provide real lift while keeping proportions light; pointed or nude-tone toes extend the foot-to-leg line further. Even in sneakers, a modest internal lift and slightly thicker outsole add subtle elevation, stacking neatly with her clothing tactics for a convincing gain.

4) Pose and posture discipline that photographs taller

Instead of facing the camera square, she shifts weight back, sets a gentle S-curve, and angles one leg toward the lens to maximize length.

A lifted sternum, relaxed shoulders, and extended toes carve clean negative space around limbs-making the head read smaller and the legs read longer in every frame.

Bonus notes on styling synergy

These four habits work best together: high waists and crops control proportion, heels deliver measurable height, and posing locks in vertical lines for photos and motion. On busy schedules, she often repeats proven formulas in different textures and colors-denim minis, knit crop tops, satin platforms-so results stay fresh while the silhouette stays long.
