In art and design and architecture, the rule of thirds can be applied horizontally as well as vertically but, for getting dressed, only the vertical concerns us.
If you are already tall it makes you look leggier, and whatever height you are it enhances your silhouette, giving you a more supple, fluid line.
The principle of the rule of thirds is that an image is more appealing if it is divided into one-third and two-thirds than if divided in half.
I’ve never got to the bottom of this mystifying mix-up, but the rule of thirds is a more effective solution than high heels.
And it doesn’t just make you look taller, it makes you look better.
