Clothes that make you look taller

0 Long or cropped jackets High waists Vertical stripes micro prints High-waist jeans and crop top A crop top is the best option for you if you are petite. You may wear it with high-waisted jeans to complete the look. A cropped top and skirt are an additional option. Wear vertical stripes Similar to column dressing, vertical stripes create the impression that you are much taller than you actually are. So go ahead and get those skirts and blouses with vertical stripes that you’ve always wanted. Go Monochromatic Choose monotone clothing since it helps you look put together. You will appear tall and magnificent if you wear all one color. Tuck in Your Shirt If you want to give off the impression that you are taller, you must avoid wearing baggy, boxy, or large apparel. Large prints often shrink. Large silhouettes also work. Don’t Avoid loose-fit clothes The first step to look taller is to alter your wardrobe. You may not even be aware of it, but how you dress affects a lot more than just how you appear that day. Avoid purchasing baggy, tent-style shirts since they might make you appear shorter than you are. Avoid purchasing coats that extend past your knee as well. Avoid voluminous/elongated jackets You should mostly avoid jackets, suits, or blazers that are bulky or elongated, as they shorten your legs and make your silhouette blurry and unwieldy. Buy a short, fitted jacket.

Another weekend getaway from Chennai – Kadalur Dam

0 65 kilometres away from Koyamedu is the Kadalur Dam, is a real weekend getaway from Chennai as Chennai is quite far away from most of the nature spots like waterfalls, hill stations or other water bodies. It is quite natural for Chennaiities to be excited to spot such places within 100 kilometres for a weekend getaway. Dam is constructed where the river empties into the sea, between the villages of Vayalur and Kadalur, for a distance of one kilometre. The road terminates at the north side of the river after passing through the winding alleys of the Vayalur settlement, after which a mud road slides to the dam. When we arrived, there were already a dozen vehicles and bicycles parked in front of the river, and many people were having fun swimming in the river and sliding over the spillway. This looks to be a safe area to unwind and enjoy the bath as a family, despite the slick spillway and the rocks around the dam. Veeranam Lake is a 16 km long dam in northern Tamil Nadu that was constructed in the tenth century, during the reign of the Greater Cholas. Rajaditya Chola was the one who invented it, he gave it his father’s name Parantaka I Chola’s title as inspiration. Water for this lake comes from Kollidam via the Vadavaru River. Most of the year, the lake is dry. Here is more historical information about the place. The Veera Narayana Lake is the setting for the first chapter of the book Ponniyin Selvan. Kalki goes into great detail on the characteristics of the lake and how many rivers enter it. He stated that throughout the spring, Chola princess Kundavi would visit the shores of Veeranam Lake for refreshments. The number of 64 Peetas, or 64 simhasanathipathigal, was agreed upon by Ramanujacharya based on the number of 64 openings in the lake, he adds. The lake in question is Veeraanam Lake, originally Veeranaaraayanapuram Lake.
