Question from Readers:
It seems that model Miyu Yonekura looks taller than her stated height of 169cm. Is it because the room where the photos were taken is small, or is she wearing platform shoes?
Considering Miyu Yonekura’s Height
Recently, there has been a discussion about how model Miyu Yonekura appears taller than her official height of 169cm. Indeed, her style
is remarkable, and there are various reasons why she might look taller visually. As someone who is studying law, I found myself curious about this topic.
The Illusion Created by Style
People with good style can sometimes appear taller than their actual height. For instance, if someone has a small face, long limbs, or broad shoulders, they can give an overall elongated impression. Personally, I have a friend from university who is under 170cm but has an incredible figure. Whenever I’m next to her, I always feel shorter. Being around such friends sometimes makes me want to wear high-heeled shoes to appear taller myself.
The Impact of the Shooting Environment
Moreover, the environment in which the photos are taken can also play a significant role. When shooting in a confined space or a low-ceiling area, the subject often appears taller. I remember attending a friend’s photoshoot where the studio ceiling was surprisingly low. It was something I usually wouldn’t notice, but seeing it in person created a sense of pressure. Photos taken in such settings often evoke the feeling of “Wow, this looks tall!”
The Presence of Heels and Insoles
Additionally, we must not overlook the impact of heels and insoles. It’s quite likely that Miyu Yonekura wears high heels or uses insoles. Recently, when I was shopping for shoes with a friend, I tried on a pair of high-heeled shoes in the fitting room and, astonishingly, my legs looked much longer. I got so caught up in the moment that I ended up buying a pair of shoes I wouldn’t normally wear. Those moments truly can be described as the “magic of appearance.”
Share Your Experiences
So, what do you think? If you have any interesting stories about models or friends and their style, I would love to hear them in the comments. It would be fun to share how we present our own style or any concerns we have about our height. I look forward to hearing everyone’s experiences, no matter how small!
