How to Make Short Legs Look Longer
Not every woman was born with long, model-esque legs. However, just because your legs are on the petite side doesn’t mean you can’t have legs that look long, lean and sexy.
#Step 1 – Choose pants and skirts with vertical details which will create a strong vertical line, making your legs appear longer. Some example of vertical detail include a front crease, piping, pleats, cords or a vertical row of buttons.
# Step 2 – Wear a monochromatic outfit. If you keep the same colour from head to toe, it will not only elongate the look of your body and legs, it will also make you appear thinner.
#Step 3 – Put on some high heels if you can. Even an extra inch or two will help. If you really prefer flats, go for shoes with pointy rather than round toes.
# Step 4 – Pick dark jeans that graze the floor. Paired with the shoes you choose from the previous step, your legs will instantly look longer and slimmer.
#Step 5 – Skip the popular low-rise jeans and pants. A pair of trouser with a high waist tricks the eye into believing your legs start at a higher point than they actually do.
Tips & Warnings
An assymetrical hemline (sloping) can make your legs appear longer.
Avoid horizontal details, cropped pants, and cuffs at the bottom of your trousers, as they will actually make legs appear shorter.
Don’t wear blocks of colour.
Choose pants and jeans that are narrow and have a straight leg or boot cut style. High heels will complete the outfit and make your legs look even longer if the hem of the pants reaches mid heel.
When choosing a bathing suit or underwear, grab ones that have high cut legs- that will make them look longer.
Shorts should be fairly short. The more skin showing, the better.
Add colors that look good on your skin.
What about skirts? To add length choose:
* Mini skirts
* Long skirts with high heels
* A line skirts just below your knees paired up with nice heels.
Avoid:
# Mid calf and low waist skirts
