Longer Legs- Looks Can be Deceiving

Short women are all envious of women with long, flowing legs. After all, who doesn’t want great looking legs that go on for days? Of course, there are also clothing pieces that can make legs look shorter, which makes it even more difficult for women who lack height. Instead of getting frustrated, try to rethink your wardrobe so that you can get the best results with your long legs no matter what you are dealing with. Here are some tips to help you get the best looking legs in no time and get rid of short, stumpy legs for good.

-Wear pointy shoes. Anything with a pointed toe is going to elongate your legs and carry the lines on to give a more appealing look. There are plenty of great blunt-tipped shoes out there in the world, but they create abruptness that isn’t flattering and will not help your case. Use pointy shoes to elongate the leg and give you the appearance of having more to work with. If your feet are smaller, consider shoes that stretch about an inch past your toes. This will make your legs look much longer and help you look much sexier, also.

-Hem your pants. Petite women have issues with pants that are too long, but they generally just put up with it. Instead of having a bunch of pant leg around your feet or dragging on the ground, pay to have them hemmed. It costs about $8 per pair of pants, but you will look better and appear to have much longer legs than you actually do. When your pants are bunching, it basically screams that you have short legs, which is what you don’t want. With a nice hem, your legs can look great.

-If you have the body, wear skinny jeans. The tighter your clothes fit, the longer your legs will look. If you have the right size and frame, you can pull off this look. However, plus-sized women and some shapes aren’t suited for skinny jeans and can actually make things look much worse. These jeans do create thin lines for the right people, so check them out. Also, don’t wear long tops with these pants because that will defeat the whole purpose. Choose a tucked in tank or a shirt that is cut for the best results.

-Choose petite tops. When you are looking for the best legs, you have to make sure that all of your clothes fit right. Having smaller tops can give your legs more time to shine. If you have too long of a top, the bottom will look shorter. If you choose a shorter top, your legs will appear longer and you will look like you have more to work with. Don’t wear shirts that go down further than the tops of your pockets, unless you’re tucking them in.
