If nature hasn’t gifted you with super-long catwalk model legs, you don’t need to get upset in advance. The rest of the women still have a lot of opportunities to visually adjust the body parameters with the help of clothes, and this applies not only to the width of the shoulders, waist girth or size of the hips. Of course, thanks to the right looks and wardrobe elements, you can lengthen your legs without much effort: you just have to remember a few tips from stylists. So, how to solve the issue with the length of the legs, using clothes and combinations of different styles?
FIRST AND OBVIOUS ADVICE
Of course, it concerns shoes with heels! This is an axiom: high heels lengthen the legs, and not only visually, but also physically: you become 8-10 centimeters taller only thanks to the right shoes or boots. Therefore, I recommend not to neglect heels, although they are not the most comfortable option available.
WHICH TROUSERS WILL LENGTHEN THE LEGS?
If you want to elongate your legs with the help of clothes, but not necessarily using heels, pay attention to high-rise trousers. It is better to choose straight or wide trousers, and also not to experiment with length: buy these models at least of an ankle-length. The combination of length, high waist and non-tight legs will allow these trousers to create the illusion of long legs.
The palazzo trousers are especially good for accentuating the waist, lengthening the legs and balancing the hips: the style is designed in such a way that it will make the waist narrow and the legs long and straight. Another little life hack is to match the shoes to the color of the trousers: this way the line of the legs will visually extend all the way to the floor.
You can also choose a trouser suit with light wide pants: the top can be in the form of a shirt or an elongated jacket (you can even opt for oversize) plus a tank top, T-shirt or crop top. Tuck your tank top into your trousers to elongate your leg line, or wear a crop top underneath your jacket right away.
WHAT ABOUT SKIRTS?
As for which skirts will visually lengthen the legs, there are both obvious and unexpected tips. Of course, the most common option is to pick up a short skirt with a high waist or a mini dress: the legs in them seem longer due to the large area of open skin and the high hem line. However, not all of us are ready to walk in a mini and show bare legs to the others. Therefore, there are also non-obvious tips. For example, a narrow knee-length skirt with a slit on the leg (or better, a sheath dress): in it, the legs will seem longer and slimmer. A regular midi pencil skirt is also suitable for this purpose if you choose a nude color and open pumps. And don’t forget about the high rise!
