To appear taller and slimmer, you need to work with body proportions, the longer our legs look, the more visually we appear taller and slender. And short legs make the figure squat and heavier.
For example, I am 158 cm tall and I never set myself the task of looking taller. But at the same time, I definitely will not refuse to make my legs look longer.
I will not get tired of writing on my channel that the length of the legs does not depend on the height. A girl can be tall, while having a long torso and short legs. There are also short ones, who have a short body and at the same time long legs.
But most often it is very beneficial for girls with a height below average to emphasize or visually lengthen their legs. Today we will talk with you about how important the right choice of shoes is in this matter.
How to make your legs look longer
What's the most obvious option that comes to your mind? Of course, these are high heels. However, we have gathered here with you not at all to talk about banal things. Let's pay attention to the details.
High heels are the simplest, but not for everyone. Not everyone can walk in heels. Until the age of 20, I myself just ran in heels of 7-15 cm and could not imagine life without them. However, after breaking my legs, my life did not become the same, I had to switch to more comfortable shoes.
But sometimes I can afford a small heel. He always looks advantageous, now very small heels, glasses, and thick, stable low heels are relevant. They have long supplanted high stilettos and more often than not look more appropriate.
What kind of flat shoes can work to increase leg length? Let's figure it out.
The color of the shoes plays a huge role. The most important. If the legs in the image are open, then the color of the shoes, which is close to the color of the skin, always visually makes them longer. So nothing "cuts" our legs, because everything that cuts makes it shorter. Therefore, beige and powdery pink shades of shoes are perfect. You can also turn your attention to white and caramel / brown colors.
If you choose shoes with a strap, do not have a contrasting one. Flesh colors work better than dark colors. Because the dark strap will divide your leg and visually it will look shorter.
My sandals are from the Respect store, the heel is small and thick, so it's comfortable to walk in them. The color is not beige, but powdery pink, that's what you need. Link to sandals here.
The slightly elongated pointed cape on the shoe is also our loyal friend and comrade. Therefore, we pay attention to all kinds of ballet flats, slingbacks, mules with a pointed nose. If you wear them with open legs - give preference to beige and powdery colors, they will look like their continuation and, accordingly, lengthen.
These slingbacks are very good, they are also from the Respect store. Comfortable, made of genuine leather, with them you can collect dozens of successful images, gentle, feminine, the cape is not too long and therefore the leg does not look like a ski track in them. Link to them here.
If you prefer the trendy square cape, there is nothing stopping you from choosing it. Here it would be ideal to turn your attention to more elongated trapezoidal options, or flesh and near flesh color.
White and beige sneakers and sneakers in summer looks are great for those who want to visually not make their legs shorter. An important detail here is the socks - they should not be contrasting either. I really love white sneakers and cannot imagine my wardrobe without them for many, many years. The last couple of years, sneakers have moved back a little, sneakers ruled the fashionable ball, and now it has gained its position again. Although they have always been the base.
All tips are aimed at making the legs look longer visually. However, this does not mean at all that this is the only correct option.
It's okay if we wear black strappy sandals if we really like them. In this case, you can apply other options for lengthening the legs, if it is important to us. Namely, choose the right clothes. I talk a lot about this on my channel. For example, in this case, we can choose a high waist and a cropped or tucked top.
Also, there is nothing wrong with the fact that sometimes we will spit on all the rules and proportions and just enjoy our image. Thank you for your attention, subscribe if you are interested in the topics of body shaping and its features, there are many interesting things ahead.
