Longer legs: we see 'em, we like 'em and we want 'em. They instantly transform your gait, help you look taller and you feel like Naomi Campbell as you strut into your office.
So what if we told you that you can get longer-looking legs, no matter what your height is? It's easier to get than you think it is!
The secret lies in your choice of shoes. Avoid anything with too many straps crossing your feet, or boots that cut off around your ankles. Instead, look for details that help draw the eye up and down or help create the illusion of smaller ankles and calves.
Here are five tips and tricks that can help you look taller and give you slimmer legs!
Nude pumps should be your go-to shoes for when you're looking to get the illusion of slimmer legs. Be sure to pick a nude that's closest to your skin tone to enhance the slimming and lengthening effect it has on your stems.
Select shoes with low-cut vamps (the part that covers the top of your foot). The lower the cut, the longer your foot looks - and voila! Instantly longer and thinner legs! Plus, there's no harm in showing a little toe cleavage, as it helps amp up the sensuality of your overall look.
We'll admit, they might not necessarily be great for your feet or posture, especially if you wear them all the time, but there's no denying the appeal of stilettos in the quest for slimmer-looking legs. Plus, thinner heels make you look taller, too!
One quick tip when it comes to comfort: If you're looking for comfortable heels to wear all night, always make sure it fits you perfectly in the first place.
While shoes with chunky heels don't always do your legs much justice in terms of slimming it down, shoes with chunky soles do! Thick soles make your ankles look slimmer, and platforms and flatforms are especially great for emphasizing smaller ankles!
The slimming effect even works with flats! If wearing heels all day don't appeal to you, try pointed toe-flats! Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they are also chic enough to be worn with all of your outfits.
