ELONGATE YOUR
LEGS
Shape
Magazine’s Executive Style Director, Jacqui Stafford, always has
good advice about dressing to flatter your figure. So we wanted to
hear her tricks for making our legs look as good as possible. Here
with her five top tips:
1. Hem
skirts at the knee. The eye is automatically drawn to
where the hem meets the leg and the knee is the thinnest point. By
contrast, if you hem a skirt at mid-calf, your legs will appear
heavier.
2. Hem
pants ½ inch off the ground. This one is pure common
sense— if you keep your pants as long as possible, you’ll create a
longer line. Jacqui also suggests wearing a high heel and avoiding
capris at all costs.
3. Buy
a nude d’orsay heel. Nude shoes (especially d’orsay heels,
which give a peek at your arches), in essence trick the eye into
thinking your legs are longer than they are because they visually
continue the line of your leg.
4.
Avoid ankle straps. They’re tempting but more
often than not they make your legs look shorter. If you can’t avoid
indulging in the popular gladiator trend right now, pair them with
jeans.
5.
Contour with self tanner. Add some bronze shimmer
just down the shin which reflects light and creates
definition.
