Fashion Hacks: 5 Tips and tricks for longer legs
No need for surgery – discover our tips and tricks to instantly gain some extra height and gorgeous legs.
Going under the knife? Too expensive and way too painful! If you dream of endless legs just like Gisele Bündchen, we’ve got a few optical tricks you can adopt to cheat your way into morphing those stocky pins into something that nature has denied you.
WEAR NUDE SHOES
If they’ve got tall heels, all the better. Choosing nude-coloured shoes can create an optical illusion that “extends” the leg, banishing the look of thick calves. This nude look can look stunning with a skirt!
TRY SOME BOOT CUT JEANS
A fashion symbol of the seventies, long and flared jeans will be your best friend when it comes to achieving longer legs. Invest in jeans that are high-waisted and long enough to be worn over heels. This is our secret weapon for legs that never end .
A SPLIT SKIRT
In addition to being ultra sexy, the split skirt has the advantage of visually lengthening your hams. It would be wrong to deprive yourself of this fashionable wardrobe staple!
VERTICAL STRIPES
It is well-known that vertical stripes can slim your figure. Over pants, it is the key to longer legs. To add to the look, layer on short jackets and cardigans rather than long coats to enhance the illusion of “mannequin legs.”
MATCH STOCKINGS WITH SHOES
Choosing the same color will give your legs a look of “continuity”. You could also wear a pair of knee-high boots together with a dress or coat with the hem falling just above the top of your boots.
