Friday Fashion Tip: How to Make Your Legs Look Longer

Angela Stone • Jan 25, 2017

We all want lovely legs, but not all of us are supermodel tall. Here are my best tips and trick for making your legs look longer – it’s amazing what you can do with a bit of fashion!

 

Aim High

Opt for high waisted pants and skirts to define your waist and give the impression of elongated legs. Cara Delevigne is rocking it in these wide-legged trousers!

 

Shoes Wisely

Choose nude shoes, or match shoes to your tights or trousers. Think white oxfords with white tights, and black loafers with black tights – this prevents any stark ‘breaks’ in your outfit and instead creates flow. Classy and clever!

 

Skirt the Issue

Choose dresses and skirts, particularly pencil and A-line styles. If you’re a rectangle body shape wear fitted options like Angelina Jolie above. If you have a pear or triangle body shape, wear a pleated or flowing skirt that ends above the knees.

 

Tuck and Cropped

Tuck your tops into your trousers or skirts to enunciate the waist and lengthen the legs. Wear cropped jackets instead of full length ones to again highlight the waist.

 

Vertical Patterns

Wear bottoms with vertical details, like the striped culottes above. Avoid horizontal stripes as these will counteract your efforts to make your legs appear longer.

 

Asymmetrical Hemlines

Opting for asymmetrical hemlines in skirts and dresses will again give the illusion that your legs are longer than they appear.

 

No Fuss

Keep your bottoms free of detail. Create clean lines by wearing tailored trousers or structured skirts.

 

The Long and the Short of it

Avoid skirts and dresses that end at your calf as these make the legs appear shorter. Wear your hemline above or on the knee like Blake Lively.

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here . The Women’s Lifestyle Expo Palmerston North is on 13–14 May, and I’ll be there with a stall selling fabulous fashion pieces for great prices. Stop by for a browse and a quick style! Ange xoxo
