How To Make Your Legs Look Longer

Tips and tricks for choosing the right shoes to make your legs look longer. Helpful advice for hobbits, elves, gnomes and even average height humans who want to know the secret to looking more like a long legged lady.

Shoes with Heels will Make Your Legs Look Longer

It might seem like stating the obvious but high heels are a big help. They don't have to be terribly high, but there's no doubt that a bit of a heel will make your legs look longer (and slimmer!). Also go for a pointed toe over a flat front or square toe to give the impression of length and leanness.

If you're not confident in heels, then start with a wedge heel which has more stability than a stiletto heel, and you can add an ankle strap to hold your foot in place. Remember the more open the shoe, the less support they will give you. So if you want to avoid wobbling, go for a wider heel and keep the height under four inches. 

Long Boots Will Make a BIG Difference

Long boots will definitely make your legs look longer. And thinner! They look great worn with skinny jeans or with a skirt, especially a skirt that ends a few inches above the top of your boots, just showing that little bit of knee is enough to create the illusion of longer legs.

 Another trick, especially if you're not very tall or very slim, is to wear long boots with a long skirt that opens in the front or has a high back or side split. Even the shortest of us hobbits look longer and leaner in this kind out of outfit.

Wear Clear PVC

Clear shoes that show off your feet make your legs look like they go on forever. Clear platforms with a clear upper and about a four inch heel or higher will elongate your legs, give your calf muscles better definition and generally look as sexy as anything. A classy outfit with a pair of clear heels will bring out the Cinderella in all of us (and please the princes and princesses around us too :)  There are loads of clear heels, also called 'stage heels' here.

It's really important to have well groomed feet and cleanshaven legs if you're going for this look. A pedicure is important (and doesn't have to cost a fortune if you get busy and do it yourself at home).

Match Your Shoes to Your Legs or Tights

Shoes in a nude or flesh colour will make your legs look like they are much longer, another trick is to match your pantihose or tights to your shoe colour. A bit like wearing knee high black boots with a pair of black tights or skinny jeans, this gives the illusion of your legs going on forever.

Wear Slingback or Backless Shoes
If you wear backless or slingback shoes instead of pumps, your legs will look thinner and longer. The optical illusion created by this style of shoe is surprisingly effective, but you do need to be confident in heels to pull off this look in a 4 inch or higher slingback or backless shoe because they give your foot less support. 

Happy Shopping!
