Clear instep

Ankle boots or sandals that cover part of the instep shorten the silhouette so if you are not too tall, you should avoid them. The best thing is that you opt for a shoe that reveals your instep. Those with an ankle bracelet may have the same problem but if you wear them in nude or transparent, you will have an automatic stylizer.

The more legs you show, the longer they will seem. Do not cut yourself and bet on mini skirts, mid-thigh, you will notice the difference. In these cases you can 'afford' shoes with a bracelet like the ones Olivia Munn wears, although if you dispense with it the effect will be greater.

Having long legs is not just a matter of genetics. The garments you choose can visually modify their length, so take note of those that can add a few centimeters and those that are subtracting them without you noticing.
Do you want longer legs?
- Raise your waist. High-waisted pants and skirts are best suited here because they make it appear that the legs start higher than they actually do.
- Put on nude shoes. Being of a similar tone to your skin , whether they are pumps or sandals, they prolong the natural length of your legs and feel much better.
- He wears short jackets. This way you will put all the attention on your waist and your legs and it will seem that they start right where the bottom of your jacket ends.
- Vertical stripes. If you want a print that lengthens your silhouette, try vertical stripes. They style a lot and if you wear them in pants the effect is doubled.
- Asymmetric skirts . Skirts and dresses with asymmetrical hems or side slits have a curious effect, they make your legs appear as long as the highest part of the leg that is seen.
- Mini . Mini skirts are magic when it comes to lengthening your legs . As we teach more they seem longer. Don't be shy and wear them at all hours!
- Tip . The shoes with the pointed toe also help to give a few inches more to our silhouette , even if their heel is not very high.
- To the ground. Forget the hem of the ankle pants because if your legs are not very long they are not very flattering (unless you are wearing heels). Better to stick with floor-length pants, either straight or flared.
