How to dress when you have long legs
The right accessories
- Dancers
They are your ideal shoes. In leather or canvas, these urban ballerina shoes look great on you. Very flat, headlights seem to lose a few centimeters. You can wear them under jeans, black pants, shorts or with a skirt or dress. - Babies
They are the shoes of girls' women. With a round toe and a thick low heel, they are ideal for those women who are not used to high heels. The ankle strap tends to cut the leg but is perfect for you if you have very thin ankles. - Boots
Those without heels and with round toes, like a bad boy. Their height at the calf makes them the ally of long legs. - Heels
Even if your legs are over a meter long, heels look great on you. Especially if you have a bit thick calves and ankles, heels will streamline the silhouette. Be warned though: long legs often mean long feet; opt for round toe shoes.
