How to make your legs look longer.?
hi, it just so happens that i am trained and do train girls such things as you have asked- here you go- vertical lines make you look taller and longer stay away from bell and boot cut pants / jeans jeans or pants that have a V- shape at the rear and the front ( either is fine) with the point of the V it will give people the illusion that you are taller or 'add height' A heel of course ( i know you said you cant wear them to school but on the w/e keep this in mind - The pointier the heel the taller and leaner the legs. So use this same theory for your flat foot wear. The toe of the shoe Must be pointed this adds height. Avoid ankle straps- the strap being horizontal when done up - cuts your legs off in view, so if you keep the ankle free the onlooker can follow the leg from toe to all the way off with out stopping at the ankle strap. V- neck tops, shirts and tops with buttons going VERTICAL will also add height creating again that vertical NOT horizontal 'cut off' look. If you are wearing a top or shirt have some buttons at the top undone as this will create the V factor. Long neck jewellery will do the same creating that vertical line. If you have long hair - a high pony tail or 'up style' will give you height. a scarf done up in the TOP centre of your neck with the ends flowing downward ( vertical) will give you height. Long dangling earrings will add length to your neck. Wear a short jacket NOT a long jacket the long jacket does teh 'cut off thing' . Have your blusher on your face starting at your top, back cheek bone and coming forward and down on a sharper angle this will add length to your face. If your wearing a shirt with a collar have the collar UP. Hope all this helps you out! good luck!
How to make short legs look longer ?
Hey! I did a study on height and one of the things I learned about was how to make yourself look taller. This works with your legs too- making them look longer. It would be useful to know how old you are and how tall, because some things just aren't right for everybody! But anyway a brief answer: Short skirts and mini dresses if you think they look ok. Shorter tops that don't come past your waist. Avoid low rise jeans and pants. Boot cut, drainpipe or skinny jeans (not baggy or flared). Shoes with a heel will change the shape of your leg and add length (but don't think you have to go for really impractical girly ones- maybe wedges?)

How do you make long legs look shorter?
if they look at you weird they are probably just jealous. look at all the supermodels out there and you will see that they all have really long legs. coming from a guys perspective this question is alot like "my breasts are really big and i want them to be way smaller"
I have short, athletic legs. How can I dress to make them look longer and slimmer?
I’ve got stubby athletic legs too. There are several things you can do to make them appear longer; the easiest is high-waisted pants or skirts. No, higher than that. A guy’s waist falls at his belly button and a girl’s falls an inch higher than that, even. It might feel like they’re just under your armpits but that’s how many styles - like suit pants - are meant to be worn.Look at those stems! Grace Kelly always looks divine. A belt around the middle accentuates the waist and the proportion of her top to her bottoms make them look like they go on forever.Also, get your pants hemmed correctly. Cuffing them up makes you look shorter, as does dragging them on the ground. Learn how to do it yourself or find a tailor or seamstress to do it for you. Having pants fall cleanly over the shoes you like to wear will make your legs look longer because they fit well.Choose fairly slim leg styles. If your legs are muscular the extremely skinny styles will be right out since you won’t be able to squeeze your calves in them, but a straight, slim leg or bootcut will give you a bit more room and still maintain elegant lines. You want the material to skim over you, not shrink-wrap you. The more the viewer’s eyes travel up and down (not over curves of muscle) the longer they’ll look.Stick with high waistlines - or no waistlines - even if you’re not wearing pants. Empire waist dresses help lengthen the body, as do princess seamed dresses. These have seams that run down over the bust all the way down with no sideways seam at all. If you have a defined waist, a belt at the waistline works too. Dresses that skim the floor add length much more than ones that stop at the knee. For bathing suits, pick one pieces if possible, and look for ones that cut high up the sides of the hip, these will also help lengthen the leg.Things to avoid: overly tight pants, wide cuffs at pant bottoms, baggy styles, drop waists, horizontal stripes, long tops, short pants like capris or cigarette pants.
What are some ways to make legs look longer?
To lengthen the entire silhouette dress in one color -- the body lines are not broken up by color blocks thereby giving a lengthening effect. This may be hard to do unless you coordinate deliberately and shop with this concept in mind. A more practical approach is to wear the clothes you already have so that they are in the same family hue (e.g. wear pinks, rose, peach together). Again, you are trying to avoid sudden shift in color that will highlight proportionately shorter legs. Wearing same color shoes as of that apparel color that you wear waist down (skirt, pants, leggings, etc) will also minimize short legs (e.g., black shoes, black stockings, black skirt). Some one mentioned a shorter skirt -- if you live in a hot climate where stockings would not be appropriate, a shorter skirt is a good hint. It's all about proportion/color and making sure leg (i.e.,waist down) to other area ratio is not less than 1:1. Heels also help, but these have limitations depending on your lifestyle and preferences -- also very high heels can have a detrimental effect on your posture in the long term. Wearing moderate heeled shoes with appropriate color scheme should create the longer legs look.
Why do some clothes make your legs look longer?
It’s a matter of proportion. Any horizontal lines that cut across the leg make them look shorter. This includes cropped pants, Ugg boots, especially rolled down, tunics that are too long OR too short, pants that are too tight in that they make horizontal wrinkles, a jacket that hits in the wrong place, and so forth.
