I Have A Long Torso And Really Short Legs. I Am Only 5

I am 15 years old and I have a long torso and short legs how can I get longer legs by a couple inches without surgery?

When I was 13, my sister and I were roughly the same height (5′2″). She was one year older than me, and people thought we were twins. Not too alarming, but I realized that if I continued on that path, I would be no taller than my older brother (by four years) and he was 5′7″. I didn't want to be that tall, so taking my dad’s advice, I started drinking two glasses of milk every day and taking the RDA of zinc during the summer before my freshman year in high school.And it worked. I gradually got to be a little under 5′11″, but some days I swear I'm 6′. Maybe it's the shoes, but I know that my legs are the bulk of my height. I can barely fit in my car as the seat is as far back as it can go and my knees are uncomfortably against the door and middle console. I know I make it sound luxurious, but there are benefits to not having to use a ladder when changing certain light bulbs.

Long torso short legs help!?

dont wear kapris or anything that cuts off your legs. if anything wear short shorts or skinny jeans they make your legs look longer

I have short legs and long torso...?

i'm 5`7 and I have a REALLY long torso and short legs. Plus, I have really broad shoulders so you can guess how weird I look! I mean, they're not really short, but my legs definitely aren't long. How do I make my legs longer or at least look longer? I look really unproportioned and it's really making me feel self conscious.

Do you have a short torso or a long torso?

i have a long torso, short legs. my brother has looong legs, & i can only guess, but an average to short torso. i think he won the genetic lottery with that, but the men in my family tend to have very long legs, while the women... not so much.

Long torso, short legs dilemna?

You don't look that bad, and it looks like you're wearing flip-flops in that photo.

Layering your shirts is good, especially if the under layered shirt (the ones that's longer) is the same or similar color as your pants. For example a black shirt with a green, shorter shirt over that with black pants...the black will be continuing so it'll help to balance things out. If you wear skirts you can go for highwaisted skirts and a regular length blouse and tuck it in. You're slim so you can pull this off real well, and it's a very classic look. If you've seen in any USWeekly magazines over the past couple months a lot of celebs have been doing that. Black highwaisted skirt with a white blouse tucked in.

You can also try pinstripe pants to help lengthen your legs. And you don't need to wear heels. Some sneakers and boots have a 1-2" sole...they practically are heels. I have a pair of sneakers (Vans) with about a 1" sole...they add height to me.


(Btw...was that pic taken in CT at the Pachaug State Forest? It looks really similar...)

Why i have long legs if im so short?

There are three types of vertical shapes:

Long torso, short legs - I think this is the ugliest one.

Short torso, long legs - This is the best and you have this shape.

Balanced body - This is where the torso and the legs are the same length. This is the second best vertical shape.

Long legs are very attractive so be proud.

Is my torso too long for my legs?

Ok this worry thing might be a bit dumb (ok, I admit it) but I'm 14 and I'm 5'8 and I think the only reason for that is because my torso is quite long. I would sooo love to have long legs! What could I do? Yoga only helps you stretch your torso, or? Anybody know ANYTHING with what I could make my legs longer??

Which do you think looks better? Long torso and short legs or short torso and long legs?

I prefer short torso long legs, but long torso short legs is also beautiful. I'm not trying to be objective. I'm the same way, I have an extremely short torso and I'm only around 5'3 and it looks kinda strange. But show off your natural figure ! i dont think it would look weird if you're short. if you really are insecure about it, wear low-rise jeans. that will make your legs appear shorter.
