Opt for high waisted pants and skirts.This tricks the eye and creates the impression your legs start where your waist does. By wearing clothes just above your natural waist, you appear to have longer legs.
Now you have another reason to go shoe shopping… When wearing skirts or dresses, choose nude shoes to blend with your skin tone. This creates an uninterrupted line on the leg and has a lengthening effect. You can also achieve this by matching shoes to your tights or trousers. Beware of calf hugging footwear and ankle straps-they will shorten you.
Long tops elongate your torso and therefore make your legs seem shorter. Tuck your tops into your trousers, and wear your jackets cropped to reverse this illusion.
Choose dresses and skirts. The hemline conceals where the leg actually starts. This works particularly well with pencil and A-line skirts.
Keep your bottoms free of detail. A clean silhouette makes your legs seem longer so avoid cuffs, bulky pockets and pleats.
Keep an eye on the length of your skirts and dresses. Make sure the hemline never hits your calfs. The calf is the thickest part of your leg and if the skirt or dress ends here it makes you look stumpy.
Vertical details draw the eye up and down, resulting in an optical trick of seeing additional length. Wear bottoms with vertical patterns, piping, straight creases or vertical creases to achieve this effect.
Straight, horizontal hemlines interrupt the eyes view of the leg. Opt for asymmetrical hemlines that create a smooth silhouette.
