Are you anxious when summer comes because your legs are too skinny to flaunt with shorts? Don't you know how to make your slender legs and thighs look fuller? This article will teach you how to make your legs look fuller by choosing clothes and accessories that accentuate your fullest body parts.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Choosing Outfits for Skinny Legs Girls
Step 1. Wear straight-legged or boot-cut pants
The flared hem of the pants adds some volume and structure to the legs and hides skinny calves. Make sure these pants fit on the thighs because if they are loose, the pants will look too big on your body and you will look thinner. Straight pants or cigarette pants that are not tight in the calves can make the legs fuller.
- Avoid leggings, jeggings and very skinny pants because these types of pants are meant to make the legs look slimmer.
- If you really want to wear leggings, try wearing leg warmers or thick high socks over them. Both can add volume to the calf.
Step 2. Try playing around with bold patterns or bright colors
Stockings or pants in colors such as milky white, light blue, gray, red or yellow can add volume to the legs. Bold and big patterns can make the legs look wider, try floral patterns, fair isle, plaid or horizontal or diagonal lines.
- Dark colors like black and navy blue, or dark denim, make legs look slimmer and should be avoided.
- Vertical stripes or pinstripes can make your legs slimmer, so choose a pattern of pants that can make your legs fuller.
Step 3. Choose shorts with a narrow hem and mid-thigh length
Shorts with flared or flared ends make the legs smaller because there's a lot of space in the pants that your legs can't fill. The center of the thigh is the fullest part of the leg and you can create the illusion that your entire thigh is thick.
Shorter shorts usually end where you want your leg to be, which is the widest part of your thigh
Step 4. Look for skirts and dresses that are half your thigh or mid-calf length
Skirts and dresses of this length fall snugly on the thighs or calves which are fullest. When the hem of a dress or skirt is at the widest part of the foot, it also gives the impression that your entire leg is as full as that part.
- Try matching a short skirt with high boots. That way, you're only exposing the widest part of your foot.
- A-line skirts have straight lines that accentuate the curves of your legs. Try not to choose a skirt that is too puffy because your legs might look too skinny.
- A maxi-cut dress or skirt covers your entire leg, but make sure it fits around the waist so you don't look too petite in a dress or skirt that's too big.
Step 5. Wear boots that fit your calves
It's a good idea to leave no free space at the top of the boots as they can accentuate the slenderness of your feet. If you can't find knee-high boots that don't make your feet look like matchsticks, choose half-knee-high boots. It's easier for you to find boots of this height that fit this fullest part of the calf.
- Loose boots, like those worn by Peter Pan, are meant to look baggy. So, shoes like this are not strange if a little loose on your feet.
- Try wearing leg warmers or thick, tall socks to fill the boots even more.
Step 6. Be careful when wearing shoes that are large and seem heavy
If you wear heavy shoes, your ankles will look even smaller. Flat shoes and lightweight sandals with ankle straps can balance out the appearance of skinny wrists or even cover them up.
High heels can tense your calves and accentuate your calf muscles
Step 7. Turn the other person's gaze to another area
If you feel inferior about your feet, force other people to look at other parts of your body. Wear an ornate top, flashy lipstick, wear a pretty necklace or chandelier earrings.
Method 2 of 2: Choosing Outfits for Skinny Legs Men
Step 1. Wear straight cut pants with a flat front
Pants that fit slightly in the thigh and follow the calf line (but not too tight) will look clean and tidy without accentuating the thinness of your calves. Pants with pleats can add volume to your legs, but they can be bulky and look awkward when you sit down.
- Skinny or tapered pants can make your legs look like matchsticks and should be avoided.
- Boot-cut or flared pants can disguise thin calves, but tend to look sloppy when worn by men.
Step 2. Choose clothes that fit or fit your body, but don't be too tight or too loose
Even though you think that oversized clothes can cover your skinny legs, actually clothes like this actually attract other people's attention to them. If your legs don't fit into the pants you're wearing or the pants are two sizes bigger, your legs will look even smaller.
Same with accessories. Belts or buckles that are too big can make the legs smaller. Instead, try choosing a shirt with a pattern that catches other people's attention so they don't focus on their feet
Step 3. Wear clothes with bright colors and horizontal stripes
Don't go for pinstripes because your legs can look longer and thinner. Dark colors are slimming, so opt for a lighter pair of jeans and opt for gray, beige, or khaki pants instead of black.
Step 4. Choose a jacket that fits your hips
A long jacket can make your legs longer and thinner, while a shorter jacket can make your body disproportionate and make you look childish.
