From wide-legged trousers to softly-pointed heels, there are bunches of ways to help you make your legs look longer. Tricks and tips aside, the most important thing to have is confidence! Walk in those new heels, take them out for a “test drive,” and practice your smoldering glances. That will help you look so much more sexy and confident. Read on for more tips on getting your legs looking longer this spring.

Get Light or Flesh Colored Shoes

There’s something about light shoes that’s just right, and especially when you need to elongate those legs. Flesh colored shoes help everything look elongated, slimmer, and shapely– just like you want them too! Instead of choosing dark shoes that stand out, or shoes with a dark ankle strap that “cuts your leg in two,” reach for a lighter pair in soft suede or patent leather.

Comfort Shoes are the Way to Go

If you can wear shoes that reach towering heights, by all means, do it! There’s nothing better for those legs than a pair of sky-high wedges (with guideline no. 1 in min, of course). If you are feeling unsure about the height, gradually work your way up into shoes that maximize what you’ve got, and fake what you’ve not.

Consider Monochromatic Looks

Monochromatic looks are another easy way to make your legs look longer. Simple tug on a pair of trousers that aren’t too tight in the rump region, which can show off the length (or lack thereof) pretty significantly. Aim for a classic color like navy and then wear it from head to toe, sparing the details of course! Choose navy heels with a little bow trim, a cute scarf, and a headband to finish off this look.

Go Asymmetric

Aysmmetric dresses can fool the eye into thinking that your legs are longer than they really are. Choose a dress that’s simple in color, yet bold, to best pull off this fantastic look. It’s easy to look good when you’ve got these rules going for you! Simply slip on tangerine wedges with this Graham and Spencer Tank Dress, above, for maximum effect.
