Highlighting your assets is a very keen way in elevating your confidence.
It’s impossible for people to notice your flaws unless you tell them, and this is common for a woman who feels insecure in what she’s wearing or has lost her confidence.
The phrase ‘Legs Eleven’ and ‘Pins’, are affectionate terms for your legs and legs are best shown off not with short skirts but with the right heel height.
Different heels will not necessarily change your leg line for example, wedges, thick keels, slender thin heel or unique heels with embellishment.
What does change your leg line is the height of the heel. As the heel gains centimetres in height, your body will accommodate this by reshaping itself to balance its centre.
But do remember, avoid wearing heels too often as you’ll shorten your achilles, damage the joints and cause chronic back pain. Says my physiotherapist husband!
Firstly a simple test for finding the best skirt links for your body type:
Stand in front of the mirror and wear shoes you would normally wear, then hold a piece of fabric and raise the hem up or down to a place where you feel is most flattering. Then start buying skirts at that length.
Secondly, you need to understand your body shape.
If you have short legs, avoid any shoes that cut you off at the ankles. These include t-bars, ankle boots and ankle straps. Choose an open shoe that elongates the foot, as this will extend your leg line.
If you choose a heel that is in a nude colour, this again will elongate your leg line.
Good luck!
