If the clothes you choose seem to visually shorten your legs, try a few simple techniques that will create the exact opposite illusion. Help your legs look longer by choosing the right clothes and accessories in the right colors.
Let's find out how you can visually lengthen your legs using just a few simple tricks that will also help stretch your silhouette if you are a petite girl. So, here's what you need to finally get the much desired "long legs".
Monochrome outfit
One color from head to toe is a great way to visually lengthen not only the legs, but also the height in general. In contrast, contrasting top and bottom colors have the opposite effect.
One color from head to toe is a great way to visually lengthen not only your legs, but also your height.
Erase the line
One of the best ways to visually lengthen your legs is to erase the line between the bottom (pants, skirt) and the shoes. This means it's best to wear flesh-colored sandals on bare feet or shoes that match the shade of your trousers. In the first case, try to choose shoes that match your skin tone best in color. If we are talking about black trousers, then choose black shoes or boots - this trick will bring your legs closer to perfection.

Choose a high waist
If you are the owner of a short torso, then high-waisted skirts or trousers are a must to make your legs look longer. These jeans paired with high heels are a great way to stretch your silhouette. By the way, a high-waisted skirt will work too. If it's short, choose a flesh-colored shoe.
Forget about the ankle straps
Choosing the right shoes is a determining factor in how long your legs will appear. Moreover, it is not only the color and height of the heel that are important. To visually stretch the silhouette, you will have to forget about shoes with ankle straps. Unfortunately, the straps create horizontal lines that "cut" the legs and visually shorten them.
Choose shoes with a pointed toe
Of course, this is not the most comfortable option, and these shoes can really hurt your feet if you wear them for too long, but still, pointed toe shoes are a great choice if you want to look your best. Round-toed shoes only look good if they match the color of your legs or pants. For the rest, shoes with a pointed toe are always one step ahead.
Pointed toe shoes are a great choice if you want to look your best.
Try on wide leg pants
Don't go for extremely tight jeans. If you have a weakness for wide-leg trousers with strappy sandals, then you already know perfectly well how to visually lengthen your legs. To enhance the effect, choose models with vertical details (stripes or prints).

Wear a pencil skirt
High-waisted skirts of all styles and sizes perfectly flatter your legs, making them look longer, but a pencil skirt is the best way to stretch your silhouette. She is beautifully slim, especially if you tuck a blouse or shirt into it and wear it quite high - just above the waist.
High-waisted dresses
Like high-waisted skirts, these dresses are one of the best ways to visually make your legs look longer. Better if it is a dress to the floor. Pair it with high heels. This look will perfectly stretch your silhouette.
Try on short shorts
If you are ready to show others your naked legs, then try on short shorts - they will also help to visually lengthen your legs. Of course, a combination with heeled shoes is not the best choice, but when combined with flat sandals, these shorts will create a cute summer look.
Bronzers are the easiest way to make your legs look longer.
Use a bronzer
It doesn't matter if you prefer to apply self-tanning at home or entrust this responsible job to the professionals in the salon, know: bronzers are the easiest way to visually make your legs look longer. Just apply some color! By the way, self-tanning that appears gradually is a great option if you don't want to overdo it and give your legs an orange tint.
