5 Things To AVOID if you have Short Legs (Like Me)

i have short legs in fact i am petite only because of my short legs my torso is actually quite long so i've mastered how to make my legs look longer and today i'm going to share with you the five things that i avoid if i want to make my legs look longer so let's get started with the first one [Music] number one avoid low rise anything low rise seems to be making a bit of a comeback right now i say avoid the trend pressures of this and just stick to high rise bottoms which will lengthen your legs if you feel swallowed whole in high rise then a mid-rise should be the lowest that you go but usually people who feel like they have shorter legs will also feel like they have a longer torso so if you're like me always opt for a high rise number two avoid mid calf boots or shoes try to avoid any shoe or boot that cuts you off mid calf instead opt for ankle leg shoes or lower and that will help elongate the leg also if you feel confident in them try an above the knee boot during the cooler months and that could look amazing especially if you are either a rectangle shape or an inverted triangle body shape i personally as a pear shape do not feel confident in a boot that's above the knee so i just stick with an ankle but everybody's body shape is different and if you just want to rock an above the knee boot then definitely do it number three buckling hemlines should be avoided oversized trousers and jeans are really in right now so try to avoid anything that will buckle at the hemline though it will make short legs look even shorter i have two styles of pants that i wear instead i opt for a longer and looser jean then i put that over a heeled shoe otherwise i get the hemline taken up so that the buckling doesn't happen when i'm wearing flat shoes bonus tip if you are hemming up your jeans then ask your tailor to reattach the original hem instead of just typically like folding it under that will make it look like you purchased them at the perfect length and number four avoid dropped waist dresses or jumpsuits nothing makes short legs look shorter than a dropped waist dress or jumpsuit this was the rage in 1920s fashion it was a terrible time to be a woman with short legs then and now a hundred years later it's still doing us no favors if you have short legs high-waisted everything is your best friend like i stated earlier that means that you want to look for dresses that appear high-waisted and if your body shape supports it you can also look for something that just ties at the waist as an alternative you can try an empire waistline a lot of people who don't like two cinch at the waist will look just equally as great in something that's an empire waistline and number five you'll want to avoid tunics i break this rule all the time to be honest but similar to the dropped waist a tunic will make your stature and your legs look even shorter by the way tunics also de-emphasize the shoulders so if you're like me where you want to balance out your proportions then tunics will not do the shoulders any justice and if you feel more confident in these types of tops then try to keep them monochrome to the rest of your outfit or at least similar in color for both your top and your bottom that'll help avoid any broken line cutting you off and shortening your legs even more and those are some of my tricks to balance out my leg length i hope it was really helpful and if it was then please give this video a thumbs up that really helps this channel and it helps me know what kind of videos that you guys love and i've also been working on something incredibly exciting so i've been working for months and months on it and i plan to announce it very soon so if you don't want to miss out then hit the notification bell to stay up to date on my upcoming videos and with that i will see you guys next time [Music] you

TLDR?

I am opposite. Long legs and short torso. I hate high rise since it’s up to my armpits.
