Finding the right styles to flatter your body is makes any woman feel more confident. If you have thicker legs, there are numerous fashion choices that can accentuate your best features. Whether you prefer skirts, dresses, or pants, selecting the right cuts and fabrics can help you embrace your curves and feel confident in your outfits.
Choose a dark wash jean
Opting for dark wash jeans over light wash can be more flattering as they tend to have a slimming effect on the legs and create a more polished look.
Darker denim is also more versatile and can be easily dressed up or down for various occasions.
Moreover, dark wash jeans are less likely to show stains or wear and tear, making them a practical and durable choice.
Wear a nude sandal
Wearing a nude sandal can create the illusion of longer legs by blending with your skin tone and avoiding any visual breaks in the leg line.
Nude sandals create a seamless look and can visually extend the leg, contributing to a slimmer appearance.
Choose an ankle pant
Selecting ankle-length pants can be a smart choice when aiming for a slimmer look as they create the illusion of longer legs and draw attention away from any concerns in the thigh or calf areas.
Ankle pants also provide an opportunity to showcase a flattering pair of shoes, further enhancing the overall appearance.
Pairing them with a fitted or tailored top can complete a sleek and elongating silhouette.
Skip the cargo pant
Cargo pants may not be the most ideal choice if you’re aiming to look slimmer as their design often adds bulk and draws attention to the hip and thigh area.
Opting for tailored pants with a straight or slim fit can create a more streamlined silhouette.
Choosing darker colors and avoiding excessive pockets or embellishments can also contribute to a visually slimming effect.
If you wear stripes, make sure they’re vertical
If you wear stripes, make sure they’re vertical as they create the illusion of length and can help elongate the body.
Vertical stripes draw the eye up and down, creating a slimming effect compared to horizontal stripes that can widen the appearance.
Avoid capris
Avoid capris as they tend to cut off the leg at an unflattering point, making the legs appear shorter and potentially wider.
Opt for full-length pants or skirts that elongate the legs for a more slimming effect.
Light attracts, dark distracts
If you wear stripes, make sure they’re vertical as they create the illusion of length and can help elongate the body.
Vertical stripes draw the eye up and down, creating a slimming effect compared to horizontal stripes that can widen the appearance.
Avoid sequins or a floral design
Avoiding sequins or floral designs can help create a visually slimming effect as they tend to add bulk and draw attention to the area they cover.
Opting for solid colors or vertical stripes instead can create a more streamlined appearance.
Additionally, choosing fabrics with a matte finish rather than shiny or textured ones can contribute to a smoother and slimmer overall look.
Go for a wide leg cut
Go for a wide leg cut in pants as they can balance out the proportions of the body and create a more streamlined silhouette.
Wide-leg pants create a vertical line that elongates the legs and can make the body appear slimmer.
Stay away from busy prints
Stay away from busy prints as they can add visual weight and make the body appear larger.
Opt for solid colors or smaller, more subtle prints that do not overwhelm the frame, helping to create a slimming effect.
Wear either boot or straight cut pants
Choose either boot or straight-cut pants as they can create a more slimming effect compared to pants with a tapered or skinny fit.
These cuts help to create a balanced silhouette and can visually lengthen the leg line.
Wear skirts just under the knee
Wear skirts just under the knee as this length is generally considered the most flattering and can create a slimming effect.
The skirt should hit at the narrowest part of the leg, helping to accentuate the shape and create a more proportional look.
Choose a v-neck dress that falls just below the knee
Choose a V-neck dress that falls just below the knee as it can create a visually elongating effect and draw attention to the upper body.
The V-neckline helps to create a vertical line, while the dress length flatters the legs and creates a balanced silhouette.
Maxi dresses can work too
Maxi dresses can work too, as long as they are properly fitted and not overly voluminous.
Choose a maxi dress with a defined waistline and a length that grazes the top of your feet to create a lengthening effect and achieve a slimmer overall appearance.
