April Optical Illusion Tip
You Long-Legged Beauty 2!
Last month's tip was about using pants to create the illusion of long legs, but what's a girl to do when the leg is completely exposed in a dress? Easy -- pick the right shoes! Certain styles of shoes can optically lengthen (or shorten) your leg by 3"-5"! To make your legs appear longer, opt for pointier-toed shoes with a lower vamp (the upper part of the shoe). This will expose more foot and thus make it appear that your legs go on forever. If your ankles are thicker, this will help give the appearance of a longer, thinner leg. Shoes with a high vamp or an ankle strap optically cut the vertical line of the leg and cause the eye to look horizontally. This will make your legs appear shorter and fuller. The color of your shoe can also make a difference. Nude or metallics that reflect the color of the skin, can optically add another 1"-2" of length. So when you put on that dress, remember to pick the right shoes!
