Every one of us ladies secretly wishes for beautiful, long, slender legs. You can find out here which fashion tricks you can use to do this and how you can skilfully stage your silhouette.
Most women want long, slender legs. In order to make this dream come true and to conceal supposed problem areas such as strong thighs, there are special tricks, cuts and items of clothing.
There are a lot of tricks and possible combinations with which you can emphasize your figure and certain body parts perfectly and conjure up a beautiful silhouette. Whether the cut, the choice of color or the materials - many factors contribute to staging the complete look perfectly. However, there are a few things to consider, as many items of clothing are bulky and quickly make you appear wider than you really are. But thanks to a reliable fashion eye and a certain know-how, you can counteract this in a targeted manner and that is exactly what we are now passing on to you. While some want to cheat on a narrow waist and others want to cover up their broad shoulders, your problem area is rather the strong thighs? Then watch out: Here you can find out which five tips you can use to conceal them and how your legs look slimmer immediately.
Don't miss these fashion trends:
1. The right cut
The fact is that the cut is absolutely crucial and is the be-all and end-all to conceal strong legs and make them appear slimmer. High-waist jeans, for example, are a great choice because they also conjure up a narrow waist and hide a small tummy. But also slightly flared trousers such as the classic bootcut jeans or the totally modern flared trousers from the seventies are ideal for optically balancing out strong thighs and cheating them slimmer. A little highlight: By the way, you can also achieve this effect with the so-called "cuffing". This involves rolling up the pant legs. With the bare ankles you automatically appear more delicate, taller and it is also super stylish, because even It-Girl Alexa Chung has discovered this trend for herself.
2. The color choice
You can also trick a little by choosing the color of your new favorite jeans. You should avoid white models or those that have conspicuous light washes in some places. Instead, it is better to go for designs in dark denim or even better black, because they visually lengthen the leg and distract from one or the other supposed problem area. They also create a continuous line instead of drawing attention to unwanted areas with color accents. Due to monotonous and rather dark colors, the focus is more on the upper part or the shoes, which can then be more conspicuous.
3. Prints
Vertical stripes are an excellent cheat trick if you don't want to do without prints. These make the body appear narrower, optically stretch it in length and your legs also look super slim. For example, grab classic, elegant pinstripe pants or cool blue jeans with wider bar stripes. These designs not only look stylish and become an absolute eye-catcher, you can also easily combine them with a simple shirt or turtleneck sweater.
4. Distract with tops
But not only the choice of trousers plays a role in concealing strong thighs, but also the choice of the top: With the right shirt you can distract from the supposed "problem area" and focus on your advantages such as the décolleté or the waist. Models with ruffles, asymmetrical necklines, shoulder pads, extremely long sleeves or striking patterns such as animal prints or polka dots are particularly suitable for this. You can also wear classic white blouses with a longer cut, which elongate the upper body and make the figure appear slimmer overall.
5. The A line
Away from trousers, dresses and skirts in the A-line are also perfect for flattering the figure, which are also very trendy again this year and are in great demand among fashionistas. If you want to hide tummy bumps and camouflage your thighs, knee-length A-line dresses are a great choice. When styling, they optically lengthen the leg - if you wear shoes with heels, such as cool ankle boots, the effect is intensified and they appear slimmer.
We have now given you a certain amount of know-how, now it is up to you. Remember: You can conjure up slim, long legs super easily with the right choice of cut, color and pattern. Your silhouette can also be wonderfully staged with tricks such as eye-catching tops or the A-line shape, and at the same time you can skilfully conceal your strong thighs. 🙌🏼
