How to Select Shoes that Make You Look Slimmer and Sexier

December 17th, 2009 | Tags:

Got curves?  If you’re carrying some extra weight, dressing up may be the last thing you feel like doing this holiday season, but a sexy pair of heels may be just what you need to look taller, slimmer, and sexier.  While wearing a good pair of shoes may not actually make you slimmer per se, it will give you a slimmer appearance.

Short Legs

If you have short legs and want to elongate their appearance, wear pointy-toed shoes.  Pointy-toed shoes will make your legs look longer and slimmer.  However, if you have long, skinny feet, avoid pointy-toed shoes, unless you want to look like you have canoe feet.

Sling-back and backless shoes make short legs look longer.  Avoid shoes with ankle straps and espadrille wedge sandals that tie around the ankles because they can make your legs look shorter.  Shoes in hues like beige are ideal if you have short legs because they match with the color of your skin and naturally make your legs look longer.

Curvy, Petite Women

Women with curvy, petite figures should avoid high heels that are so high they look out of proportion.  If you’re petite, stick with heels that are no more than three inches long.  Ankle boots, chunky heels, and wedge sandals are other good options.  Save the flats for wearing around the house because they can make you look short and stubby.  If you really want to wear flats, only do so with a skirt or dress that finishes above the knee.

Thick Legs

If you’ve got thick legs à la Beyonce, wear open toe sandals with high heels because they will give your thighs and calves a slimmer appearance.  Furthermore, you can make yourself look slimmer from the waist down by wearing a skirt, shoes, and tights in a matching color.  On the other hand, you can make your legs look bigger if you wear light colored tights with a dark skirt and dark shoes.

Platform shoes are a good choice for women with thick legs because they balance out the bulk and make your legs look more proportionate.  Anything chunky is good for women with thick legs; dainty, strappy sandals will just make your legs look bulkier than they really are.

Big Calves

If you’ve got big calves, don’t feel like you have to hide behind long skirts and pants.  Wear shoe booties, not to be mistaken with ankle booties, to give your calves a slimmer appearance.  Avoid ankle booties because they cut off a part of your legs visually and make your calves look larger.  You should also avoid calf-length boots because they make big calves look even bigger.

Fat Ankles, aka Cankles

If you have fat ankles, referred to affectionately as cankles, wear neutral, skin-toned heels because they will visually extend the length of your legs and make your ankles look slimmer.

    I like high heels! Since 15 year old i prefer these shoes, they have a lot of women’s secrets: how to look slimmer, more attractive. The first reason why women do not use it – uncomfortability. Not, I’m not agree. If shoes have ur size and was choosen well – no problems.

    But don’t think that everyone women does not prefer such high heels, they feel much comfort in shoes that are not with heels as it will become difficult to managing walking with them. High heels looks good on lean women.

    One thing is the fact that one of the most prevalent incentives for applying your card is a cash-back as well as rebate supply. Generally, you’re going to get 1-5% back upon various expenditures. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1% back on most acquisitions, and 5% back on acquisitions made from convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores in addition to ‘member merchants’.

    Good post right here. One thing I would like to say is always that most professional job areas consider the Bachelor Degree as the entry level requirement for an online course. While Associate Diplomas are a great way to get started, completing your current Bachelors uncovers many doorways to various occupations, there are numerous internet Bachelor Course Programs available through institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions make available Online types of their certifications but normally for a significantly higher cost than the providers that specialize in online college degree programs.

I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Cheers

    I got invited to a special page with some secret info about making money and I want to share this info with you. There is a piece of software that takes the pain out of making money online. The software is super secret right now but if you get there fast, you can end up as one of the exclusive limited number of users. The reason this software is so secret is due to the fact that if everyone had access to it, it would simply cut down on the amount of money that the rest of us could make. Since this is not the usual SEO software, you don’t have to wait to see results. You can start to see results in as little as 30 seconds after activation. If you are also tired of jumping through all of those hoops or if you are new to Internet marketing and would like to earn some real income online then you should check this out -> http://cash411.info/go/219

    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
