What to Wear | Long Body Short Legs
You can work out whether you have a long torso and short legs by standing up straight with bare feet and have someone measure you or have a photo taken directly in front of you to work this out. Photographs are an easy way to visually see this yourself and work out the measurement difference.
Think about keeping the length of your top shorter
Keep skirt lengths shorter
High waisted trousers are best
Patterned tops are going to draw the eye upwards. If you are wearing patterned skirts or pants use some colour from the pattern in the top of your body garment.
Wear shoes a similar colour to pants and skirts which will make legs look longer. Nude shoes also make the legs look longer.
Adding detail at the waist will be flattering such as wearing wide or statement belts or try tucking tops or shirts in at the waist. This breaks up the area of the torso.
Avoid long tops and cropped pants. Keep in mind that this will make your torso look longer
Empire waists and A Line skirts are great as it is not easy to see where the torso ends and the legs start.
Wearing belts in the same fabric or colour as your pants or skirt can elongate your legs and shorten the torso
One piece outfits such as jumpsuits are good especially if they are all one colour.
Keep jackets shorter and avoid high contrast tops and bottoms which tends to cut you in half.
