Thick Calves. Yep, you heard me right! With the warmer weather quickly approaching, baring your legs is almost inevitable. Covering your thighs may be easier, but covering up a thicker lower leg is not as easy. here, some of my top suggestions.
TRY
A Maxi dress - Super hot this season, this is a great and stylish way to hide your calves. avoid it though if you are petite...it will make you look even shorter. If you are petite, go for an knee length a-line skirt instead. If the hemline hits you at the calf or lower, you need to shorten it. Having a hemline at the widest point will always bring attention to the area.
Pointy toed heels - They make you legs look longer and thinner.
Pants with a crease down the front and/or flared - Always leg lengthening and slimming.
AVOID
Capri pants or roll up jeans- A hem that cuts your leg off at the widest point you are trying to disguise will just bring attention to it.
Gladiator wrap around or espadrille sandals- The straps wrapping up your leg will just accentuate your thick calves. the same goes for anything with an ankle strap.
And if you don't remember a thing, the best tip is to divert attention away from your calves by bringing the eye up with attention getting tops and jewellery.
Do you know where I could find a great pair of boots that will fit thicker calves and ankles?
ReplyDeleteI know of specific styles to look for...
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, your best bet is a knee high boot. You want to avoid ones that hit you mid-calf (anything creating a horizontal line across the widest part of your calves will just make them look bigger, and be super uncomfortable).
Then, look for boots made using a stretch fabric. If you must have leather (or a faux leather), just make sure they have those elastic v-shaped panels at the top.There are alot of slouchy boots too that are great for thinker calves1
And if you still can't find anything, there are always ankle boots - which are still super hot this year!
Good luck!
