How to choose shoes and boots for my skinny legs

If you’re a gal with thin legs, stick with more dainty shoe and boot designs with narrow heels – especially if you’re petite.

Stay away from anything big or clunky, like thick-soled wedges, since they will make your legs look even thinner. If you really love wedges, though, try a style that is flat-soled at the front and has a thick heel. Slouchy or quilted boots will work best for you. The season’s trends are in tune with your needs, with lots of boot styles that hug your legs without strangling them, giving you a sexy, curvaceous appeal. If you’re wearing a skirt or dress, boots made of fabric or stretchy leather will make your legs look shapelier, as will heavy, textured tights. Bonus: Pants tucked into your boots can add volume to skinny legs...and the look is really hot this winter. If you can’t find a style of boot or shoe that fits perfectly, a good shoe repair shop can narrow the shaft of your boot, as long as it has a simple, stitched seam up the back.
