By carefully selecting and coordinating outfits, you can partially address the shortcomings of a long back and short legs. Don’t overlook these amazing styling hacks tailored specifically for those with long back and short legs:
Opt for Wide Belts
Choosing wide belts helps accentuate your waist, making it appear slimmer, reducing the length of the upper body, and creating an effect that elongates your legs, balancing your physique. Prioritize belts with contrasting colors to your clothing for enhanced leg-lengthening effect.
Asymmetrical Hemlines
This design helps conceal any imbalance in your body, elongating your legs while providing a trendy, fashionable look. Consider opting for a fitted dress with a diagonal hemline to camouflage low hip flaws. When selecting separates like tops and skirts, aim for simplicity in the upper portion with plain, solid colors, and focus on accentuating the skirt with ruffled patterns to “override” the upper body.
Vertical Striped Pants
Pairing vertical striped pants with a crop top or a regular t-shirt tucked in creates a youthful, modern look while ensuring sophistication and neatness. Vertical stripes deceive the viewer’s perception of your leg length, so few will notice if you have long back and short legs when you wear this outfit.
Monochrome Outfits
Opting for an all-black or all-white ensemble blurs the upper and lower body boundaries, making you appear taller and more slender. This is also a great option for those tired days when you’re unsure what to wear, commonly encountered by many women.
High-waisted Pants and Skirts
High-waisted pants and skirts feature a waistline higher than usual, enhancing the length of your legs while accentuating your waist and hips, creating a feminine yet elegant look.
Strategic Accessories and Jewelry
Highlighting your face and neck with accessories can divert attention away from the long back and short legs you may be experiencing. However, it’s advisable to limit overly elaborate, bulky jewelry that may have the opposite effect. Opt for a small hat, a chic choker, or a silk scarf tied around the neck to add a touch of femininity to your outfit.
