I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.
“Marilyn Monroe”
That’s true! Every girl desires owing the world’s best heels and be a glamorous diva. While it may be tempting to buy footwear you wish you had, the fact is that you should own shoes that suit your body type. I’m sure none of us wants to be a fashion gaffe. Not every girl can fit in those Cinderella slippers and look like her. Right from your body structure to the type of your clothes, all these factors count the way you buy your footwear. Most importantly, your body shape matters!
Easier said than done! Those luxurious suede pumps might look amazing on the shelf but as soon as you wear them on you never know they might just disappoint you. The task to select perfect footwear is a tedious one since it’s so hard to find something that works well with your unique leg shape.
Here are a few tips that you can consider before buying your dream pair.
Small and Slender:
Height, Height and Height! Is all you need to remember if your legs are small and slimmer. You can try picking up shoes with a round toe. Remember, too much pointed toes can lend you a witchy look. If you are the one for whom comfort matters the most, go for ballerina flats- but only when you wear them with a short dress falling above your knees. Otherwise, you will look even shorter.
Short and Fat:
Lassies with short and fat legs, don’t fret! You can find flattering shoes with solid heels. Since, your legs are fat stay away from shoes that wraps around your ankles. Also, a big no no to gladiator flats as they will make your legs look shorter and fatter.
Tall and Thin:
Who says tall girls cannot wear heels? Of course they can. Your long and slender legs can look good in those killer stilettoes. Or, if you want to go for something comfortable and flat, ballerinas are the perfect pick. Try avoiding pointy shoes as they can make you look even taller.
Tall and Toned:
If you have athletic legs, then they definitely qualify for being super sexy! You can always go for pointy stilettoes and open-toe shoes. Also, you have an option to go for soft suede boots with size zipper, as it might be difficult to wrestle your legs into a pair of calf-hugging boots.
So, the next time when you go to shop for shoes, do remember these points and make a right choice!
