9 Tips To Make Your Legs Look Longer

Published on: May 15 2017mycasualstyle Leave a Comment

Biologically, women tend to be considerably shorter than men. While that in itself is not something to mull over, often it means that a shorter body, equals shorter legs. And we would all love to have those long, slim sexy legs, which look great with anything.

Luckily, women started wearing high heels, giving the appearance of not just being taller but elongating the legs and making them look much slimmer. Heels are great for pushing up your bum look and giving that subtle sensual rocking while walking.

Any woman that has worn heels will tell you that sometimes (read: most of the time), heels are quite uncomfortable. We are certain you have experienced that yourself.

Because of that, unless necessary, most of us ladies out there would gladly skip wearing them and put on a pair of comfortable flats. But what about those dreamy long legs then?

Jeans for Big Thighs but Small Waist? Some Tips and Ideas!

Updated on: Jan 03 2020mycasualstyle 4 Comments

Shopping for pants and especially jeans is not an easy task, and for curvy women with bigger thighs it is less so. Especially if you happen to have a small waist, as well.

From jeans that won’t make it up past the thighs, to those who just won’t zip up because your thighs stretch them out, we feel you! And that is why we put our heads together and looked high and low for some of the best jeans for women with curves. And we are very happy to bring you 20 different designs, for you to choose and pick from.

As a general guide, before we get into this selection, when you have a small waist and bigger hips or thighs, we would recommend looking for jeans that have some elasticity to them. They should have elastane in them, and preferably have some viscosity, too.

Not only will this make them easier to put on and the fabric more stretchable, it will also make you look much better. Another plus of that, is that they will last longer, because the fabric won’t be forcibly stretched out.

That’s a nifty trick to keep in mind when shopping for jeans. But, if you wouldn’t mind adding some more information to your shopping knowledge, below you will find additional tips. They will come in handy next time and will save you time and money.

The choices we’ve included vary for different types of curvy shapes, including those for slimmer legs, as well as more muscular ones. With that out of the way, it is time to get started.
