How to adjust the figure with the help of shoes?

Tall stature, long legs, parameters 90x60x90 – how many of us reach this dubious standard? And is it necessary? There are no perfect people! The only thing worth thinking about is how to make the image harmonious and emphasize the advantages. Methods of figure correction with the help of clothes are known to many, but shoes are often out of the spotlight, and completely in vain.

The most common mistake when buying shoes is following exclusively fashion requirements. What if the shoes don't fit your body type? Experts of the German shoe brand CAPRICE told us which shoes to choose to create a harmonious image, taking into account individual features of appearance.

Full calves. Owners of "appetizing" legs are better off buying light shoes. For example, dark-colored ankle boots will make a noticeable contrast between the ankle and a visually heavier upper. The abundance of decor on the shoes makes the figure heavier, so choose the simplest design possible. Give up the stilettos and the heel of the "shot glass" shape in favor of thickened heels with a height of 5-7 cm. Solid straight trapezoidal skirts up to the middle of the knee and trousers of classic cut made of dense fabrics will suit the image. It is undesirable to wear baggy clothes and midi skirts – in them the legs will seem bigger.

Short legs. Visually lengthens the legs of high shoes with longitudinal zippers, slits and straps.The transverse parts are shortened. Skirts and trousers with an inflated waistline and vertical lines stretch the figure. The top should be shortened and light, the shoes should be plain and soft, without heavy texture and accessories. It is recommended to wear knee-high boots with a skirt, with trousers and jeans – ankle boots. The colors of tights, shoes, skirts or trousers should be the same shade.

Too tall or too short. With high growth, do not give up heels, they will visually reduce the length of the foot. Recommended height – up to 7–8 cm. Women of low stature will fit a heel up to 8–12 cm. A large height will disrupt the proportions of the figure.

Thin calves. Petite girls are best suited for elegant shoes with thin heels. Gladiator sandals with horizontal straps, bright clogs or ankle boots with appliques and laces will also help to add volume to the calves. It is best to exclude shoes with a narrow toe and on a platform. In the cold season, give preference to boots and boots in light tones of velour and suede. The height of the boot should be at knee level or slightly higher.

If you think that your legs are not perfect, believe me that your interlocutor at a meeting first of all sees the general silhouette, then the eyes and facial expression, then hears the voice and only then begins to notice the details. Distract his attention from the shortcomings that are visible only to you. Visually, boots with fringe will help to make your legs smoother, you can also choose boots made of soft leather or suede that do not hug your legs too tightly. Strengthen the correction of maxi skirts and straight skirts to the knees, narrowed down. The material of skirts and trousers should be dense enough to keep the shape. One of the most advantageous options is boots combined with a mini skirt.

Remember: real beauty does not lend itself to standardization! It lies in the details: in the gait, look, manners, sense of style and, more importantly, in relation to life, to yourself and people. Just emphasize your strengths and allow yourself to be yourself!
