Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and wondered which hemline
suits your legs best? Should you invest in long and full skirts, or go for a
leggier mini?
Knowing which hemlines suit you best is usually a process of trial and
error. By following the tips below, you
can get it right every time:
1.
The length of your
body in proportion to your torso determines your ideal hemline. If you’re long
legged but short in the torso, you can wear a longer hemline. If you’re shorter
in the legs than the torso, your best hemline is around the knee or shorter.
Steer clear of very long skirts.
2.
The width of your
hemline can make your legs appear thinner or heavier than they really are. A
wide hem gives the illusion of slender legs, while a right hem will make them
appear heavier. A very wide hemline will also make you appear shorter.
3.
Every one of us has
a natural curve in the leg and it’s at this curve your best hemline can usually
be found. Never end a hemline at the widest point of your calf – this will only
make your legs appear heavier, giving you a dowdy look.
4.
Lastly, whichever
hemline you do choose to wear, always remember the Golden Rule of matching your
hemline to the heel height you pair with it. “The shorter the hem the lower the
heel, the lower the hem the higher the
heel”. Never wear a mini with a pair of stilettos
and never wear a long skirt with a pair of Birkenstocks.
