How do you make long legs look shorter?

Question

I am 5'5'', most of which is legs. My torso is very short. My legs are longer than my taller friend's legs. People look at me and say, "Wow, Tara, you have long legs," then they look at me like I'm a freak. How do I make them look shorter? What style of jeans would work? What style of shorts would work, too?

Answer 1

u shouldnt care what they think.

long legs are really pretty looking as weird as that may sound.

guys love them so thats retarded that u want to hide them cause of what people think/say.

there just jealous cause there legs are short and stumpy

Answer 2

you should wear longer shirts, that way your top half looks longer making your bottom half (legs) look shorter.

yeah but just wear what you usually do, i would love to have longer legs, you are lucky, and all those people who looked at you like youre a freak are just jealous so just smile and say "thanks" when they say anything.

hope i helped :D

Answer 3

Jeans with cuffs at the bottom or long tops make your legs look shorter.  Hope this helps!! =]

Answer 4

bermuda shorts and crop jeans or skinny jeans that bunch up at the bottom you can also lengthen your torso with tunics and long t- shirts!!

I am the exact same way height and all!!

mine?

Answer 5

are you kidding?   long legs are the absolute best.  on every

level i can think of.  you are not a freak, they are jealous.

if you really want them to seem shorter then wear all the things

us stumpies can't .  like bermuda shorts, or clam diggers,

midi length skirts.  anything that cuts the line.

i really think you should just ignore them and go right on being

you.  practice walking like a model (you will notice they are all

long stemmed american beauties)  and when you walk away

you will simply glide.  that is something some of us cannot

do no matter how much we practice.

Answer 6

Dont make them look shorter, long legs are nice

Answer 7

if they look at you weird they are probably just jealous.

look at all the supermodels out there and you will see that

they all have really long legs. coming from a guys perspective

this question is alot like "my b*****s are really big and i want

them to be way smaller"  

Answer 8

guys like girls with long legs..

so dont do nothing :]

Answer 9

you should be proud of long lehgs but anywayz... i have long legs and the same length as yours!  i noticed that when i wear a  dress which comes long till my knees i see my self shorter ... if you want it less shorter dont wear any high heels with the dress...

i think that skinny jeans will make your legs taller so you should wear normal jeans and not skinny! personally i wear skinny jeans and i dont care what other people say!

Answer 10

To do this. You need to wear longer skirts or dresses. Wear capri style jeans.  You'll need to wear longer style shorts and possibly stay with kitten heels or flats, LOVE flip flops!..

But at 5'5", I would say who cares what they think, I love taller girls with long legs and who rock high heels.... I think you should wear what you want and feel comfortable in. Its really feminine & cute

Hope this helps

Answer 11

first of all long legs are supposed to be the prettiest thing to have most guys luv long legs like runway models or somthin i have never hear of wanting shorter legs i guess capri pants might do that cuz they cut your legline a little and can confuse the eye wideleg pants are made to enlogate legs so dont wear those
