Oh those lanky, leggy girls who can wear just about anything. Yes, that means the lucky few like Whitney Port, Blake Lively, Paris Hilton, and the fierce (and seriously scary) Naomi Campbell.

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Flatter Your Figure


If your legs aren't exactly your favorite feature, you might be tempted to sweat it out all summer in long pants to hide them. We understand -- when every actress and supermodel has thin thighs and perfectly designed calves, it can be scary to bare your own legs.

However, even if you're not up to wearing shorts, you should definitely consider a skirt for this summer -- it'll feel great to get the breeze on your legs, and you'll look ready for summer. Check out the gallery for examples of what types of skirts will look best with your legs.

Flatter Your Figure: Lengthen short legs

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans, Dresses, Flatter Your Figure


If you have short legs, there are a number of things you can do to make them look longer, none of which include hanging by your ankles to stretch them out. The way you dress can make a dramatic difference in the way your legs look.

While wearing a monochromatic leg (pants or skirt, socks or tights, and shoes all in a similar color) is certainly elongating, it's not always practical. Are you going to wear red tights with a cute red sundress in the middle of summer? No way! We've got a few tricks you can employ this summer to make the most of what you've got, as well as a few things we strongly suggest you stay away from. Check out the gallery to learn more!

Flatter Your Figure: Best summer dresses for pear shapes

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Flatter Your Figure


One of the best things about summer is getting to wear all those summer dresses. Honestly, what's easier? You throw on a cute little dress, a hot pair of sandals, and you're out the door! However, in order to look your very best, you'll want a cute little dress that flatters your cute little (or not so little) figure.

If you're a pear shape, meaning that your excess weight tends to gather around your butt and thighs rather than your upper body, you're in luck come summer. You might not be excited about shorts, but after you try on a few of the right summer dresses, you might not want to bother with shorts ever again. Check out the gallery to see what you should be wearing, and, of course, what you should avoid.

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Celebrities with Style


There's no doubt that we love the way our legs look in extremely high heels -- put us in a 4" or 5" heel, and we'll show you legs that seem to go on forever, like our pal Gwyneth Paltrow over to the right. However, the New York Times recently had an article about the high, high heel and how women walk in them.

And, of course, the answer is the same as how one would move a 600 pound gorilla -- very carefully.

Shorts for regular women: 6 rules

Filed under: Clothing

It's getting hot out, at least where we are, and that means our wardrobe is slowly but surely changing. We're starting to pack away our heavy clothes and bring out more summery attire, which includes ... wait for it ... shorts!

Wait, don't panic! We know that the thought of shorts sends many women into a fit -- we are actually friends with many lovely ladies who have such a complex about their thighs that they will occasionally wear a skirt, but never, ever shorts. If you fall into this category and are happy there, that's just fine. But, if you're wondering what summer might feel like in a pair of stylish, flattering shorts, check out the gallery for some helpful tips.
