Dressing Tips for Short and Thick Legs Wear heels if you are comfortable in them like wedges/ blocks/platforms/stilettos as they give visual length to your legs. Aline long skirt and long palazzos, for that elongated look and to hide the thickness. Avoid wearing anything that finishes at your calves or ankles as they make your legs look thicker and shorter. Avoid Straps around your calves like gladiators as they can make your legs look more short and thick #legs #shortlegs #thicklegs #heels #wed
