Elongate your legs, shape your figure: these winter boots will slim you down

In the summer, you can easily “lengthen” your legs almost to model parameters: just choose classic stiletto pumps and half the battle is done. Add a miniskirt or palazzo pants, which also “stretch” the figure – and you’re ready to hit the catwalk. And what to do in winter, when the only thing you have enough willpower to do is get out of bed, dive into a bulky sweater, put on ugg boots and slowly move to work?

Pointed shoes made a comeback in the 2000s for a reason, but to give us model legs from our ears. The pointed “nose” optically lengthens the figure and in combination with an elegant heel (stiletto and “stiletto”) adds height. The main thing is not to overdo it with the length of the coat: we don’t want to be like Aladdin with his bagels, do we?

An obvious trick: to lengthen the legs, we wear over-the-knee boots and not stilettos – close-fitting models, but looser versions. Then it will be noticeable that against the background of a voluminous top, the legs seem thinner. But watch out for mid-thigh boots – on the contrary, they can “eat” your growth. Ideally, over-the-knee boots should rise above the knees – this is a classic.

Another fashion trick that successfully matched the trend. The sturdy sole will lift you up and make your leg slimmer with this sturdy construction. That’s why petite bloggers are so fond of ankle boots with a “tractor” sole: the contrast with the rough design “slims” the figure. We do not recommend such extra unusual models of winter shoes, as it will be more difficult to combine them with your everyday wardrobe. However, we advise you to pay attention to high boots with a thick sole: they are comfortable, stable and also slim!
