Boots for you!


As we already know women come in different shapes and sizes. Every winter, designers come out with new sexy styles for boots but are they always going to flatter our legs? Not all women have the same type of legs. Some have short legs, others have wide calves and some come equipped with thin legs. All boots are different and they are not meant for all people. Having issues with boots not fitting right? Read this boot guide to get over the case of the boot blues.

Women that have short legs should consider wearing heels. This will help elongate their legs and make their body as a whole, look more proportionate.  A low to mid is recommended to create an illusion of long legs. Flats should always be avoided because it will only accentuate womanly short legs. It is also important to make sure that your jeans come over the boot from the top so that you legs can look more drawn out. The Devon Boot from the Victoria Secret fits all these categories and it will leave your body looking fabulous (Banks).

Females that are dreading their thick legs need to add definition.  Sling backs are great for these types of legs but as far as boots go, you should go for a thick heel ("How to"). Anything to small will make your legs look undefined. Thick legs need support which means that you should look for a boot that has some cushion. Wearing boots that are too thin causes these legs to look even thicker which is not the look that we are going for. Hannah Faux Suede Boots are recommended for these women trying to add definition to their legs. These boots can be found at Torrid (Banks). 

Ladies that have skinny legs need to go for boots that are form fitting. Snug pull ons are recommended since they hold on to your legs and give it a stretched look ("The Best"). Another way to help your skinny leg dilemma is by wearing boots that have an adjustable or elastic closure meaning zippers are not a good idea ("The Best"). Boots with zippers are usually made for women with thick legs, which mean they leave your legs looking even skinnier and awkward. BP Manhattan Boots are advocated for these women with skinny legs. These boots come with adjustable straps which means you can wrap them as close to your legs as you want.

Long legs have also become an issue. Long legs are beautiful and unique in their own way but when accentuated too much it may leave you looking graceless. Flats are great to compliment these long legs ("The Best"). Heels are not recommended at all to these women because it will overpower their legs making them look oafish.  The Steve Madden Bonanza Boots are highly recommended to these women. These boots have no heel what so ever yet they are as stylish as boots with heels are.

Keeping these facts in mind when going shopping for boots is a great idea. Following this book guide will help flatter your figure and leave you looking fabulous. When you look great from the outside it has an effect on the inside as well. Boost your self confidence by stunting in these boots that are exclusively for your legs!
