Long legs are not always a virtue. If you have a short torso, you might look a little bit odd if your clothes aren't adjusted to your sihlouette.
All women try as hard as they can to lengthen their body’s appearance. As legs are the easiest to elongate, they are set as the main target of our actions.
Achieving balance should however be the aim, therefore women with long legs (There are lots of them in England), rather than trying to extend them even more, should instead focus on maintaining proportions
There are lots of possibilities on how to do it. Below we mention those which are, in our opinion, the simplest and most effective ones.
