Approximately 90% of women complain about short legs. C'mon! Let's be rational: short legs are legs shorter than medium-length, which (according to the laws of nature) is OK! So how could nine out of ten women have legs shorter than the average? It's impossible unless the tenth one is at least 15 feet tall...

My first tip is to stop bothering yourself about the imagined problems. In 20 years time you'll look at the picture of you and you will be surprised how fantastic your legs looked.

To create an illusion of longer and leaner legs follow our tips.

• To make your legs look longer choose shoes in the colour similar to your skin tone colour. Generally, stylist always advice to opt for lighter shades of shoes as the dark ones may optically shorten your legs.

• Heel - it's best to adjust it to the shape of your legs. Lean legs look best on stiletto heel, as for plumer legs opt for chunkier heel.

• Avoid ankle straps. Keep in mind that the strap calls attention to the ankle. If you don't want to expose this part, simply avoid shoes with ankle strap.
