Of all the different denim styles, I find straight leg denim especially hard to make look flattering. There are a couple of tricks I've picked up on while working with clients, so I thought I'd share. Elongating tricks really help make straight leg denim look more flattering. Imagine a downward arrow where the horizontal line of the arrow starts at my waist and the end of the arrow ends at my toes. Anyway, the longer you can get that arrow, the more flattering the bottom will be. So in this case, since the straight legs jeans are high-waisted jeans, this allows the arrow to start higher, and my platform shoes add even more height that creates a longer arrow from my waist to my toes. If I had pointed toe shoes on, my arrow would look even longer!!! Clear as mud?! Ha! The point is, any time you can make the arrow longer, the better!!! Swipe right to see the arrow. http://liketk.it/3fI3O #liketkit @liketoknow.it
