Trousers
Cropped
Why: a trouser that ends anywhere above the anklebone is shortening. When people look at legs encased in short trousers, all they see is, well, the short trousers and this in turn makes short legs look even... shorter.
or
Drainpipe jeans
Why: far too tight leaving no room for manipulating the truth. Your short legs are left too exposed in these.
and
High-waisted trousers
Why: these just visually increase the length of your back and highlight exactly how low-slung your arse really is.
Palazzo pants
Why: cover where your ass ends and your waist begins, thus making short legs appear longer.
alternative
Colour co-ordination
Why: wearing the same colour trousers, socks and shoes will elongate the length of the legs.
alternative
Wide flares
Why: the width of the flare will cover any shoe no matter how high. Just be sure they are long enough in your chosen footwear to still skim the floor.
