Shoes
Ankle strap on the ankle
Why: encircling the offending ankle will make it look like it's being throttled, thus drawing concerned attention to its welfare.
or
Kitten-heel mule
Why: the weight of the calf looks like it's not supported by the delicate heel and the closed toe chops the foot in half, thus visually depriving the leg of a good 3 or 4 inches.
and
Pointed flat slip-on
Why: the ankle is constricted by the delicacy of the shoe and appears even larger. These shoes also have a tendency to swell up the feet - making the ankle a total catastrophe.
Open-toed, chunky- heeled sandal
Why: the ankle is elongated right down to the toes, giving the appearance of a thinner leg.
alternative
Wedge heel
Why: the wedge is heavy enough to balance out the thickest of calves.
