Small fat legs

Thought I looked ok today in jeggings and just above ankle boots. Looked at myself in the mirror and I looked like a small fat legged stubby legs. Anyone else like this? What do you wear? I really hate when I think I look on then look at myself out and feel horrible! Don't know what can help.

Three quarter length trousers.

If you’ve got a slim waist I’d suggest the high waist 90’s style jeans. I live in mine, I’m a size 10 but only 5ft 3. They are really baggy on the legs and look great on the bum!

I've got short legs and big thighs- fitted cropped trousers and boots/ shoes just below the ankle bone or shoes that leave the top of the foot exposed are great- elongate and show off the slimmest part.

Chunky boots or shoes work well for contrast too with a short skirt.

Make sure tights are completely matte, M&S fine cotton are good as are sheer black. Any shiny hosiery makes my legs look like little sausages in skins!

I think it's key not to just randomly cut your legs off with boots/ hemlines. Make sure they fall in the right place to show your knee/ ankle.
