Define "Good legs"

Suppose you have only ever met someone sat aty a desk, then you see them in a pub in a mini skirt.

What would make you think "Wow, she's got good legs" (and what would make you think "Gosh that was a Bad Choice")

Shapely, i.e go in at ankle, out at calf, in at knee, toned and defined, but not too muscley, slimish but not too thin/scrawny, in proportion, good skintone, no blemishes, not veiny/pale mottled or blotchy. (not mine)

Ahh that's what they're called, I have cankles too.

SmugColditz · 23/04/2008 12:30

So, can the overall look of the leg be improved with a pair of flesh toned tights or is this a fashion no no?

I actually don't have cankles, partially because they are naturally bony, mostly because I have calves like grapefruit

Are flesh toned tights a no no? I rarely get mine out so I don't know to wear when I do.

I am 45 and 2 men (both much younger than me) with whom I play badminton tell me I have great legs

I think it's not particularly to do with slim per se, but the ratio of thigh to calf - shapeliness.

SheikYerbouti · 23/04/2008 12:38

ate folk with good legs.

I have footballers legs

I have v muscly calves and thunder thighs. I never wear trousers, as they loo all wrong on me . My legs are also incredibly short - 27" inside leg. My mate Mary has fab legs. Really long and tones

Good job I have fabulous norks (when encased within a bra, anyway)

HuwEdwards · 23/04/2008 12:39

ah you see Sheik, I have spaniels ears for norks....

SheikYerbouti · 23/04/2008 12:40

Mine are saggy beyond belief, but are a talking point when placed within a bra (expensive bras are worth EVERY PENNY, I tells ya)

OrmIrian · 23/04/2008 13:18

A talking point, sheik? You must have some interesting conversations. How do they start?
"I must say sheik, your norks are looking particularly spectacular today!"

Some men comment on large round breast, it's embarrassing, for me at the time, and for them when they sober up and realise what they did.
