Best Shoes and Hemlines for Your Legs

Put your best foot forward with these mix and match styles

2. The wider your legs, the sturdier the shoe and heels. Swap spindly heels and narrow toes for substantial stacked and block heels in a low to medium height and fuller almond toes to balance solid leg and body proportions in style. Your bunions and hammertoes will thank you. Strong, muscular, athletic-looking legs are now cool, so stop calling them piano legs, drumsticks or tree trunks. Pump up in chunky velvet shoes like the French Sole Trance-X — go for the black or navy with gold heels! — and Walking Cradles Matisse styles. (Both available at zappos.com and elsewhere.) Yes, velvet shoes are 24/7 now.
3. The wider the hemline, the slimmer your legs look. Skirt proportions also make a difference. You may love pencil skirts and sheaths, but it's the volume of A-lines, wraps, pleats and fit and flare styles that make legs look slimmer by contrast.

Ankle straps crop legs at the ankle, making them appear shorter and broader. For women with robust legs the ankles are your "thin" spot, even if you have cankles. A strap that crosses the instep is still flattering, but make sure to get a trendy pair. Try embellished velvet like Katy Perry The Saidee, the Nina Idette or a fancy cap-toe suede pair like SAS Cate. (Check zappos.com and elsewhere.) And yes, along with velvet, pearls and glitz are for day, too. 7. D'Orsay shoes offer chic and sleek comfort. The cut-out sides of a d'Orsay shoe update basic flats like Nine West Starship or Tommy Hilfiger Naree3 (both at zappos.com and elsewhere) or low heels like Nine West Solis or Sam Edelman Telsa (both zappos.com and elsewhere). The open-instep design exposes more foot, lengthening the leg in turn and providing roomier fit for swollen or puffy lower legs.
