Ankles are seldom mentioned in fashion magazines, yet they are pivotal elements of how our calves meet our high heels! A clever turning of your foot—started by your lovely ankle—for instance, gives poise and elegance! Furthermore, the size of our ankles can affect how our calves look.
It can be a bit frustrating, therefore, when they rank among one of our dislikes! Often, our ankles are wider than we would like or our calves aren’t large enough to balance our bone size. While this certainly shouldn’t rank too high in your list of concerns, there are definitely some techniques available for minimizing the appearance of your ankles….and I don’t mean wearing snow boots!
Flattering Choices:
Wear heels with pointed toes as rounded or squared toes stop the continuity of your leg abruptly, making it appear stumpy!
Heels...enough said! Mules and slingbacks are great options!
Pair dark, opaque hose with the same color heels; the dark color has a slimming effect while the continuity of color draws attention away from the shape, shifting the eyes to other parts of your appearance that are more appealing.
If you're not wearing hose or tights, opt for heels that match the tone of your leg! Once again, continuity will slim them!
Less Flattering Choices:
The ever-so-fun shoe shopping 'No-No' list:
* No flats or birkenstocks
* No flipflips or loafers
* Keep away from gladiators or lace up platforms
* Clogs and ugs will look horrible...on any woman!
* White tennis shoes or white heels will draw too much attention.
* Sneakers and even kitten heels can detract from your appearance.
* Also, refrain from wearing heels that greatly contrast with your skin color!
