Anything low value contrast will create the long line, whether that's with shoes or top/topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2047033 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 18:28:37 +0000 texstyle 2047033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd look at darker pewter and bronze colors maybe? Metallics seem pretty useful to go with a lot of different dark bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045835 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 11:37:09 +0000 missvee 2045835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thought...if your top and bottom are the same colour you’ve already created the long line of colour you’re seeking, so your footwear can be anything you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045811 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 09:25:54 +0000 Mainelady 2045811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am short and for a long time, matched shoe color, or hue, to my pants. If I wore tights with a skirt, those matched, too. For most of my life I was a dark brunette, so that worked well.<br /> Now I have much lighter hair and I enjoy bookending, so my shoes often do not match my pants. I often create a column of color by wearing the same color tops and bottoms. At 5’2”, I am never going to look tall, no matter what I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045728 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 02:26:59 +0000 rachylou 2045728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there are probably some things you can do with the top half of outfits too... peplum tops that fudge where your waist is a bit, long cardigans/tops, tops close in colour to the jeans... jewellery to keep the eye moving up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045716 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 01:04:47 +0000 Staysfit 2045716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a similar tone to my jeans but not necessarily blue. Brown, grey or pewter are good choices. One more idea not mentioned is to try some tricks like laces or zippers. The vertical line from the laces or a midline zipper draws the eye up and fools your eye into thinking your leg is longer. Take a look at some pictures on Pinterest and hopefully you will see what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045704 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:26:59 +0000 ophelia 2045704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same. Dark blue shoes would be ideal, but lacking those, I usually wear black with dark denim. I also wear a dark top, preferably navy or dark blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045703 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:25:59 +0000 Thistle 2045703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have gold/blond hair, so there is no way it creates a long tine of color with trousers.</p> <p>Hmmm, things to think about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045701 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:24:14 +0000 kkards 2045701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With dark denim I go with dark shoes. Light denim is a little tricky...with bleached denim I’d go white or at least lighter.<br /> Overall I like a pointed toe, I think it helps create a longer line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045690 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:54:40 +0000 DonnaF 2045690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with missvee; low contrast. Imagine pants/jeans and footwear in gray tones like a black'n'white photo. You may also want your hosiery to tone in.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, you may want to consider footwear in a brown, metallic, or animal print that bookends with your hair.</p> <p>And in the event you go high contrast, go ALL OUT. Have the footwear say LOOK AT ME. (No plain unadorned shoes.) That way, no one will notice short legs/long torso. Tee, hee, hee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045679 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:21:36 +0000 missvee 2045679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d pick footwear in a similar depth of colour eg, darker metallic ( pewter or bronze rather than light gold) or darker animal print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045676 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:19:08 +0000 Barbara Diane 2045676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could go with blue shoes. But also, you could lengthen your leg line by tucking, semi-tucking, cropped tops, etc. But not if you are like me and will not show your belly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-line-of-color#post-2045673 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:14:08 +0000 Thistle 2045673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually match my shoes to the color trousers I am wearing. I have short legs and a long torso, so I try to make my leg line look longer.&nbsp;</p> <p>How would you go about getting that long line of color with traditional jeans? </p>
