T&amp;S had an online body shape test, but now it's gone: I got Cello on that one when I entered skinny calves and Hourglass when I entered curved calves with skinny ankles. I think it wasn't very accurate and that's why it disappeared.</p> <p>Actually, the difference between my upper body and my hips isn't that big, but my thighs are disproportionately large and that's why I have pear in my profile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tapered-legs-and-high-heels#post-156379 Thu, 13 May 2010 20:38:53 +0000 rae 156379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you considered Cello? From your original body type post, I thought you were more evenly proportioned than a bell... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tapered-legs-and-high-heels#post-156321 Thu, 13 May 2010 18:55:56 +0000 Itari 156321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, I wasn't actually writing about skinny jeans, but about my leg shape - they just look that way Sorry if my previous post was a bit unclear. But thanks anyway.</p> <p>Trinny &amp; Susannah in their "Body Shape Bible" write about shoes that look good with specific body shapes. I'm probably close to their Bell, as it's their only short-waisted and pearish type (although Bells are said to be petite, I'm ignoring this right now). Supposedly, Bells should wear cone heels:<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-488236/Trinny-Susannah-reveal-12-womens-body-types--you.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....--you.html</a><br /> and hide their legs in wide, dark bottoms:<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-489577/Trinny-Susannah-clothes-suit-12-womens-body-types.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....types.html</a></p> <p>I'm probably overanalysing again :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tapered-legs-and-high-heels#post-156303 Thu, 13 May 2010 18:25:58 +0000 Michelle 156303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magda, I suspect the style of heel is dictated more by the individual foot and ankle than by the pants you're wearing, though I could well be wrong on this. I know people with thicker ankles are discouraged from wearing kitten or stilletto heels, just because it's a disproportionate look and can give someone the effect of tottering or falling over on their heels. I'm one of those thick-ankled people, and I pretty much always stick to wedge or stacked heels regardless of what bottoms I pair them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tapered-legs-and-high-heels#post-156289 Thu, 13 May 2010 18:06:19 +0000 Louise 156289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also wear skinnies and have curvy thighs, they need to be paired with either a tunic top or a voluminous shorter top. I wear flast and heels with them x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tapered-legs-and-high-heels#post-156236 Thu, 13 May 2010 15:58:48 +0000 Alecia 156236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a key factor in this look is actually where one's top hits. I have curvy hips and thighs and I need to have a longer top to account for that. Heels help, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tapered-legs-and-high-heels#post-156189 Thu, 13 May 2010 13:44:56 +0000 Itari 156189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tapered legs. Carrots or sharpened pencils. You know, large thighs and much smaller ankles. My nightmare. Clothes are something I can handle, but I'm wondering about shoes. Do stilleto heels balance this particular leg shape, or enhance it? What about chunky heels? Platforms? Wedges?</p> <p>I wear higher shoes whenever I can, because they look good and add some precious centimetres to my average height. I know that I should avoid ankle straps and round toed shoes, but the heels are more interesting to me right now. </p>
