Your legs look fabulous. Show them proudly. If you want to cover them, linen pants work well. As long as my ankles are not covered I am usually cool enough, so crops work well. If you don't want you legs to be noticed, wear bright colors, pattern, or bling on top to draw the eye up. Maybe a tiara?

Linen trousers never crossed my mind. Cheers Joy.

Ive always been super self conscious about my legs since been teased in school. I'm just starting to let go and try embracing what I can't change.

I like the bright colour and Pattens up top. Going for graduation party in an hour so Im taking ur advice.

Thanks for your time and advice

But your legs are really pretty! They have a lovely shape. Sounds like you've had some bad teasing in the past. I found leaving high school and getting into a bigger group helped to increase my confidence and my realisation it waa just young people being petty and trying to feel better about themselves by putting others down. You've probably left but Converse or flats would have worked equally well.

You have enviable legs! You should absolutely show them off! If you choose not to, however, there are lots of mid-length dresses or cropped pants that would only show your lower legs or ankles. But please don't feel restricted to things like that, because you have nothing at all to cover up. Sadly, kids will tease about absolutely anything. Had you not been teased about your legs, it would have been something else (that was completely normal and not strange or unusual at all); there is no truth in the things people are teased about. I was teased for my height and my hair while in school, and while I cannot change my stature, my husband prefers short women. And the hair? Well, I guess they had a point there because I had a bad perm at the time, but "big hair" was popular at the time!

Rise above those mean spirited people - as my mother would say to me 'be grateful that you even have legs + legs that work, as some people don't'

Sorry, I didn't see the shoe question. I suspect the flats would draw the least attention to your legs. Ignore the teasing. As Echo said, there will be teasing about something. I was teased for skinny legs but was voted " best legs" by a group of young men just out of college. I was teased the most for not smoking cigarettes. Always something.

Oh, you have great legs! But I understand the feeling you may have of not being quite ready to show them off. I see you already left for your event, but I can speak more generally. Aside from linen pants, which I second, maybe try some Bermuda shorts. They may work if you're not used to wearing shorts and want to ease into it.

Interestingly, I found that Bermudas covered my "problem" areas but turned out to be less comfy and flattering than a 6-in inseam - mid-thigh on me. I had to ease into wearing shorts with the Bermudas, though. It's hard to find that mid-length, but Loft does make shorts that length.
