knocking knees

Mona

Do any of you have knocking knees? I do and always wondering how to dress up to cover them. I dont wear knee length skirts or bermudas for this reason.

I do! It's one of the reasons I'm a little averse to shorts, skirts and dresses that are on the knee or higher. But on the whole, I figure you can make out the knock knees even with leggings and pants --- so to an extent I have made my peace with them. It was rather inevitable once I decided to learn to swim --- no hiding your knees in a pool, short of tangling yourself in a dress!

I do too but don't think it is a big deal. When walking, it doesn't really show at all and when standing still, I rarely have my feet so close together that it is obvious. I doubt if anyone would even notice if I didn't bring attention to it.

None of us are perfect and most others don't see the imperfections we do. Wear shorts and skirts and enjoy.

I'm not so sure if my knees knock as such but I do have quite fleshy bits on my inner knee area and thinnish calves which give a similar look. I often feel happier wearing boots as I feel that it balances things out a bit adding width and interest on my lower leg. I happily wear knee high skirts then.

I don't know how noticeable it is on you, but I do notice it on other people, even if they wear jeans -I don't know about wider fits though, I'm talking about skinnies. Maybe I have them too and I don't know. I certainly have a funny way of walking, and it's been like this since forever. You can't fight the way you walk or stand, and that's the way you are. People will either notice or not, and will either give it a second thought or not, and will either despise you for it or not. People come in every shape, height and level of stupidity lol. So, to the point, if you want to wear short pants and skirts, do. If you don't, then don't. Just don't let something as little as that rule your life, or your fashion choices!

I do, and I don't worry about it at all clotheswise. Healthwise, a different issue (had to have two knee surgeries and my cartilage is messed up).
