Diet and exercise are the best ways to get skinny legs. However, if you don't have a lot of time to shape up, certain clothes and self tanners can help your legs appear skinny when you wear shorts or skirts.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Tone your legs with a variety of leg exercises every day. Doing lunges, squats and stretches for thirty minutes every day helps reduce some of the jiggle on your legs. You can see a difference in as little as four weeks, if you stay consistent with your exercises.

  2. Step 2

    Jog or bike for fifteen minutes a day. These activities work different muscles in your legs, and when combined with the exercises mentioned in Step 1, they can help you get skinny legs quickly.

  3. Step 3

    Wear high heel shoes with long hemmed pants. Longer pants, paired with heels, lengthen your body and make your legs look skinny. For the best results, choose an outfit with a monochromatic color scheme.

  4. Step 4

    Drink plenty of water before a big event in which you'll be baring your legs. Water retention is noticeable in the feet and legs and can make your legs look puffy. For skinnier looking legs, drink at least six glasses of water per day for a few weeks before the event.

  5. Step 5

    Shave and apply self tanner to your legs. Smooth, dark legs look skinny and toned. This method works great in the spring if you didn't keep up an exercise routine over the winter.
