How to Make Short Legs Look Longer
Not every woman was born with long, model-esque legs. However, just because your legs are on the petite side doesn't mean you can't have legs that look long, lean and sexy.
Instructions

-
1
Choose pants and skirts with vertical details which will create a strong vertical line, making your legs appear longer. Some example of vertical detail include a front crease, piping, pleats, or a vertical row of buttons.
-
2
Wear a monochromatic outfit. If you keep the same color from head to toe, it will not only elongate the look of your body and legs, it will also make you appear thinner.

3
Put on some high heels if you can. Even an extra inch or two will help. If you really prefer flats, go for shoes with pointy rather than round toes.
-
4
Pick dark jeans that graze the floor. Paired with the shoes you choose from the previous step, your legs will instantly look longer and slimmer.
-
5
Skip the popular low-rise jeans and pants. A pair of slacks with a high waist tricks the eye into believing your legs start at a higher point than they actually do.

Tips & Warnings
An assymetrical hemline can make your legs appear longer.
Avoid horizontal details, cropped pants, and cuffs, as they will actually make legs appear shorter.
Don't wear blocks of color.

I don't want those daddy long leg/grasshopper legs.if anything the majority of women in the world are below 5'7". That includes marilyn monroe, vida guerra, jessica simpson, kim kardashian, shakira, sarah lime, salma hayek, carmen electra, renatta frisson and the list goes on. I actually read that shorter women have mroe estrogen because estrogen is what stops bone grow, testosterone is what increases bone growth! that's why tall girls were given a while ago "Estrogen injections" to halt bone growth. Shorter women are more feminine, which explain their curves(small waist, big butt, wide hips, thighs, etc). Men prefer a Kim kardashian body than a 6 foot tall model with toothpick for legs and looks like a prepubescent child! the fashion industry distorted the female form! men liek meat, only dogs like bones! No man wants sticks fo rlegs, they actually are disgusted by that. Men like the opposite of masculinity, which is femininty. Long grasshopper/daddy long legs are not beautiful! and especialyl when therye thin, they look like tootpicks! marilyn monroe wasnt tall but men would choose her over a boy looking 6 foot tall telephone pole body with long stick legs and size 13 feet.
