Fake long, lean legs with these 6 easy tricks

Gisele Bündchen is pretty much flawless, there's no denying it. She has silky smooth skin, perfect hair, and legs for DAYS. Seriously, have you ever checked out this girl's gams? They're fabulous! I'm not going to lie, I was born with a decent pair of stems myself, but considering I'm only 5-foot-4, they are nowhere near as long and lean as Giselle's. But just because I'm not as leggy as a Victoria's Secret supermodel doesn't mean I can't show off my legs. Plus, who says you can't fake longer, leaner legs?

No one says you have to rock a mini, but a short skirt that hits a few inches above the knee is enough to give the illusion of longer, leaner legs. Try pairing an A-line skirt with high-heels or wedge ankle booties. Hm.com, $15

Nude pumps

Nude high heels instantly elongate legs, making it hard to tell where your leg ends and where your foot begins. Look for a pair that's close to your skin tone. A darker taupe color looks great against naturally tan legs. Lulus.com, $27

High-waisted pants

I live in high-waisted pants and skirts because they make it look like your waistline is higher, and therefore make your legs seem longer. Try a pair of high-rise skinny jeans. Urbanoutfitters.com, $59

Pointy toe pumps
