I Have Big Ankles: What to Wear?

Legs "poles", you know? A pretty-pretty expression that means thick ankles. And this small complex can quickly be a break to dress. To forget about it, zoom in on the parts you need to adapt to highlight your legs.

Dresses and skirts: choose the right length

When one is complexed by ankles a little thick, it is not always easy to dare to reveal his legs. To avoid increasing the volume of these, opt for dresses and skirts that stop mid-thighs or at the knees. They will take care of increasing the height of your legs. On the contrary, pay attention to the midday cuts, which emphasize the calf area wigs. Unless, of course, to wear them with high heels.

What pants for my ankles?

The trick to wear pants when you have thick ankles? The ultra oversize. That's good, this year the time is fluidity. And yes, bye-bye the skinny and slim pants in which your poor ankles were compressed. This summer, do not hesitate to crack for the seventies flare jeans, colorful fluid pants or even, floral or jungle-style palazzo pants. In addition, these models are the best allies for a fresh and summery look. On the other hand, beware of 7 / 8th pants and trousers that stop just at the ankles. To wear them, it is better to associate them with shoes with the heel.

Dare the transparency games

Lace, openwork embroidery, transparent silk, tulle, chiffon ... These materials are all good to hide your ankles with subtlety while revealing your legs with chic. It's a good alternative, right? The must: a long dress whose fabric is slightly transparent in places or a high waisted maxi skirt. And why not, a chiffon petticoat like a dancer's tutu. Rock and feminine look guaranteed!

The choice of shoes: an important step

Your enemies: ballerinas, shoes whose bridles cut the legs, thin heels that create too much contrast with your legs and pointed ends. For beautiful legs, nothing beats a square or compensated heel that, in addition to being comfortable, draws a nice arch, while erasing the volume of your ankles. A word of advice: always pay attention to the straps of your shoes. Too thin or too big, they can create a contrast with the size of your ankles. Instead, aim for a medium thong, which falls below the malleolus and is indented enough to clear your legs.
