How To Lengthen Your Legs
With winter almost over and spring around the corner, it’s time to pack up your sweaters and say hello to skirts! Miniskirts are the perfect spring staple if you are looking to add some length to your legs. Add a pair of heels to really give the illusion of longer legs (they’ll make you appear slimmer too!). Want a more casual look? A jean skirt with a cute pair of flats or sandals will have you ready for a day of play! No matter which mini skirt you choose, one thing is for sure - your legs are guaranteed to look as long as Tyra’s!!

im a skirt & short fanatic, i started to wear jeans pant & leggins a few years ago and im definately rocking some skirt and heels this summer, rockin the street of France & hopefully meet my Tyty there =)
loving the black and white and the one with the pockets
I am not used to wearing minis but i want too ! I'm kinda conscious in wearing those.. But i'll try :D
i really wouldn't wear a miniskirt in public too many sick and perverted people and windy you would see me wearing shorts under my skirts literally....
That's my motto! Mini shirt or dress and a cute hill or flat and your ready for long slinder appearance
hey tyra, what about if you have chubby legs, mini skirts dont always look the best, do u have an alternitive? and another way to make them look longer?? xx
I like the black and white skirt with the cool pattern of boxes type thing. Totally something I would pick out if I'm getting ready to go some where nice!
I love the black and white skirt. Has kind of a funky vibe to it. I am big on the weird shapes and colors.
i love the skirt with the sailor look
I absoluty adore the pale skirt with the lace that color would really compliment my skin tone.
AGREE WITH ADRIANA!
TYRA!! I love the idea of lengthening your legs... but I have the total opposite problem! I'm 21 and my legs are 42" from hip to floor (roughly).. Now I love the conservative look but sometimes I don't wanna wear a skirt ... moreTYRA!! I love the idea of lengthening your legs... but I have the total opposite problem!
