Expert Answer

No—light colors can definitely make you look as slim as dark colors, as long as the fit is correct. If the fit is incorrect and there's too much fabric, then the light color won't enhance the optical illusion of the fabric.

I had a friend who also had this "problem." She wore pants and jeans a size bigger, taking in the waist and booty areas.

My legs are way too skinny for my black lace knee high dress! What can I do?

Community Answer

Depending on the dress, I would wear knee high shoes or knee high socks. It's an eclectic look, but I usually get compliments for it.

You can try to wear loose-fitting shorts and pants. I have the same problem and I wear romper pants, which helps.

Question

How do I make my legs look wider when they are thin if I want to wear skinny jeans?

Community Answer

You could try wearing thick leggings underneath the jeans. It gives your legs a little more 'size' and fills out the jeans a little more.

Question

What should I do when my thighs are thicker and I have very thin legs? How do I wear a skirt if that's the case?

slowlybutsurelyCAYDEN

Community Answer

If your thighs are thicker than your legs, then simply that just means your legs need some muscle. Try getting comfortable with slip skirts; they are really comfortable and trendy. Or, just wear plaid mini skirts that come to your waist and top it with a fitted crop top or bralette. Then your curves will shine no matter how small they may be.

Question

I am very slim and my legs are tiny. How can I make them look perfect?

slowlybutsurelyCAYDEN

Community Answer

Wear high-waisted mom jeans, along with a fitted crop top or a bra top. This would keep your legs from really showing your thickness, while the crop top would hug your upper body allowing curves, no matter how small, to show. And you would look really trendy and cute!

Community Answer

Wear high waisted mom jeans. These wouldn't necessarily show how skinny your thighs might be.
