Can your shoes make you look thinner? Yes!

If you have two pair of shoes that are the same height can one of them make you look taller than the other?  Yes!

Shoes can make or break an outfit, but they can also make or break your body shape. Look at the pictures below. Study how each leg looks with its different shoe. The clunky clog shortens the leg and makes it look wider. The pointy-toe shoe makes the leg look longer and thinner.

The lesson here is not to go out and invest in only pointy-toe heels. Become aware of the linear line you create with your pants and shoe. If you want to look taller and thinner steer clear of bulky heavy shoes that stop the eye at your ankle. Instead, choose a slimmer and lighter looking shoe that leads the eye from your leg to your toe. Ta-dah! You look taller and thinner.
