Best Shoes for Your Body Type
Small and petite:
If your legs are on the shorter and slimmer side, the most important thing to remember is height. This means "platforms, wedges and heels without straps," says Aly Scott, founder of StyleC. Also, pick a shoe with a rounded toe, as a very pointy one will make you look "witchy."
Short and thick:
To find a flattering pair of shoes when your legs are a bit short, a simple heel is best. Just be sure to choose one with a bright color or unique print, so you draw attention downwards. Some other flattering choices are open-toed shoes with a solid heel and boots that end just below the knee, not mid-calf.
Tall and thin:Ballet flats work great because you already have the heigh. Or if you want to play up your small calves, stretchy boots that fall mid-calf are perfect. A pair of strappy sandals with an ankle strap will also give some edge to your feet, especially if you have thin ankles.
Tall and muscular:
To elongate the leg, choose a super high heel -- "pointy, open-toed shoes and stilettos will make your legs look leaner," says Scott. Chunky wedge sandals are another great option, but go with a two or three inch heel to visually lift your leg.
