Legs too bulky or too thin? Choose the perfect tights

Legs that are too bulky, too thin or disproportionately long: many women know they are too critical of their bodies, and can find it hard to choose the right hosiery. Our short guide aims to help every woman find the perfect tights: read on for more information.

Legs too bulky, too thin or out of proportion?

If you are looking for the most suitable tights for your particular shape, the best starting point is to decide what it is you don't like when you see your lower limbs in the mirror: do you see your legs as too bulky, unattractively skinny or far too long for your body? Depending on what you'd like to change about your appearance, you can choose the most suitable tights to accentuate your strong points and mask what you see as your flaws.

Heavy but well-proportioned legs

If your legs are bulky but well-proportioned, the most appropriate tights to visibly slim them are opaque, either plain or with a small pattern. Choosing opaque models in dark colors will help maximise the slimming effect.

Short, chunky legs

If your legs are short and chunky, the best tights for you are opaque, either in a solid color or with vertical patterns that visually add length. Choose opaque tights in dark colors and shoes in the same color to increase the effect.

Thin legs

If your legs are particularly thin, there are a few tricks that can visibly enlarge them: choose pale colors with a glossy finish and large geometric patterns, preferably vertical rather than horizontal.

Very long legs

For very long legs that look out of proportion, you can either use the tricks above for thin legs, or wear contrasting skirts or dresses and shoes of a different color, which will visually shorten your legs and balance out the proportions. 

Body-shaping tights: starting from the hips

If you want to disguise prominent hips or a slightly protruding belly, body-shaping tights can help slim the figure with a light but firm hold designed to model the buttocks, belly and hips.

When you choose the right body-shaping tights, your legs and hips will be more in harmony, with a pleasingly slimming effect.
