Follow these tips for shoes to help you acheive the a long, lean look.

• A slim sole and heel will be the most attractive and classic for business. This style is truly the most flattering to your legs and ankles.

• Shoes with a low vamp will be most flattering to you if you’re petite or have heavier legs. In other words, if the shoe starts closer to your toes than your ankle, you’ll look taller and slimmer. Also, for the longest leanest legs, avoid ankle straps. On the other hand, if you’re tall with slim calves and ankles, an ankle strap can be extremely flattering.

• Wear shoes that are the same color or darker than your hemline.  This strategy creates a continuous line of color and makes you look taller and slimmer. An additional advantage to matching your shoe to your hemline is that your shoes won’t be distracting.

• Bone or flesh toned shoes are a stylish solution with a white ensemble.
