As a rule, nothing can be done about genetics. And if a woman has a predisposition to be overweight, then it will be very difficult to become thin. The same goes for the calves. There is an eternal problem: thin people want to gain weight in this part, plump people want to lose weight. But everyone has the same dilemma: how to do this, because this area is almost impossible to “persuade”! Thick calves are a real disaster, because this is a restriction in clothing, and quite a big one. And we girls don’t really like this kind of brake light. How to remove calves on legs? And what is the reason for this phenomenon?
Why do girls have thick calves?
When we lose weight, everything loses weight - arms, buttocks, stomach, chest, but not calves. This is a real disaster, since it does not always look harmonious. There is usually only one reason – genetics. If you have such a feature from Mother Nature, then practically nothing can be done about it. Notice the word “practically”? That’s right, some things can be corrected, and those who are especially stubborn should still go against everything, including great genetics. Success is possible only if two conditions are met: systematicity and consistency. Are you ready? Then forward to victories!
So, if you decide to take the first step, you are already halfway there. Where do you need to start? Of course, from nutrition. Thick calves are partly a result of this. As a result, you need to reduce the number of calories in your diet, eat small amounts of unhealthy carbohydrates and drink plenty of water. In the summer season, lean on fruits and vegetables, lettuce, and onions. This will help the body gain the required amount of vitamins and lose excess weight. This doesn't mean you need to starve yourself. Just eat less and more often, gradually reduce the amount of foods you consume. Don't overeat on flour and eat healthy, fortified foods. Also, drink plenty of water! Two liters of fluid per day is the best option!
You can start training at home on your own, or you can go to sports clubs for help. Thick calves will decrease in size if you regularly do special exercises. Video tutorials, training examples, recommendations - all this can be easily found. If you have a trainer, he will help you choose the necessary load. And your thick calves will quickly begin to decrease in volume. Pilates, aerobics, and water aerobics classes will be useful. Activities that focus on stretching are great. This will strengthen your legs and give them a beautiful shape, and remove excess fat deposits. Remember to constantly exercise and exercise! Several lessons will not give results, but systematic lessons will help not only reduce the volume of your calves, but also give them a beautiful shape!
Probably not everyone knows that massage helps reduce volume in the legs. Thick calves are actually not such a big problem, as they can still be corrected. A vigorous massage from the feet to the knees will help maintain the results as well as promote blood circulation. Full calves will be able to acquire miniature, classic shapes, and you will be able to shine with your legs in all their glory! Don't limit yourself, work on yourself - and everything will be fine!
I have a slender figure, everything is in place, but my calves are disproportionately plump, my legs look like an elephant’s. It’s such a shame that even some plump ladies have much smaller calves than me. There is no point in losing weight because I don’t need it, I’ll just become skinny myself, and my legs will remain that way, I’ve already tried it. Can you tell me something?
Stop it and don't worry.

“I froze my toes and ears of my head” (C) S. Dovlatov
AUTHOR POST THE PHOTO HERE!!
and I dream of large calves, in my opinion it’s super sexy. I know how to pump it up, but it’s certainly more difficult to remove...
I had the same thing. I became slimmer after turning 25, but I also lost a lot of weight. But there is only one piece of advice: high heels make your legs look better.
froze the brain, calves, and ears of the spaniel
You have musical legs, like a piano!
I also have the same problem. Because of my thick calves I can't afford much. and this makes life very sad. I really want to wear miniskirts and not worry or be embarrassed about my ugly legs(((it’s terrible when a beautiful girl has but calves:(((
I don’t know what to do, I think maybe there’s some kind of massage? to somehow remove the excess. Tell me if you know anything that works
Do you think you can wear short skirts with calves of 43 cm and ankles of 26 cm?
what can I recommend if you have a wide bone?
Do you really think that calves are fat because of the bones? XD These are muscles
I also have the same problem. I don’t know what to do. I’m very complex.
Just think about it, I finally have ***!
One leg is 38 (which is undoubtedly terrible), and the other is 39. I don’t know what to do, by the evening the right one swells even more and finally won’t lose any weight =(((
I don’t want to live from this!
I had the same problem all my life, I couldn’t wear skirts, I also had a problem with boots - many simply didn’t fasten. And now for 3 months I have been actively involved in sports, every day for 2 hours and plus half an hour of stretching and my calves are deflated! Now I can't be happier. In short, the secret is in stretching - after a muscular load, you must definitely stretch your calves so that the tone of the extensors decreases and, as a result, the calves “dry”
Lina! You're doing great! Come to our Agency and School of Custom Models. All our girls are very friendly, they all have flaws with their figure, but they don’t think so, because... are in demand in the modeling business; they are trained by fashion show teachers, acting teachers and psychologists!

What kind of calf stretch? tell me more details Yana!
It always seemed to me that this is the shape of the legs that all men simply adore.
write to me in ICQ, I can help reduce their volume
To make your calves lose weight, you need to wrap cellophane around them and do different exercises
Lina, I have the same problem. I’m not fat myself, but my calves stand out from the overall composition; they should be smaller than they are. I heard that in our case we need to do STEP aerobics. This week I started going to a fitness center called "Empire Fitness". Perfect place! I go to Sokol, but this is a network throughout Moscow, so you can choose a club that is convenient for you. I purchased a promotional card for a year for only 3,500 rubles, which gives me the opportunity to attend an unlimited number of classes at any club in Moscow and beyond. I advise you to go to the website and call them, they will answer all your questions. I like. Good luck!
I'm completely screwed. I am 14 years old, height 151 cm, leg size 35, thin, but calves. Even though I’m crying, I only wear jeans. tell me something!
I have the same problem, I don’t know what to do(((((
They say stretching the calves helps and step aerobics
It’s not all about the muscles, if you pump them up and run and do exercises, then in general your legs will become like elephants, it’s the joints, and the joints just need to be treated
What does muscle have to do with it? I have fat on my calves, it’s all hanging out. also 40 cm girth (((and I myself am slim. I also don’t understand what to do.
If it’s genetic for you, then it seems like there’s no way.
hmm. I went and tried it on. It’s also ugly. My calves are 41, and my ankle is 23 cm. In short, from the knee down, it’s like a pork knuckle. And how graceful they were in their youth! Eh.
Charging is just a light massage to do on them or something.
They say that yoga helps. But if I don’t want to do it, then callanetics will do.
Damn, at least I'm crying! I’m 15 and I had a huge complex about this! Skirts, I didn’t even look at them! But my sister, a huge thank you to her, said no to my complexes! I started wearing skirts and shorts and you know what. They are visually even smaller than they have become, and if you still have a self-tanning your chic will be :-* so now the heel and dress are shorter
You mumble alone, but what should you do?
smear it with honey and wrap it in a salafan, lie in bed for 2 hours to keep these places warm)
I tried it on.. O_O Calves - 40 cm, ankles - 25 cm..
I love slender girls with big calves!

Every female representative dreams of attractive and slender legs, but their beauty in most cases depends on perseverance and repeated physical exercises. The lower extremities are most prone to the deposition of fat reserves, and it is often quite difficult to cope with them.
Of course, in just two weeks, your lower limbs will not acquire slender shapes, but if you approach the weight loss process wisely, thick legs will soon become slender and toned.
There are two effective methods that can solve the problem of fat legs.
You can get rid of excess fat reserves through surgery by having a liposuction procedure. However, there is one “but”: if a representative of the fair sex is delighted with the effect and does not continue to follow a special diet, then the fat cells will begin to replenish again, and the legs will take on their previous appearance.
This procedure also poses a danger to your body due to possible complications when using anesthesia.
It is impossible to take physical exercises lightly for the reason that they can negatively affect the general physical condition, and besides, not every exercise helps in reducing body weight.
In addition, in this case, exercises using exercise machines are contraindicated, since there are special elliptical trainers and step platforms for the calf muscles.
To eliminate the problem of fat legs, it is preferable to perform aerobic exercises: they are based on repeated repetitions with light weights and take into account stretching. To lose weight, you need to do quick exercises for 40-60 minutes with a break of 30-60 seconds.
For some, it may be better to go to a fitness club, where experienced instructors will create a special program for you to get rid of fat legs.
Of course, you can practice at home using a video or with a purchased exercise machine.
The most simplified exercises for home:
If you intend to quickly eliminate excess fat in the leg area by applying and trying numerous exercises - lose weight! Just keep in mind that without effort you won’t succeed.
Although, most likely, you will forget about laziness and work hard to achieve the ideal shape of your legs.
Below are exercises for losing weight in the legs, as well as the items you will need:
Jump a lot and you will notice that it was not in vain.
Agree, it's not that easy! But in the end, you will admire your slender legs and will never regret the efforts made.
You can eliminate leg fat by simply walking. Walk with pleasure.
If you constantly run up and down many times, your legs will acquire slender and graceful shapes, which no man will then ignore!
Exercise lying on your side.
Exercise "facing the wall."
Exercise "pedaling".
This exercise is quite convenient, since it can be performed without getting out of bed after sleeping in your heated bed. If you haven’t yet figured out how to do this exercise, remember the bicycle you rode in your childhood and adolescence.
You can sign up for any gym or purchase an exercise bike (the most important thing is to find a place to put it). The pedals must be pedaled slowly.
In this case, speed is not important. If the speed on the “speedometer” of the simulator is high, for you it undoubtedly equals zero. It is recommended to spend at least three hours a day on this simulator.
Exercise with fitball.
Massage is allowed in specially designated salons, but be prepared in advance for the fact that you will have to endure a little, since anti-cellulite massage is a painful procedure.
It is effective to do cupping vacuum massage and honey massage at home. Pharmacies sell jars with silicone suction cups, and these jars are used for massage.
Vacuum massage normalizes blood circulation and stimulates muscle activity.
Using dietary nutrition, you can reduce the appearance of “orange peel”, eliminate calf cramps and swelling.
It is recommended to follow a diet, or simply include green tea, pumpkin, cinnamon, pears, grapefruits, figs, hot seasonings, low-fat foods in your diet, drink cold soups from garden fruits and drink a significant amount of water.

Foods that should not be consumed if you want to prevent your legs from being fat and ugly.
As you have already seen, there are a large number of methods for forming slender legs, and the only circumstance that can hinder you in this is laziness.
Don’t even think about being lazy, try to fight laziness, then your dream of slender and amazing legs will come true!
Damn, I have such a problem, my upper body is normal, but my thighs and calves are thick, what should I do? Galya: Hello everyone, I don’t know who was able to do it as much as possible.
? warm-up for legs Warm-up. Be sure to do it before you start doing the exercises.

You can get rid of excess fat reserves through surgery by having a liposuction procedure.

Thick legs: physical exercises It is impossible to take physical exercises lightly for the reason that they can negatively affect the general physical condition, and besides, not every exercise helps in reducing body weight.

Although, most likely, you will forget about laziness and work hard to achieve the ideal shape of your legs. Examples of simple and effective exercises Below we give you exercises for losing weight in the legs, as well as the items you will need: Weight loss jump rope. Jump a lot and you will notice that it was not in vain. It is enough to jump rope thirty times a day just so that your calves and thighs gradually become thinner and thinner. Start with thirty times, and when your legs get used to such a load, you can increase the number of jumps to fifty. Squats. Try doing squats daily to get the benefits you need. However, squats are much more difficult than jumping rope. The number of squats in one day exceeds the number of jumps. You should do squats a hundred times a day. Even on weekends! Thus, over a seven-day period, you will receive a total of seven hundred. Agree, it's not that easy! But in the end, you will admire your slender legs and will never regret the efforts made. Walking. You can eliminate leg fat by simply walking. Walk with pleasure. To start fat burning processes, you need to walk for at least 60 minutes. You can simply walk back and forth and lose weight at the same time. It is preferable to use an access staircase for this purpose, choosing a fourteen-story building so that there are enough steps. If you constantly run up and down many times, then your legs will acquire slender and graceful shapes, which then no man will ignore! Exercise lying on your side. Lie on your side (right). Raise your left leg. Lean on your elbow. Place your other hand behind your head. You can relax a little by counting to ten. Then lift your lower leg up (it’s better to lift it as high as possible, this way you will achieve the best effect). Now lower your leg, but before that you should count to ten again. Total time for this exercise: one hundred seconds on the left leg and one hundred seconds on the right leg. Exercise "facing the wall." Turn your face to the wall, and mark your toes along the length. Now you need to determine the location of the legs. Take a towel and mark it under each of your feet. The towel should be rolled up. Press your right and left hands into the wall area. Slowly raise your toes while counting to ten. Your heels should touch the towel. Then counting to ten again, return to the original position. Exercise "pedaling". This exercise is quite convenient, since it can be performed without getting out of bed after sleeping in your heated bed. If you haven’t yet figured out how to do this exercise, remember the bicycle you rode in your childhood and adolescence. You can sign up for any gym or purchase an exercise bike (the most important thing is to find a place to put it). The pedals must be pedaled slowly. In this case, speed is not important. If the speed on the “speedometer” of the simulator is high, for you it undoubtedly equals zero. It is recommended to spend at least three hours a day on this simulator. "Steps in height." Place a strong support next to you. Perform steps on it in the following order: forward, then up. The entire area of the foot should be brought into work. At the same time, try to keep your body exclusively in a straight position. Pay more attention to the buttock area. Remember which leg you started with in this exercise. With the same foot, take a step back, returning to the starting position. Try to keep the body in a straight position. Exercise with fitball. Lie down on the ball. A ball (fitball) must be placed at the central point of the back. Use your back to press him against the wall. Your feet should be placed shoulder-width apart and slightly pointed in front of you. Squat down until your knees bend at right angles. This position should be maintained for thirty seconds. To increase the load, do the squat a little lower. It is recommended to repeat this exercise six times. The break should be thirty seconds. Thick legs: massage Massage is allowed in specially designated salons, but prepare in advance for the fact that you will have to endure a little, since anti-cellulite massage is a painful procedure.

If you have thick legs and want to reduce the size, first you need to find an elliptical trainer · Bicycle and exercise bike for weight loss.
So, too bulky legs are your main problem. You go on diets, train until you sweat, but the unwanted volume does not go away. First you need to find the reason and determine why your legs are thick, because the “treatment” depends on this. Let's do a little test. Answer the following questions honestly: 1. Does the size of my legs change if I go on a strict diet? 2. What did my legs look like as a child? 3. Do they have visible fat deposits? If during the mini-test you find out that your legs are decreasing in volume due to diet and have visible fat deposits, the problem is likely to be excess weight and a genetic predisposition to fat deposition in the legs. If, in childhood, your legs were massive, and you can’t “catch” the layer of fat, it’s all about the naturally developed thigh muscles. If the problem is body fat, there is reason to rejoice. It will be much easier for you to adjust your appearance and reduce the volume of your legs. And proven “fitness recipes” will help with this: Cardio 6 times a week You can burn fat “like a sportsman” only by doing 6 30-minute cardio workouts a week. You can swim or run, the type of activity doesn’t really matter. The main thing is that your movement burns calories, which means it systematically creates a negative energy balance, and the body burns fat deposits, including in the problem area. Try to train at varying intensities. For example, on Monday - a calm walk, on Tuesday - interval training on a treadmill, on Wednesday - dancing, on Thursday - swimming, on Friday - Taibo, on Saturday - a long bike ride. This strategy helps you avoid routine. Limit fatty foods Your nutrition should “submit” to the main goal. To do this, you should exclude all semi-finished products and sources of processed fats. Dress your salads with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and snack on 20 g of almonds, this will be enough for metabolism, and this amount of fat will help continue burning fat. Increase the amount of protein Protein is an important component of nutrition. Cut calories from simple carbohydrates, and leave your daily protein alone. You should be sure to consume low-fat chicken breasts, seafood, cottage cheese and skim milk to maintain a good metabolism. Strength exercises There are no specific strength training exercises against fat legs in nature. Your goal is not to increase muscle size through exercise. To do this, you need to perform more than 20 repetitions per set at a fast pace. And the movements can be ordinary - squats, lunges, kicking the legs back. Thick legs: excess muscles In bodybuilding, of course, there are no excess muscles. But in real life, genetically voluminous thigh muscles can bring a lot of grief, especially to girls and women. If you have had pronounced leg muscles since childhood, you should think about reducing the volume. And here simple rules will help you: No carbohydrates - no pumping. Try not to eat carbohydrate foods after any workout. You should not console yourself with the fact that vegetables contain few carbohydrates; it is better to refrain from eating for at least two hours after aerobic training and an hour after strength training, and only then eat your vegetables as much as you like, perhaps with a small portion of protein. Cardio is only explosive Regular workouts for burning fat are not suitable for you. Choose aerobic endurance training. You want your heart rate to be approximately 80% of your maximum (220 is your age). Such loads are provided by fitboxing, kickboxing, jumping rope, and active running. Work out at this level for at least 40 minutes three times a week, and try not to eat for at least an hour or two after training. Watch your calories Oddly enough, you should adopt a negative energy balance - the main rule of losing weight all over the world. You should eat less than you spend. Then active aerobic training will help “dry” your legs. Dance Many people think that dancing only “pumps up” your legs. In fact, monotonous leg movements without additional weights give relief, not volume. Therefore, you can replace strength training with dancing, there will be tone, but an increase in volume is not expected. Plus - the pleasure of moving to the music. Don’t worry, because thick legs are not a death sentence. Reasonable training, small dietary restrictions, and your legs will become slimmer, try it! Elena Selivanova, fitness trainer

Thick legs! How to lose weight? This question haunts many women. However, the hated fat deposits are in no hurry to leave the hips and.
Exercises for overly fat legs. See other exercises on the website http://www.furor-dance.ru/.
Massive fat legs can ruin everyone's life, forcing you into clothes you don't like and forcing you to choose a lifestyle that squeezes out all your juices. If you are familiar with the problem of choosing decent jeans, and running in the morning is your daily curse, we don’t need to tell you how difficult it is to deal with those hated thighs. But we will tell you what can be done in such a situation.
When the difference in the volumes of the upper and lower parts of the body is very noticeable, the reason is unlikely to lie in a banal excess of calories consumed. If you are wondering: why are your legs fat and your body thin? – know: there are several probable prerequisites that are reflected in this kind of disproportion.
If among your family members there is someone with a similar problem, and you noticed the massiveness of your legs as a child, are thick legs in your case? thanks to genes. These are the cards that came into your hands at birth, and now this is your body type. For “pears” and “triangles” it is impossible to radically change the proportions: the lower part will still be heavier and weightier. But you have the power to make your figure look harmonious and appetizing: all the tips from the article will suit you perfectly.
A problem with hormones is clearly not something that can be treated on your own by studying articles on the Internet. If excess weight in the lower part of the body appeared quite suddenly and thick legs were not typical for you before, contact a specialist and get all the necessary tests. Let's just say that the tips in this article will be useful to you, but their effectiveness will be constantly negated by the root cause.
Due to a sedentary lifestyle, and sometimes due to other factors, the blood supply to the lower part of the body is severely weakened in many people. Because of this, fat begins to be deposited in the legs even in those who do not have a natural predisposition to this. For you, our advice will work most effectively, and you will most likely be able to return to your usual forms.
Running or swimming is one of the very first exercises that we use to combat excess fat in the legs. Both dry out thick legs perfectly, but everything goes according to plan exactly until the moment when the top becomes so thin that it’s scary to watch. A common complaint from women is: “By the time my thighs start losing weight, I won’t have any breasts left” or “My cheeks sunken in, when I tried to lose weight, it looked terrible.” And for men, the distribution of fat according to the “female pattern” is extremely depressing a priori.
In this regard, forums are filled with questions about how to burn fat only in a certain area, but we will have to dispel this myth. Unfortunately, in the process of burning fat, our body works as a single system, and you will not be able to lose weight locally. Does this mean that you can forget about cardio and it is ineffective? In no case!
“What about the anorexic top?” ? you ask. You will have to work on it too.
If you don't like running, don't torture yourself. Not everyone knows how to run correctly, and the harm of improper running for the knees is enormous. Choose to walk at a brisk pace and it will be just as effective.
Of those who tried to add strength exercises to the program, the majority were dissatisfied: “My legs swelled even more, I quit after a week” or “The gym is not suitable for me at all, I’d rather go swimming.” Why were they unhappy? Yes, because they downloaded the wrong thing. In decent shape, we need to maintain an excessively thinning upper part, and since this cannot be done with fat (we do cardio, remember?), we will have to do it with muscles.
Don't be afraid that your shoulders will become like Schwarzenegger's, although this will even serve as motivation for men. This will not happen with women. But visually, slightly more sporty shoulders, chest and back will create the effect of harmony between the top and bottom and straighten the silhouette.
It is important that the workout is low-repetition and heavy, so as not to trigger the fat-burning mechanism, but to build up precious millimeters of muscle tissue.
Bench press of dumbbells or barbell on a horizontal bench – 3 sets of 8 times. Again, you will definitely be able to master 5-6 kg dumbbells or a small bar! It will become easy - lift weights. Don't forget to warm up with light weights!
Dumbbell flyes on a horizontal bench: 3 sets of 12 reps. You can start with 2-3 kg and gradually increase the weight. The main thing is to bring your arms together through your chest and not change the bend in your elbow throughout the entire exercise.
Dumbbell rows - 3 sets of 8 reps. We start with 4-5 kg. Rest your knee and one hand on the bench, take a dumbbell with the other. Lower your arm completely and now pull the weight by contracting your back muscles. The hand only holds the dumbbell and strains slightly! The entire load goes on the back.
Gravitron pull-ups or block rows to the chest – 3 sets of 12 reps. For a gravitron, the compensation weight is ? approximately your weight minus 10-15 kg. For traction we also set 10-15 kg. We pull ourselves up and pull the block by bringing our shoulder blades together; our hands can only help a little.
If your fat legs are not due to genes, then why not include leg exercises in your workout? An unpleasant surprise with “bloating” is possible only if the muscular frame of the lower body is naturally strong.
Just like with cardio, there is no secret rule with nutrition. And, by the way, the rule “The less I eat, the slimmer my legs will be” does not work at all. You already know that we lose weight relatively evenly depending on our body type, which means our only advice is to follow the basic pillars of proper nutrition.
Measures that do not require much effort will help improve the situation slightly, although they are not very suitable for men.

Do you think your calves are thicker than they need to be? The right clothes will fix everything!
It can be assumed that this is a problem only for overweight women, but it can also bother women with normal weight - the lower legs may be thicker in relation to other parts of the body due to anatomical features or become so after active sports. Both plump and thin women with muscular calves want their legs to look thinner. This can be achieved by using tips for masking problem areas.
If you are faced with a dilemma between what to choose: full-length trousers or various versions of shorts, women with full calves should give preference to the former, but they should not be made of elastic material and fit tightly to the legs. It is better if these are medium-wide trousers made of soft wool, flowing materials or thin denim. You should also avoid wearing capri pants, which make your legs appear thicker and shorter.
Although it seems to you that the best way is to hide thick calves behind a floor-length skirt, this is not always convenient. Women with full legs should avoid straight skirts and give preference to A-line skirts, which make their legs look thinner. As for the length of the skirt, it is better if it is below the knee or to the middle of the calves. If the length of the skirt is only at knee level, the legs look thicker.
If you're shopping for shoes, go for ones that create the illusion of balance with your full calves. Avoid shoes with stiletto heels or ankle straps, which can emphasize the thickness of your legs. But you shouldn’t go to the other extreme by choosing shoes with flat soles, namely pumps or ballet flats - they make your legs shorter than they actually are. Women with full legs should give preference to shoes and sandals with stable, medium-height heels or platforms. In addition, experts advise ladies with problem feet not to buy boots that reach mid-calf or lower. The best choice, in their opinion, is demi-season or winter shoes with a height just below the knee. Paired with an A-shaped skirt, the maximum effect of slender calves will be created.
Women with full legs should wear clothes in dark, monochromatic colors, which visually make their legs appear slimmer. At the same time, avoid options when the color matches, say, a skirt and shoes, trousers and boots. Let it be two different but matching colors, which also creates the illusion of being slim, even if you don’t have ideal body weight.
Are you having a hard time putting on your boots because you have full calves? Don't you wear dresses because you have massive ankles?
You can't change the muscular legs that Mother Nature has given you, but you can make them less noticeable. How? Here are some tips to make your legs look thinner and slimmer.
You love flats, but “they” don’t like you. Such shoes only emphasize large calves and ankles and make the legs look short. It is best to wear mid-heeled shoes to visually lengthen your legs.
The type of heel is also important. A chunky heel, solid heel or platform will create the balance you need with fuller legs. Avoid thin heels! which in contrast will show your legs even fuller.
Also remember, the lower the vamp (or toe of the shoe), the longer and thinner your legs will appear.
The most important point is that there are no horizontal ankle straps. They will draw attention to them and disrupt the proportions.
Hillary Clinton has made the pantsuit her trademark, and it's no surprise. The pants perfectly hide her massive legs. If you have the same problem, you know that pants are easier to find than dresses.
Dark shades of trousers suit you best, they are slimming. Forget about cropped pants and capri pants, they will draw attention to the widest part of your calves and ankles and make your legs look short.
Well, don’t give up dresses and skirts completely, of course not. You just need to stay away from straight, tight skirts that will highlight large calves and ankles. Instead, choose A-line or flared skirts, they will slim your legs.
The best length for a skirt is knee-length, where the narrowest part of the legs is. Avoid hemlines with different additional details; such a hemline will contradict the positive effect of the skirt.
Another option for skirts for massive legs is maxi style or floor length, because they cover all problem areas.
If you don't want to draw everyone's attention to your legs, focus it on the top. Highlight the top half of the figure with light shades and dark shades for the bottom.
Use colorful accessories like scarves and jewelry to draw attention to the top.
Thick tights in dark shades will make your legs look slimmer. Pair with shoes with matching heels and a skirt in the same color to lengthen your legs.
In warm weather, you can wear nude-colored shoes to match your skin tone, which can also achieve the effect of long and slender legs. Avoid contrasting or patterned tights, as they will draw attention to your legs.
Choosing boots is a challenge if you have large shins and ankles. The best option is knee-high or mid-calf boots with stretchy rubber inserts to hug your legs. Short boots will divide your calves in two and make them appear even more massive.
Don't let your heavy calves or ankles get you down! Many famous athletes, ballerinas and celebrities have the same problem, but it doesn't stop them from looking great, and it shouldn't stop you either.
