PERFECT PINS FOR THE SKIN YOU’RE IN
Style expert Donny Galella reveals how to make the most of your legs this summer

With the summer season upon us, Australia’s leading hair removal expert, Veet*, has teamed up with fashion guru, Donny Galella, to launch Veet’s Dress Right for Your Leg Type Guide, to help Aussie ladies achieve the perfect pins this party season. With legs on show during the warmer months but often overlooked in the style department, this fresh-approach guide to styling for your leg type can help Aussie women make the most of their touchably smooth legs this summer – whatever their shape!

With most style guides focusing on how to dress for your body shape, Veet’s Dress Right for Your Leg Type Guide recognises the area women can tend to forget when choosing the right outfit. This empowering new guide showcases the most common leg shapes and provides expert styling tips on how to highlight your leg features this summer, to help you look – and feel – your very best. Australia’s leading fashion expert and stylist to the stars, Donny Galella, says:

“When it comes to picking the right outfit, we often focus on dressing for our body shape as it is vital to creating the perfect look. However, when styling I find there are many women who claim their legs are the most unpopular part of their body. Veet’s Dress Right for Your Leg Type Guide is genius because it’s a great way for women to understand how to work with the legs they have and to love their body, no matter what shape, size or skin type. With summer now here, it’s time for ladies to show off their pins with confidence.”

Together with Donny Galella, Veet has outlined the four most common leg types and the top style tips to help women choose the right outfit for their legs and help boost their confidence this summer. Here’s a taste of how Veet’s Dress Right for Your Leg Type Guide can help you:

DONNY GALELLA’S TOP LEG STYLE SOLUTIONS

1. “The Giselle”
Leg Type: Giselle is a great example of the straight up, straight down, skinny leg.
Style Solution:  To create the illusion of shape throughout the leg, choose a heel with a rounded toe. A pointed heel will generate a sharp and angular look.

2. “The Mischa”
Leg Type: Do you carry weight around the ankles and calves? Then you have the same leg type as the beautiful Kelly Clarkson, Mischa Barton and Jennifer Love Hewitt!
Style Solution:  Embrace the legs you have and have fun with fashion! Having thicker ankles doesn’t mean that long hemlines are your only closet friend! Try experimenting with the ‘mullet’ hemline – this hemline is shorter in the front and longer at the back.

3. “The Beyonce”
Leg Type: You are a bootylicious beauty who has more shapely legs, thighs and bottom. Embrace your stunning pear shape and follow in the footsteps of J Lo, Kim K and Beyonce when it comes to style.
Style Solution:  Expose your pins but opt for skirts and dresses that skim over your hips and thighs - A-line style skirts and dresses are your wardrobe must buys.

4. “The Kylie”
Leg Type: You have petite, shorter length legs like our very own Kylie Minogue and look at your long-legged friends with envy.
Style Solution: The nude heel is your wardrobe essential! Sporting a pair of nude platform heels will give the illusion of longer, sleeker legs. Look for a nude tone that matches your skin colour and avoid shoes with an ankle strap as these will cut your leg at the wrong place, making you look and feel shorter than you are.

Veet is excited to be partnering with Donny Galella to release Veet’s Dress Right for Your Leg Type Guide to help Australian women look and feel their very best whatever their leg shape.
