While I am blessed with psychical features of my mother, being short is definitely not one of them. There are numerous times where I have cheated my height on this blog whether it’s wearing platform boots or wearing high waist pants. However, taking the atheleisure trend in account, I found a pair of fitted joggings that made my legs ten feet taller.

Based on the infamous Adidas joggings where they have 3 lines across most of the their clothing, these pair of joggings that I’ve found in Amsterdam almost has the same thing. While I am not a stranger to Adidas joggings, the fit is always loose and baggy. But that is not the case with these trousers. It is fitted to perfection! Tighter on the thighs (and no camel toe, thank god!) and looser on the calves!

The red lines across the length of the trousers are the key to elongating the legs!

It took me a while to find the right pair. Mango, for example, has the exact same design but a different fit. I mistakenly bought it during the online sales only to find out that I look like a misplaced 90s girl group member. BUT when I already got over the trousers, I spotted the perfect pair during a shopping trip in Amsterdam.
