SEXY LEGS ? WHEN? WHY?

Thanks to every one who has entered the giveaway so far, I really appreciate it, and those who visit now and still want to enter, you have time to do so still. (only US residents please)

Today I thought we should take a look at sexy legs. The term "sexy legs" has earned me loads of traffic according to Feedjit.

Now why would that be? I think the main reason is because no woman can be accused of being trashy if she wears a neat, short skirt or dress, flaunting her legs, within limits of course. And that makes a pair of legs look sexy. The opposite is however true of boobs, if a girl should walk around topless in public, not only is it against the law, but she will not be very popular, to put it mildly. So the guys who favor legs have a huge advantage, I think.

Let's take a look at this picture of Alicia Silverstone. (her first time on my blog) She has nice legs, However, they are by no means fabulously shaped. But I am sure you will agree with me that they are sexy. Why? Because she is wearing a shortish dress? Or because she is wearing high heeled shoes? My guess, a bit of both. I will venture to say that had it not been for the heels, those legs would have been a mite below average. Sorry Alicia....!



Ali Larter caught wearing flat shoes. Now I would say those legs look pretty...uuhmmm...average!? Nothing about them shouting - "wow, look at me now!"



Now take a look at the same Ali Larter wearing heels, do you see a difference? I would say her legs just have more shape in those high heeled sandals. And she looks a lot more confident! The confidence I think comes with the height, it tends to give a lady that extra boost if she can look her male counterpart more or less squarely in the eye.



Now you add some tights or stockings, and the picture changes again. Stockings or tights, what ever you prefer to call them, adds some elegance and style to an outfit.
Fran Drescher, her first time also, shows us how it should be done, without looking trashy. I think you will agree with me, the stockings and high heels give her loads of extra style and elegance.



Anna Fariss looking mighty sexy, her legs in shape, wearing a pair of high heeled Louboutin shoes. I have to add, she looks especially lovely in this pic, love the white and black combination. She is glowing sex appeal!



Another new girl on the blog, Ashley Roberts, (honestly do not know what her claim to fame is) lovely legs, short skirt, sexy top, and of course the belt and heels to add the finishing touch. Add some red nail varnish, and you have a perfect picture.



This is such a beautiful picture of Diane Kruger, her legs are really complimented by the short dress and high heeled sandals. Again, the red nail varnish adds a nice finishing touch to the outfit. Obviously I also favor the red lip color....



I have included quite a few new faces in today's post. Hope you enjoy watching them.
What is your opinion, when would you say are legs sexy? And when are they really sexy?

Have a wonderful weekend.

Legs definitely look sexier in heels than in flats. No question about it.

Allison said...

First I have to say that I love Fran!!! She has always had the most amazing legs.
Now for the bad part...
Ashley Roberts out fit...
Why? Why would you wear ankle boots and a skirt? It makes me sad in my heart space.

Unknown said...

love the last shot of diane kruger she always looks beautiful

Grumpy old man said...

Stilettolover hi, :-) thanks for the info, when you get older, you tend to forget or not to notice, but that helps a lot.
Both girls you mentioned are great looking!
Thanks for visiting and commenting!

Grumpy old man said...

Jacqueline hi, I agree with you, that is a fact. Thanks for visiting and leaving a thought with us.

Grumpy old man said...

Marie hi, welcome back.. lol, yes, I used to not miss one episode of The Nanny, just because it was so entertainingly simple. And Fran does have fabulous legs and is very funny, specially when she starts talking. (if what she is doing can be called talking)

About Ashley and the the boots and skirt, that is fashion at the moment, and is very popular right now.
Thanks for visiting, and thanks for leaving your opinion with us, it was great hearing from you!

Grumpy old man said...

TheGlamorousEccentric, hi and welcome to my blog! I also loved that pic of Diane, she looks so fresh and lovely in that outfit. And yes, she is actually a beautiful girl. Thank you very much for visiting and thanks for commenting, I love "seeing" new faces on my blog!

Content Director - Strong Female Leaders said...

Hi Colin! Nice to read your post again - always entertaining! And I am so glad for all those "Leg People". Because unless girls get surgery, it's pretty impossible to make breasts bigger. But legs can always be improved with proper workouts such as running, hiking, machines...

Speaking of, I better go do some lunges and squads. And I love the way Anna Faris's legs look in her picture.

Noble Beeyotch said...

Ali's legs sure looked way better with the sky-high heels!

Karen Law said...

Absolutely I think legs look more stunning in heels of course. But if you're in great shape and have a great set of legs, wearing flats with the right short jeans or skirt or sundress would be very sexy too.
I like legs with definition (that goes for Men too because I love men! LOL). For women, I would say Victoria Secret Models have such beautiful legs - they're slender and toned.
But what I don't like in particular is when the knee caps are larger than the thighs (ah hem, a lot of runway models). What do you think?

Mila said...

I agree with everything that Karen wrote!
Oh and I love Diane Kruger`s style!
xx

Grumpy old man said...

Tris hi, hehe, yes leg people will always have that advantage.. the shape of a leg can be iproved, where breasts can only improve by surgery, and then it is still dicy... Thanks for the kind words and compliment, it is always nice to hear.
Thanks for dropping a line!

Grumpy old man said...

Noble hi, I agree with you on Ali's legs, they are so much better when she is wearing heels.
Thanks for commenting!

Grumpy old man said...

Karen I agree, legs must not be too skinny, there must be a calve and as you said, the knee caps shouldnt be bigger than the thigh.
However, flats? only good for walking next to the beach... hehe...or from the bedroom to the bathroom.. :-)
Thanks for dropping a line!

Grumpy old man said...

Mila hi and welcome. I think Diane looks stunning in that picture. She is a lovely girl. Thanks for sharing with us!

Vertiginoso said...

Mmmh YES Heels obviously are provided of such "leggylicious-issimes" sublimating virtues, AND it always sounds as a Dizzy Pleasure to see Women put on these Fetish fineries . . .
ps: Beyond that, I think that Diane Kruger is like Charlize Theron : The epitome of classical perfection, with Heels Or Not !!!

à Bientôt, Antoine

Keith said...

chic femme said...

Hey, Colin!!! :) Ali Larter can really wear a pair of heels if you ask me. :) She is stunning. She definitely looks better when she is sporting high heels or stilettos. :)

loft in SoHo said...

I love Diane!!!! she always looks stunning!

Grumpy old man said...

Stilettosetico, thank for sharing with us!

Keith, welcome back and thanks for the kind wishes.

Juliet, I agree with you, thanks for dropping by.

Stephanie, thanks for sharing, Ali is a honey, and she does look stunning in heels.

Loft in soho, you seem to be in great company, Diane is very popular and a favorite of most, thanks for sharing.

Unknown said...

Very sexy legs....once again...very good choice Collin.
You should ask for photos from your readers of sexy legs and do a post on sexy bloggers legs :)

Fashion Wh0re said...

I Like Ali but Thanks so much for the comment and following me i really appreicate it...

Caitlin @ Candyfloss & Persie said...

Thanks for walking (no pun intended) us through what makes legs great or not!! Though, all their legs do look pretty good... but you're right - heels ALWAYS look better!

FashionJazz said...

First of all I luv Diane Kruger, shes so stunning, I can only dream of having her figure and second of al I agree, heels always make everyone legs look better because they elongate your leg.

Also, I laughed when I read your really sweet comment, because I have WAY more things in my bag than those 7 items, so sorry to dissapoint you, those were only may 7 fav items : ) I think im worse than your wife though : )

Anyway, great hearing from you again and I look forward to your next post : ) xx

Grumpy old man said...

Dorothy,that is an excellent idea, maybe have a contest... and people can vote? Only I dont want my readers to feel offended or think I am a pervert for asking them to send their legs pics to me.. :-)

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the smiles I get!


Fashion Whore, you are welcome, thanks for returning the favor!


Miss Caitlin S, thanks for leaving a thought with us, glad you agree on the heels factor... heels do make a leg look longer and better shaped.


Jasna, hehe, I was just surprised at how little stuff was in your handbag, now however, I understand better. :-)
Thanks for sharing a thought with us, I agree on Diane, she does look very sweet!

C. said...

Great post, Colin. I really like what Anna Fariss is wearing. Her dress is so pretty and classy, and the CL shoes are gorgeous. Hope you had a good weekend and a wonderful thanksgiving :)

Mrs. M. said...

wow-i find every woman in this post to be just the absolute coolest. Especially Anna and Alicia. And as far as Ali Larter, i have always said if i could swap bodies with one chick in Hollywood it would be her. She's just the right mix of fit and feminine.

Tights Lover said...

Great post. You make an excellent point with the Ali pics!!

They are all such beautiful ladies! I love Reece's Nude dress! Its classic :)

Tina T said...

I love the way you showed the difference between the look with flats and heels. Some of my friends that are tall are in a constant battle with the men in their lives because they want to wear heels that make them the same height. You just can't be dressed up without heels, plain and simple.

Unknown said...

love the look of ali larter and ashlee robert, thanks for visit my blog

Thanks Colin. I appreciate it. I'll be 39 in a couple of hours. I don't feel any different. The big birthday will be next year when I turn 40. I'm getting ready to post birthday posts on both my blogs if you wanna check them out. Cheers!
