Alexa Chung

I don't understand why Alexa maintains such a thin body only to sabotage it by dressing in such an unflattering way. Her main figure problem is that she has short legs. So why does she always wear ankle-boots or flats, and oversize tops that hit mid-thigh? I get that she wants to have a certain style, but I don't believe in choosing a personal style that makes your body look bad.

@FutureFullOfBones, I know it seems crazy to say that her legs are short, and they do look pretty long in the photos you posted. But in other photos, the impression I get is that her torso is pretty long too, and her legs aren't all that long relative to her overall height. For example, in these photos:

Anyways, I could just be imagining things, but I feel like if her legs weren't so thin, they wouldn't look all that long...

You're right - she does look like she has a long torso. What I've noticed is that when you lose weight, your waist becomes smaller and moves 'higher' up due to less fat depositing on the hips, giving the illusion of longer legs. That's why skinnies always appear taller, and you look shorter/stumpier with weight gain.

I find her legs look long and obviously lean.

Well, they are so skinny looking that they make her look like the typical 'tall and skinny' person. (I googled, sources say she is 173cm, others who met her in person have written, she is shorter, but her legs are so skinny, that she appears taller)

Also, remember optical illusions? Take two objects that are equally tall. Put them side by side. If one of them is wider than the other, it will appear shorter.
 
She's posted on instagram recently that she's been doing ballet beautiful

I don't remember her ever saying anything about exercising - looking forward to seeing how her body changes!

Also I think the way she dresses sometimes emphasises her legs so they look (even) longer than they are and takes away from her torso
