Simple.
1. Raise the waistline from your hips to just below your waist. Wearing jeans, shorts, pants, or skirts low on your hips gives you a shorter looking leg.
2. Skirts should stop just above the knee, minis and mid-thigh skirts can make your legs look chunky unless they are very slim.
3. Pants and jeans should have one long line from low on your waist to your ankle. No wide flares or tapered, they should be straight or boot cut for the smoothest line.
4. Add skinny heels to your shoe selection, a chunky heel makes your foot and calf look heavier and shorter.
5. A more pointed toe lengthens your leg line more than a square or short round one.
6. When wearing a long dress or skirt, it should be one solid color or a very small print. Large patterns can add bulk and loose length due to the eye being drawn so many places.
7. When wearing skirts and dresses, have some good hose on as often as possible. Sheer, or shimmery for evenings, hose can lengthen and slim the legs.
8. Your hose, when possible, should match your skirt and/or hose. Wearing dark shoes and loght hose breaks up the line. Wear dark hose with dark skirts and shoes, and light hose with light skirts and shoes.
9. Open toe shoes and sling backs can slenderize your legs, and make them look longer.
10. Avoid ankle strap or other strappy shoes. The lines going across your ankle or foot breaks up the line.
11. Make sure your pants and jeans fall over your ankle. The longer the leg on the clothing, the longer yur legs look. Pair them up with high heeled boots for a great look.
12. Aviod capris. As cute as they are, anything that falls around your calf can make your legs look shorter and heavier.
When you try on clothing, step back from the mirror a few feet. You should be able to tell if something adds length, or takes it away.

:) the general rule with clothing is for longer looking legs, wear your skirts or dresses an inch or two above the knee. tall women with naturally long legs can pull off wearing a long skirt or dress.
of course, you could pull that off as well. we pretty much have to accept our bodies as the shells that contain our spirit. the length of your legs will remain the same, of course.
keep them lean and trim...muscular. kickboxing is so great for toning your legs, assuming your legs aren't perfectly toned in the first place.
exercises that lengthen, like tai chi or pilates, might help make you feel longer. i don't know how old you are, or if you're still growing or not, but if you want your bones to lengthen and be more dense you need to do some reasonable weight-bearing exercise...and take in lots of calcium and vitamins.
good luck. my best advice is to accept yourself the way you are, and work with it....play it up to the hilt!

As we know that's not you in the pic, I can tell you that you can achieve this by wearing one colour clothes from top to bottom, wear long jeans(not low waist as it cuts the height) and a short top and heels. Also wear jeans with vertical stripes. Also, losing a bit of chunk will also make your legs look longer.
