quad size

[lulu68]

Ok, so I have a question.... My quads thigh area measure about 171/2 inches and I feel they look big. I'm 5ft talll what would be the best style short for my body shape to give the illision of longer thighs? Hope to hear from you!

OMG I would kill for 17-18 inch thighs and I'm not what you call TALL standing at 5'3" plus a little. LOL

I am not sure where you are measuring... high up at the widest part, or down lower towards your knee?

I measured mine just for reference, although I am much taller at 5'7". The widest part of my thigh, way up at the top, is 19 inches. If you go down to about 6 inches above my knee I am 16 inches. Your measurement doesn't sound bad either way.

The only advice I would have regarding wearing shorts is just not to wear shorts that stop at the widest point of your thigh... that tends to exaggerate the size of that area.
