    Hi Myka, I’ve had my fair share trying all the mentioned. I prefer the “Cambridge Cross”. I’m 5’2 in height and the “Sussex Slant” was very uncomfortable for me especially on the train. Also I’ve been told that crossing your leg on top of the other for long periods of time can hinder blood flow so I prefer crossing at the ankles.

  • @catherinepeters9014

    @catherinepeters9014

    It IS actually bad for circulation to cross legs one over the other and this can also do nerve damage, especially for long periods. Crossing at the ankles is better and less damaging.

    Cute video! My mother taught me to never cross my legs at the knee because it can cause broken veins so I’ve never let myself sit that way. Miss manners also says that men nor women should cross their legs at the knee. Men can rest one ankle on one knee like you suggested (but your photos didn’t seem to show) and women may cross their ankles which you demonstrated so beautifully. 😍

    When crossing your legs you should not lean back to cross them, nor should you swing your legs crossed. The manuever should occur gracefully and with little to no upper body movement. Men should not sit cross legged. In speaking of modesty, a woman’s dress or skirt should cover her knee caps
