Fashion For Tall Ladies

We’ve all been teased for our height, but being tall can actually be a fashion-forward advantage. After all, you can make a bold statement in a maxi dress (shown above) and you’ll never have to worry about pants dragging on the ground or a skirt being too short. Just be sure to break up the strong vertical lines with a pop of color near your face and an on-trend belt bag (also shown above).

Another way to show off your height is by wearing a v-neck. This will draw attention to your neck and shoulders, making you appear more slim and elongated. You’ll also want to avoid strappy tops that cut off your arms, as these will make you look like an out-of-control tree. A sleeveless tee or blouse is fine, but you might consider wearing it with a cardigan or blazer to give your outfit structure.

When it comes to dresses, midi and maxi styles will be flattering on you, especially with a loose fit. A sleeveless midi dress looks great with pumps or heels and a clutch. And a maxi dress with an A-line hemline will be very flattering. If you’re looking for a formal dress, check out Ann Taylor or Nordstrom, which offer special tall sizing to add up to 2.5 inches to regular clothing.

Other fashion items for tall ladies to try are a peplum dress that will add waist definition and create a more feminine figure or a fitted, sleeveless maxi dress. Both of these can be dressed up or down, depending on your style personality and needs.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to wear patterns and prints. This will also help to elongate your frame and break up the strong vertical lines that are already present from your long torso and legs. Don’t forget to team your patterned top with solid-colored bottoms to prevent the look from becoming too busy.

When it comes to shoes, there are endless options for tall women to choose from. Booties, wedges, sneakers and sandals all work well with a wide range of outfits. The best shoe, however, is the one that feels good on your feet and complements your outfit.

Fashion for Tall Ladies

Clothes shopping can be a drag when you’re a tall woman, but with the right know-how and style ideas, it can be fun and exciting. The key is to focus on finding clothes that fit well and are made of a fabric that makes you feel comfortable. Avoid fabrics that feel restrictive and opt for soft, stretchy materials instead, such as spandex or jersey. You’ll find that the fit is a lot better and you’ll probably get a lot more wear out of your pieces as a result.
