Tall women

What to wear if you are tall - see our best tips and outfit inspo!
 

Tall girls have the opposite to consider as shorter girls. Tall girls need to be conscious that certain styles can look too small, short, or shrunken on them. This doesn't tend to be as big of a problem as clothes being too large on short girls, because clothes in general are made to fit a taller frame. But be aware of it! For instance, a short skirt will often look even shorter on you than someone of an average or shorter height. Keep this in mind as you are creating balance in an outfit. Try the tall size options offered by many modern clothing stores.

Flare pants:

Highlight those endless legs by wearing a top tucked into chic sailor pants! Key is the slight flare and floor-skimming length of these gorgeous pants.

Wide-leg denim:

You have room for voluminous jeans — so try out a wide-leg or exaggerated flare denim!

Volume, color & print:

Your body can handle baggy and oversized clothing, as well as lots of color and print! Wear all the over-the-top embellishment, textured fabrics, and shapes you want. But avoid wearing too much volume in terms of fabric or accessories — your height is already a striking statement!

High necklines:

Especially if you are slender, a high neckline like high-cut blouses, turtlenecks, and halter styles are great because they will accentuate a long, swan-like neck! A bonus for ruler, straight body shapes, halter necklines also add curves to the body.

Mid-calf hemlines:

Tall frames look incredible in cropped trousers and midi skirts (or anything that skims around the mid-calf area)!

Short skirts:

You likely have great, long legs if you are tall! So embrace them and show them off in miniskirts or dresses.

Break it up:

For a tall frame, unless you really want to feature your height, it's important to break up the look as much as possible! Do this with different-colored separates, by wearing something with cutout detailing, or by adding a belt.

Hats:

Tall women should choose hats with a wide brim and shorter crown, and stay away from narrow and angular shaped hats. This brings balance to the body.

Rounded handbags:

A round handbag adds a little curviness and softness to the frame, which is particularly nice if you are tall and thin!

Hair:

Wear your hair in styles that don’t have much volume/height around the top of your head (because that would just add more visual height!). Also, don’t go with an extremely short haircut as it can look pole-like on a tall woman. Shoulder-length and longer styles are best for you!
