3 Styling Top Tips for Tall Women:
- Understand your body shape- Knowing which body shape you are can be really helpful when you are looking to upgrade your wardrobe, are you apple shaped, pear, hourglass, triangle, or rectangle?
- Know your measurements – As we spoke about in our previous blog ‘How To Find The Perfect Fit For Tall Jeans‘ knowing inseam lengths, arm lengths, and hip measurements can be really useful especially when shopping for properly fitted clothing.
- Understand your proportions – Knowing whether you have longer legs and a shorter torso, or vice versa is essential when shopping for your frame.
