Here at Long Tall Sally, we’re all about empowering taller women and making shopping a breeze. Finding clothing that actually fits your figure and body type doesn’t need to be a mission! That’s why we’ve created the ultimate guide to the best styling tips for tall women.
Whether you’re looking for outfit inspo or simply just looking for some advice on what to wear – we have all the fashion picks for tall ladies.
Styling Tips
3 Top Fashion Tips for Tall Women:
- Understand your body shape: knowing which body shape you are helps guide what clothing styles flatter your figure. 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 makes getting the perfect fit (especially bottoms) risk-free.
- Understand your proportions – Knowing whether you have longer legs and a shorter torso, or vice versa is another guidance to picking flattering styles to suit your body.
Define Your Waist
Adding definition to your waist creates a more defined figure and hourglass shape that shows off your fabulous long legs at the same time.
Adding a belt to any outfit is an easy and quick way to make it work every time.
At Long Tall Sally, we have a range of styles that cinch your waist in! Check out this season’s must-have styles below:
V-Necks
Choose a v-neck to balance your proportions by elongating your neck. They also soften the frame and work great with layers, so you don’t have to struggle with styling options!
If you are a taller woman with a larger bust, v-necks are great for providing shape, and for those who have a smaller chest, they create the illusion of curve and depth.
Heels
Have you been told to avoid wearing heels as it’ll make you look ‘taller’? Or, you might have stayed away from them altogether. Well, we say – don’t!
What’s not to love about embracing your height and styling a gorgeous pair of heels at the same time? Not only do they elongate your legs, but they elevate any outfit.
Flats
If you prefer not to have the added height, then we have a range of flat shoe options that will have you covered for all occasions this season. Whether you’re looking for trainers, ballet flats, or sandals, we have you covered.
Sweeping Maxi’s
Tall women can style maxi skirts effortlessly! With our longer length maxi skirts, there’s no falling short here. It’s best to know your measurements so you know your dream maxi skirt will be the perfect fit.
Check out our picks below:
High Waists
High waisted bottoms will enhance your natural proportions and help to define the waist. High-waisted styles also offer more comfort and coverage, which is both flattering and practical.
Wide Leg Jeans
Wide leg jeans work similarly as they add volume to your lower body and balance out your height. Opt for our wide leg jeans for a more proportionate look.
Patterns & Colour
Bold prints or colourful pieces help divide the frame visually. Patterns create movement and draw the eye across the body. This adds texture and depth, which can soften a tall or angular silhouette.
Stripes
Tall women have the height to carry off stripes of all kinds—thin, bold, horizontal, vertical, diagonal—without the pattern overwhelming their frame. Stripes instantly elevate a look and add stylish detail.
