The Ultimate Style Guide to Tall Women’s Clothing

If you are a tall woman, you have probably wondered why the runways are filled with girls your height, but you cannot seem to find tall women’s clothing anywhere in the stores! Or why is it that when you finally find a pair of pants that fit, your proportions look entirely off? We cannot be the only ones who have looked at other tall women like Blake Lively or Zendaya and wondered how they manage to look flawless no matter what they wear! 

Today, we have the ultimate style guide to tall women’s clothing that can help you transform your style. These are tried and tested fashion tips that have helped many other women. We have also mentioned stores that we keep going back to that cater to our sizes. After all, if the world is a runway, it deserves to see you in all your long-legged glory!

Fashion Tips for Tall Women's Clothes:

Ladies, when it comes to dressing up, knowing your body and what looks good on it is everything. Here are our top fashion tips for tall women’s clothing:

Keep your proportions in mind: Most stores put all tall women's clothing in a single category. But, the truth is that some of us have a longer torso than legs or vice versa. It is essential to know how your body is proportioned so you can choose what looks best for you. If you have a longer torso, high-waisted bottoms can help balance it out. But if you have a shorter torso, look for low to mid-rise bottoms that will elongate it.

Experiment with your waistline: As discussed in the above tip, a balanced proportion is the most flattering. Despite where your natural waist is, you can always experiment with your clothes’ waistline to find a point that complements you. Once you find it, you can choose bottoms whose waistband hit that point. If you are wearing a flowy dress, you can do this with belts or waist ties.  

Layering can be your best friend: As much as we try to find a  top whose sleeves come up to our wrists, we will always come across a cute one whose sleeves are just a little too short. You do not have to longingly stare at it anymore! Get that top and layer it with a great pair of arm sleeves. Alta 8 has amazing armwear in different materials and designs that will add an extra flair to your outfits. If your tops’ sleeves are going to be short, you might as well have fun with them!

Find the right fit: Wearing clothes with hemlines that end at the right place does not mean that you have to drown yourself in oversized clothes. Some stores recognize this sizing issue and make clothes that are targeted to the taller population. Wearing huge clothes or spending tons to get them tailored are not your only two options. We have store recommendations below where you can find clothes that will have the perfect fit for you.

Forget about rules and have fun: The most crucial fashion tip we have is not caring about all these ‘rules’ about what someone of your height can and cannot wear. Have fun with your clothes! Play around with them and discover what makes you feel the most like yourself. If you like six-inch heels, rock them! If you prefer horizontal striped pants, go for it! The most important accessory is confidence, and that only comes when you feel good about yourself.
