Tall Women's Style: What We Wear Better

Flats

Have you ever seen an average height female pull off the "flats and a knee length skirt" look without seeming awkwardly disproportionate? Let's get real short legs and flat shoes don't mix. Lucky for you, tall chicks don't have that problem. Your long legs don't need extra punctuation they tell your story all on their own. To get the look right, pair knee high flat boots with a mid thigh length skirt, showing off just enough leg to look both sweet.

Tunics and Long Tank Tops

For years, any shirt I bought struggled to meet the top of my pants. The influx of long tank tops and tunics into the market was a God send for tall women everywhere. A tunic or a long tank on a short woman just looks like she's wearing something made for a giant. Lucky for you, you are kind of a giant, so this trend is perfect. Throw on a long tank with skinny jeans and heels for a look you can take from day to night.

Oversized Accessories

Have you ever seen a short woman wear an extra wide belt that almost seemed to touch her arm pits? Not a good look. When a petite or average height woman wears oversized accessories, the accessories dwarf her body. But when you, as a tall woman, strap on a wide belt or don chunky jewelry, the effect is super cute. Try wearing a shirt dress with a wide belt and cowboy boots this week.

Athletic Wear

Even if you can't dribble a basketball or kick a soccer goal, height and athleticism are assumed to go hand in hand. This won't necessarily make you a better athlete, but it will ensure that you pull of the athletic look better than any of your short friends. And, lucky for you, as female athletes continue to receive mega press and attention, athletic clothing keeps getting cuter and cuter.
