Every woman, regardless of age, height and figure, wants to be bright, graceful, feminine and attractive, to stand out from others and catch the admiring glances of fans. Tall girls are no exception. It would seem that the modern fashion industry itself places them on the pedestal of beauty, but for some reason many of them still consider tall height not an advantage, but a disadvantage.
They try in every possible way to appear shorter, believing that flat-soled shoes, a minimum of accessories and nondescript wardrobe colors will help them with this. Tall girls forbid themselves to wear high-heeled shoes and slouch, believing that these are the tricks that will make them appear more fragile. However, there is a simple way to achieve the desired effect. It is enough to follow certain recommendations when choosing a wardrobe.
How to choose clothes for a tall girl?
When selecting elements of your wardrobe, you need to follow simple recommendations:
- Lower your waistline, if you want to appear shorter than you are. It is the position of the waist that visually adds (or subtracts) a few centimeters, so a low-rise skirt or trousers, low-cut dress or tunic with an emphasis on the hips will make your height slightly lower than it actually is.
- Don't wear plain outfits. In clothes of the same color, the figure as a whole appears taller and longer, and to achieve the effect of short stature, you need to visually delimit the figure in half. Wear wide belts with dresses, and when pairing a skirt and blouse (or shirt and trousers), choose contrasting color combinations. Classic sets with a light top and dark bottom are just made for you.
- Add accents with accessories. You can safely wear what is not suitable for short girls, namely: large necklaces, bracelets, bright brooches and massive earrings, large bags and wide-brimmed hats that will visually make you look petite. Small jewelry, on the contrary, will “get lost” and will seem childish (this rule especially applies to costume jewelry).
- Add more color. Bright clothes look good on tall women. Unlike short girls, a bright outfit will attract attention and admiring glances without making the image look teenage. Tall women can safely wear fashionable neon colors: blue, pink, yellow, green, red.
- Choose eye-catching prints. Feel free to wear clothes with large contrasting checks, with a pronounced geometric pattern or ethnic ornament. A horizontal stripe or pattern will help to visually make your height shorter.
- Choose ruffles and flounces. Long layered and wide skirts, loose tunics with fringes and blouses with ruffles look great on tall girls - all this will add femininity to your look.
Trousers and jeans
Trousers really suit tall girls. If you want to make yourself appear shorter, choose pants and jeans that fall below the waist. Wear wide flares from the hip, straight trousers or tapered styles - you can do it all. In addition, only tall girls can safely wear capri pants and breeches, because they are not suitable for others.
Tall girls are suitable for different types of trousers - especially breeches
Loose trousers, riding breeches and wide trousers with ankle cuffs will look great. Tapered trouser models should ideally have cuffs. Pay attention to the current trend - overalls. A loose denim jumpsuit looks great on a tall girl with a slender figure.
Blouses and shirts
Tall girls are often embarrassed by their broad shoulders. When choosing blouses, T-shirts and shirts, change the accents. For example, a V-neck will draw attention from the shoulder line to the neck. You can choose clothes with long or short sleeves, but avoid ¾ length, otherwise others will get the impression that the clothes are too small for you. If you do not have wide shoulders, without a doubt, choose the “raglan” style - this way you will equalize your shoulders and hips.
Blouse designs suitable for tall girls
Feel free to try on blouses with frills and lace collars, as well as loose oversized tops. But stand-up collars will not suit you: this style pulls the image upward. Short blouses, crop tops and T-shirts should be chosen with care to avoid the impression that the item is too short for you. Combine crop tops with full midi skirts with a high waistline. And blouses, T-shirts and shirts should be of medium length or mid-thigh length.
Dresses
Tall girls can proudly wear short cocktail dresses to show off their leg length. However, here it is worth maintaining a balance so as not to cross the line of excessive frankness and not create a vulgar image. To figure out how long your dress should be, stand straight and lower your arms. The place where the palms touch the hips is where the ideal length will be determined when choosing a minidress.
Feel free to fill your wardrobe with mini and midi dresses!
Casual dresses should be semi-fitted for a formal yet feminine look. Tall girls can afford to wear styles with an open back and a deep neckline, which visually reduce their height. By the way, long sundresses suit tall girls much better. It’s worth taking a look at the current bright dress in the style of the 60s, with a fluffy midi-length skirt.
Skirts
Fitted straight skirts knee-length or mid-thigh length, floor length, as well as feminine flowing and flared styles will suit you. A pleated midi skirt and a lush tulip slightly above the knees will look impressive on a tall girl. The main thing when choosing a skirt is to balance the proportions of the figure.
- If you have curvy hips, hide them with a classic skirt paired with a fitted jacket that reaches mid-thigh.
- For girls with narrow hips, you can make your figure more proportional with the help of multi-layer maxi length models and bell skirts with a full petticoat.
Opt for a bell or sheath skirt
Outerwear
Choose a coat or raincoat that reaches the knee line. It is better not to wear long outerwear, as it will visually increase your height. The exception is luxurious fur coats - only tall girls look regal in long flowing furs. For tall women, trapezoidal coats, wide capes and bright ethnic ponchos are also suitable.
Shoes
Many tall girls wear only flat shoes, not daring to add extra centimeters. However, these shoes make your feet seem too big. Shoes with small heels will help to visually add miniatureness, which will reduce the length of the foot. Do not wear shoes with a pointed toe, but give preference to classic models: the rounded edge of the shoe will remove a few extra centimeters. You can also visually reduce your foot size by wearing wedge shoes.
Shoes with low heels will make you look petite.
Wear shoes that contrast with your clothes, because if they match the color of pants or a floor-length dress, your entire figure will be visually elongated. Jumpers and bright longitudinal inserts on shoes or sandals also contribute to the visual effect of reducing height and reducing the size of the foot. For the autumn, spring and winter seasons, feel free to choose high-top boots or even over the knee boots.
And finally - never slouch! This will not reduce your height, but will only create the impression of tightness, leading to poor posture and problems with the spine. Walk with your head held high, because tall women always look impressive and attract the attention of the opposite sex.
TO As a rather tall girl, I am constantly looking for clothes that are both fashionable and look perfect on me. If you also consider yourself to be quite tall, kick up your stilettos! (You'll find out why later.) As a tall woman (178 cm), I constantly face a lot of questions and opinions about my height and weight, and what clothes suit me, among other things. One of these opinions states that it is easy to choose clothes that fit my parameters.
X mmmm…. Yes and no, actually. Finding things that suit both my height and my weight can sometimes become very difficult. As with any size, we need time to figure out what looks best on us and won't end up looking like we got it from a kids' store. If you need a little direction, I offer some tips for tall ladies that will help you embrace every inch and combine your height with style!
VARIETIES OF STORES
WITH The most effective fashion trick for tall girls is both the most obvious and simple: no matter what store you go to, ask about the availability of clothes for tall girls. Many stores offer large size lines in their assortment. It's great when you can find something that suits you without having to hunt around the store for models hidden somewhere.
E Another trick is to go to the men's departments. Now listen to me carefully: the required length can be found in this place. If the women's departments offer a fairly small range of sizes, you don't have to go to specialty stores, just look in the men's department.
TO By the way, here you can find tight jeans of the required length or a pullover with sleeves of the desired size. The third trick is to use specialized online stores for tall girls, for example, longtallsally.com (I love this site) or you can search a hundred on
PLAY THE FIT ON
P While you are looking for the size you need, be sure to try on what you like. Trying on a particular model before purchasing is the most important rule that will help save time and money in the future. As soon as you find a suitable item and pick it up, immediately buy a second one of the same kind.
P Purchasing several identical items gives you the opportunity to have the right copy in stock. You don’t know whether the store will replenish product items when the available ones run out. Our need for a large size dictates to us the rule of stocking up on several units of the same thing of a suitable size.
A HAIRCUT!
B As a tall woman, you can wear almost any haircut! Get a bold haircut, big waves, a very short haircut or long straight hair style, whatever you want! Your fantastic height will overwhelm even the most daring hairstyle. Ignore all statements regarding reducing the incredibleness of your favorite haircut.
N in fact, the more brightness, the better! Plus, wear bright lipstick! Realizing that we are already too tall, we try to hide, not to stand out, since there are already so many of us. Amaze everyone with your unique look: incredible hairstyle and bright makeup, just the way you like. For example, just like in painting, a bright accent is needed to draw attention to the overall structure of the canvas. As they say, you are greeted by your clothes and escorted by your mind!
SLEEVES AND Neckline
P Our great height comes with broad shoulders. If this is your case, consider wearing shirts that make your neck stand out. A deep neckline or V-neck will draw attention away from your shoulders. When trying on shirts, choose long sleeves, short sleeves or sleeveless, but not three-quarter sleeves. Such sleeves make you look funny, as if you were wearing small clothes, while long sleeves will make the image correct and proportional.
FOCUS ON YOUR LEGS...WEAR PANTS!
IN Tall girls, you look great in pants! Wide pants, straight or tight pants. They all look gorgeous on you! You don't have to hide your height. The only problem in choosing pants is the length. High-waisted pants will suit you perfectly. They will slightly shorten the length of the body. Are you already tired of such models? Then quickly jump into skinny jeans, they will accentuate your figure and highlight the amazing length of your legs. Or try comfortable flared pants, they look just as flattering with your height. They will look great on you! Regardless of what you choose, always be confident!
DECORATE YOUR LENGTH
P If you want to wear a skirt, a safe midi, a bold mini, or a luxurious maxi will suit you. Very long skirts will increase your height without adding extra pounds. Just like skirts, maxi dresses look chic on you! Dress up and feel like a queen.
Z If you wanted something shorter, try knee length. The trapezoidal shape of the silhouette will balance your figure and add elegance to your image. Beware of skirts that are too short above mid-thigh, otherwise be prepared for strong winds. Don't be afraid to expose a piece of skin, but in this case you need to be absolutely sure that everything is in order there.
WEAR HIGH HEELS
M Many tall women among us try to get as low to the ground as possible and not wear stiletto heels. But, if you love heels, feel free to wear them and don’t be afraid of anything. Stilettos always look wonderful and sexy and complement any look. I like the idea of highlighting our height with a pair of stilettos.
TO Heels increase our height, make our image more noticeable and force us to pay attention to our entire silhouette. Be proud of your height, without which you would not be YOU! Do your best or do nothing!
CHOOSE CUTE BALLETS
WITH I agree, lady, sometimes great height is accompanied by lower back pain. No matter what exercise we do or don't do, no matter what position we occupy, pain can take even the tallest of us by surprise. High heels can make the problem worse. If, indeed, high heels are not your thing, wear small heels or just beautiful ballet flats!
X Although, even if you adore stilettos, for the sake of interest and variety, wear slippers. Regardless of the style of shoes you wear, choose bright colors, a splash of sequins, or interesting details. Finally, the most eye-catching element of your look may be those huge boots!
MIX AND PLAY WITH PROPORTIONS
ABOUT, rich details - proportions and color combinations. Large jewelry, tight clothes, large accessories, simple dresses, tight jeans, a roomy top. Your height can easily carry all these style accents. When choosing clothes, combine flared trousers with a tight top.
AND By playing with proportions, you erase the massiveness of the image and angularity. I love pairing breeches with a loose tank top, sandals, chunky jewelry and a huge bag. Try it!
LARGE AND LARGE ACCESSORIES
IN Large and oversized accents look great on you! On a long silhouette, small decorations get lost and stand out from the overall proportions of your body. Instead of tiny clutches, opt for giant bags. What about the decorations? Instead of thin chains around your neck, wear short but wide ones; you can also combine short chains with long ones, but don’t overdo it.
T Thin belts certainly look cute, but they will also get lost on your figure and cut your look in half. But wide belts will become your waist's best friends. Try a wide belt over a tunic! Super! In any case, you can always use plus size accessories in your wardrobe.
AVOID OVEREXCESS
N Wear accessories in moderation. Use just a few accents to spark interest in your outfit; a beautiful height is already a great accent to your look. I like the advice when you get ready, take off one accessory. Well, go ahead, place accents evenly without overloading the image with them.
FLASHES OF COLOR
I bright colors are fantastic. A great way to brighten up an outfit and give it interesting details. Let the eye fall on you and take in all the details from head to toe, but make one or two stops on accents. Wear bright colored accessories correctly and with taste.
USE PRINT
P While we're thinking about color, let's get distracted a little by prints. Simple genius, try it. Some tall girls are afraid to wear prints and are embarrassed by them. If you like prints on fabric, use them. Dilute the print by combining it with strict elements. For example, if you choose a printed maxi dress, choose a solid colored belt and neutral accessories. There's no need to be shy about print or pattern. You can create a completely printed look without the fear of being misunderstood.
GENTLE CARE
E Everyone knows that rule, but I’ll mention it anyway. Use dry cleaning or wash items in cold water. In fact, cold water should be your best friend. Proper care of your clothes will not only prolong their life, but also preserve the shape of the item and its color. Items in non-standard sizes often cost much more. Who wants to look for a replacement for a damaged item if there is no need for it?
ANOTHER IMPORTANT TRICK OR TWO
AND Sometimes our clothes still shrink no matter how much we take care of them. When this happens, you need to be able to hide this flaw. Shrunken shirt? Tuck the ends inward to high waist height and secure with a wide belt. Are your pants too short? Roll up your pant legs a little higher and go for a bike ride. Or tuck the legs into tall boots. Nobody will see the difference.
E oh, my tall sisters, being tall is wonderful! Make your look confident and stylish from head to toe! Love your height! Brag about it! How wonderfully can you transform your silhouette? Please create with us!
Every girl’s dream, of course, is to be slim, because on skinny people everything looks impressive and elegant. However, many cannot even imagine how difficult it can be to choose a wardrobe that hides existing flaws. Dresses for thin girls are, first of all, a well-chosen style that emphasizes your assets in combination with suitable shoes and the necessary jewelry.
What's best to avoid?
Of course, thin girls can experiment as much as they want with images, but there are still some points that will make it easier to demonstrate the advantages of your figure from the most advantageous side.
What style of dresses should you avoid when choosing?
- If a girl has not only a slender figure, but also quite tall, then she is not recommended to choose dresses that are too short or with an open top, as this option may look provocative. It should be noted that such an image is acceptable as an evening or formal look, so to speak, for a formal weekend, but not for everyday life.
- Lovers of tight fabrics and models need to understand that in cases of excessive thinness they are not entirely appropriate. As an example, we can explain that too sharp shoulder blades will look less appetizing in this image, and especially in dark colors, which visually reduce the volume, than in another style of dress.
- Shapeless dresses can aggravate the situation, since it is better to stick to the middle ground between a “hoodie dress” and an overly tight one.
- There is a concept about heavy fabrics that do not wrinkle, which will not look appropriate on a thin figure.
- Those with a thin figure need to be careful when choosing dresses with a deep neckline and open sleeves; there are times when a girl prefers to leave certain areas closed.
- In addition, it is not recommended to choose a dress with a too large floral print.
Which options should you prefer?
Following some nuances will help you present your figure in the best light, such as:
- Many dresses look great on skinny people, especially high-waisted ones. This style will help to visually add height and make the waistline more pronounced.
- If you want to choose a style, on the contrary, with a low waist, you can choose a dress with a slouchy top
- You can choose dresses with additional elements such as frills, pockets, bows.
- Even the simplest dress can be diluted and complemented with accessories, such as beads, belts, a bag and suitable shoes. The main thing here is the ability to harmoniously combine these things without overloading the image with excess.
- For those with very thin ruts, it is more advisable to choose the appropriate dress length, but this rule applies to those who consider this a disadvantage rather than an advantage.
Dress for a special occasion
Taking advantage of a special occasion, it would be great to decorate yourself with a dress made of flowing and light fabric. This style can be decorated with various draperies and lace. Of course, as mentioned above, it would be no worse to add not too massive accessories to the image. A dress in a bright or bed color will look very impressive. In this case, the use of dark shades is not prohibited, but it is better to choose light colors.
Dress styles for thin girls
The options presented below will help make your figure even more impressive and are suitable not only for special occasions, but also for everyday life.
Tulip dress
Modern stylists consider this style a real find. This is explained by the fact that such an outfit emphasizes the waist and visually enlarges the breasts and hips.
Greek style dress
If you want to hide too thin legs and focus on your chest, this option will come in handy more than ever. The silhouette in such an outfit will look feminine and gentle, and the girl will feel like a real goddess.
Sheath dress
This option creates the correct proportions and hides flaws in any figure, including thin ones. Such dresses can be decorated with embroidery, decorative seams and ruffles.
Babydoll dress
A dress with an A-line skirt and a high waist visually sculpts the breasts and corrects the hips. This model helps the girl look fragile and tender.
Retro style dress
The fashion of the 50s is still relevant today. Such dresses are considered the standard of femininity, which undoubtedly suit slender beauties.
Tall girls can easily afford long maxis, as well as elegant midis, although short minis look great on them. When choosing a model, you need to correctly determine the length of the product and the height of the heel, then everything will fall into place.
- The most spectacular dresses will be dresses with flared skirts or tunics. When choosing a mini, the length should be slightly above the knee. A sheath dress looks no less impressive.
- Layered midis, loose-fitting or A-line dresses, romantic ruffles, flounces and tiered skirts will perfectly complement your wardrobe.
- Long dresses and sundresses with a laconic cut will be optimal for walking, relaxing or working.

Tall height is not always an advantage for a girl. It gives rise to many problems - both psychological, physiological, and purely everyday.
When you don't look down on me
Not everyone wants to walk the catwalk and make a career in the modeling business. Dressing beautifully, looking harmonious next to your man and not being embarrassed by the fact that you are head and shoulders taller than all your friends; on the contrary, everyone wants it. The result of childhood shyness, moreover, can be a stooped posture, which does not suit anyone, regardless of gender, height and age. And finally, ready-made clothing: it is very difficult to choose, not because the potential buyer does not know what dresses suit tall, thin girls. The reason is the concept of most manufacturers who adhere to the size standard, that is, things for tall people automatically become clothes for plus-size people. All that remains is to envy those whose height does not go beyond average. They don’t care about the question of which dress is suitable for a tall, thin girl or a short donut. They are standard, trendy, and chocolate! What should tall people do?
Stylists believe that tall height is always an advantage. However, they still practice a special approach to ladies with non-standard figures. They believe that dresses that suit tall and thin people ideally are long, elegant dresses made of shimmering satin or light flowing silk, preferably plain, but with a belt in a contrasting shade.
Experts recommend always focusing on the waist - it allows you to draw attention to even the small natural roundness of the figure by contrast. If you use underwear with a push-up effect, which today can be bought in any online store of the appropriate profile, then the problem will almost always disappear without a trace. The exception is when the upper part of the body is noticeably longer than the lower part. Here you need special tricks to achieve harmonious proportions: you need to look for styles with an asymmetrical emphasis on the waist line.
Styles are prohibited
Miniskirts, in which tall, thin girls do not look their best, are blacklisted. Following them, trapezoidal silhouettes and sheath dresses go into exile - they visually lengthen, and therefore are not suitable for our wardrobe. A categorical no, I have to say, for which the shapes and proportions must be ideal. Let's leave vertical stripes and skirts with slits for the short ones, and black for the chubby ones. And for ourselves, we’ll leave a round neckline on the chest, smocks and draperies.
And yet, style or fabric is not the most important thing in this life. In the end, it doesn't really matter what dresses suit tall, skinny girls. It’s much more important who these girls go through life with. It’s not fatal to make a mistake in choosing “your” outfit - you can’t make a mistake in choosing your person. But that's a completely different story...
