TALL AND BEAUTIFUL
If you are fortunate enough to have those extra few inches then you are lucky that most styles will suit you. This is not to say there aren't things you should avoid, but generally there are lots of fabulous ways in which you can allow your clothes to embrace your height.
The first step is your choice of garments. Long dresses will always create a better impression of length, as there will be a continual flow from the shoulders area to the floor. The waist can be play down by the blouse being worn over the pants and skirts and tight belts should be avoided. They should wear wide belts and avoid tight clothes and skirts that are too short or too long. Belts should be worn to provide the dividing line between the top and bottom areas. Narrow belts will make your torso look extra long.
That long and lean effect can be obtained by sticking to one colour throughout the outfit. When wearing a dress, patterns should be avoided as much as possible. When wearing a top and trousers both garments should be the same colour with no belt worn or a belt of the same colour (introducing different colours will break up the length and the belt will act as a dividing line).
You should pay attention to details. Choose thin vertical stripes, detailing such as visible seams, and well-tailored darts and sharp creases, again to create length.
For your accessories choose long scarves or heavy necklaces depending on the occasion. Hats always accentuate height, as do high swept-back ponytails for those of you with longer hair. Avoid stud earrings or small hoops as they will look out of proportion and will make you look larger.
You have more scope in terms of the colours you should be wearing to truncate your height. Choose mixtures of dark and light colours, when combining tops and bottoms, and embrace patterns and detail that run across the width of tops. Monochromatic looks should be avoided.
Shoes play a big part in creating height (or not as the case may be). In selecting your shoes choose flat heels depending on the occasion or mules. Look for shoes that have detail on the flatter part of the shoe at the front as opposed to the heel.
Tall women can carry themselves off like a model. They need not feel odd about their height. On the other hand, by dressing up sensibly, they can take full advantage of their height and be as attractive as a medium-height woman.
