All

long enough. With a great selection of fitted tees, laced trim
cami’s and halter neck tops, buying tops and t-shirts will no
longer be a shopping nightmare.
If
you are one of the lofty women who are taller than 5’9” here
are some fashion tips from Long Tall Sally, specialists in
dressing tall women.
-
Make
sure your jacket is in proportion. Cut and tailoring are
important even in soft dressing. Sleeves must reach the
wrist to avoid a gangly look and darts, seaming and lapels
must be properly proportioned. Long jackets and court coats
are a terrific look on tall women.
-
Wear
trousers and trouser suits – they’re best on tall women.
Your extra inches and long legs make for a truly striking
look.
-
Go
for the slouch pant – it’s flattering and fun. All wide
leg pants are great on long legs.
-
Get
your skirt length right. If your skirt comes to the middle
of your calf, it is neither flattering nor fashionable.
Short skirts should be above or just over the knee; long
skirts should skim the ankle.
-
Wear
layers – only tall women can carry off the layered look.
-
Don’t
be a victim of fashion – choose new styles carefully.
Three-quarter sleeves and pedal pushers can make a tall
woman look like “little orphan Annie”
-
Never
wear small brimmed hats, tiny jewellery, very short hair,
lots of frills or tiny handbags. Leave those to your shorter
friends while you strut out in bold colours and prints, long
jackets, large brimmed hats, scarves, shawls and the latest
trousers.
Check
out Long Tall Sally who offer a complete wardrobe for tall women in
sizes 10 to 20.
