What should I wear if I'm tall? Here are some simple and practical tips together with some look ideas.
Foreword
I know what you're thinking, "height half beauty, how can they complain..." I confess that I too would have to do this though (and yes, I'm not low, I'm 1.72 cm), but I saw with my own eyes the difficulty of tall women in finding clothes suitable for their figure: trousers always too short, sleeves of the shirt over the wrists or sagging shoulders, a general sense of embossing that, instead of making them beautiful and feminine, did not bring out this point of their strength.
What to wear if you are tall, practical tips: in general
It goes without saying that the advice for the high among you will be roughly backward compared to those for the small women. If for them the ideal is too slender and lengthen the figure, here we must break it, being careful not to cut the legs, which, if they are long, are still a strength. There is also a distinction to make. Tall women can have a thin or strong physiognomy. In the second case, it is even more important to make her feminine, to avoid being "junonic", I don't know if I can explain myself. And you know very well that for me femininity has nothing to do with detachments, skids and "showiness" in general.
What to wear if you are tall, practical tips: lower the center of gravity
Which doesn't mean "saw your legs." It means using your height to balance your figure. To lower the center of gravity optically, the trick is to lower the waist, which you can do in two ways. The first is to use garments such as trousers and skirts with a low waist (not too much, I recommend you), a bit like that for those with long legs and a short torso. The second is to drop the eye down with low waist belts or long tops to the side that will break the figure, especially if you are apple physiognomy, so so softer on the abdomen.
What to wear if you are tall, practical tips: balance the silhouette with the cuts
The trick is to try to break the figure, unlike those who are minute and want to lengthen it. Midi skirts, ankle boots (but only if you have thin ankles and calves) and cropped pants above the ankle will be fine. If you have nice knees, avoid the cuissardes and put boots over the calf along with the skirt above the knee. Prefer coats that reach mid-thigh, instead of the very long ones that lengthen the figure.
What to wear if you are tall, practical tips: balance the silhouette with colors and patterns
Here, too, the concept of breaking the figure applies: avoid using the same color above and below, so that you do not give it continuity. As for the patterns, avoid vertical stripes in particular, especially for the trousers, which stretch.
to conclude: small clever shrewdnesses
Do not wear long palace pants with heels underneath, because you will look even taller. If you want to wear the heel, and there is nothing wrong with it, put on a trouser that arrives above the ankle, always for the speech to break the figure. You prefer large bags and envelope bags instead of clutches in case of ceremony. Last tip: especially in the case of shirts, make friends with a good shirt maker, who can make a tailored garment, perfect for you, without too short sleeves so that the shoulders are right or shoulders sagging so that the sleeves reach the wrists. I assure you that you will not spend exorbitant amounts.
