Top 5 fashion accessories for tall girls
Flats. Truth be told, if you're 5'7" or taller, the best part about being
tall—is being even taller. But in all honesty, some days you just feel like
going au naturel.
Show off your natural height in flats from fashion-forward Nine West. On a
budget? Payless offers an array of flats at killer prices! The best part?
Payless carries larger sizes, some shoes even go up to a size 12.
Scarves. Can't almost anyone wear a scarf and look uber-chic? Listen up, tall
girls! You've probably got a beautiful asset that you've never even noticed
before: a long, slender neck.
That's right, show off your collar bone and highlight that vertical beauty! You
can find bright and colorful scarves almost anywhere from Kohl's to Target to
Forever 21.
A pair of long jeans—that won't break the bank. We all know that designers like
7 For All Mankind and Joe's Jeans offer jeans with inseams that go to 36 and
beyond--but who has an extra $240 laying around each time you'd like to update
your denim wardrobe?
Luckily, affordable clothing lines like those from Old Navy to Ann Taylor LOFT
to Banana Republic offer jeans for tall girls under $100. Most stores only offer
tall lengths online, so be sure you visit their websites for details. With
inseams anywhere from 34-36", you're sure to rock your jeans in style. Tip: Try
on your size in-store and order the same size, in a long length, online.
A tailored blazer. A blazer can go with you anywhere--throw it over a collared
blouse for work or layer it with a glitzy tank for a night on the town.
As a tall woman, we're often left with jackets that hit too high on the
waistline with sleeves that barely graze our forearms. Ideally, your blazer will
hit you just at the hip and your sleeves will at end at your wrist. Check out
Banana Republic's women's tall section and take comfort in the fact that their
designers know that in order for statuesque sisters to look put together, we've
got to have the right fit.
A casual dress. This one can be hard, but make sure you have fun with it. As a
tall woman, your focus is on coverage. You've got to ensure that your dress is
long enough to cover your lengthy legs appropriately for the event you're
attending while still covering you up top, too.
In other words, what you may wear to a baby shower should have a longer hem, and
a higher neckline, than what you might wear to your best friend's bachelorette
party. Check out the women's tall section on gap.com for simple dresses for day
or evening.
