Fashion Tips for Tall Women

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. In fact most models are tall and carry off well the best of designers' wear. Selection of dress should be such that the height does not come into too much prominence and an impression is created that the person is shorter than the usual height, unless of course, the person likes being tall.

Selection of dresses and accessories for tall women who are fashion conscious:

To Lessen the Tall Impact:

• Preference should be given to long dresses from the shoulder having a continual flow. 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.
• If one were to wear a dress one should avoid patterns as far as possible. In the case of a top and trouser, both the garments should be of the same color with no belt worn or a belt of the same color, as different colors will break up the length, and the belt will as act as a dividing line.
• Choose mixtures of dark and light colors, when combining tops and bottoms and prefer patterns and detail that run across the width of tops. Monochromatic looks should be avoided and the gaze of the eye should be from left to right. Do not wear short skirts and should wear tops over skirts or pants to cut height around the waist area. Avoid very long skirts, as you may appear too tall. Also for tall women, it is highly recommended that they wear more skin tights and probably even shorter jeans with some visible pockets.
• Choose flat heels and look for shoes that have detail on the flatter part of the sole at the front rather than at the heel.
• Avoid stud earrings or small hoops as they will look out of proportion and will make you look larger. When comes to bags and wallets, the bigger the better. They should not carry small purses, as it will give an awful look

Heigthten Your Height:

• You can also go in for horizontal stripes if you want to be rather bold about your height. Height can be displayed by tall clothes, long lines, knee-high boots (with heels), and long hair.
• Accessories should be large, as they look best on tall women. Hoop earrings and dangling long earrings would come across well.
• Long necklaces flatter tall women and one can go in for a chunky bead necklace or a necklace with a funky large pendant. Also, long layers of pearls wrapped into several strands look terrific on tall women.
• Big and bright bags should be used, and when it comes to pattern one should make sure that the stripes, patterns and dots are very large.
• Of course if you want to heighten your height then you should go in for shoes with heels.

Naturally, a tall woman need not feel shy of her height. On the other hand she should boldly display it if she so desires or underplay it if she feels her height is not an attribute. Either way she has a choice, unlike many others.
