Tall girls have it hard to finding an outfit that complements their height. The outfits are always too short or too heavy. We are always the odd ones out trying to pair that kurti with some heels. It can be stressing to go shopping and not find a single outfit that fits your height.

Basic rules and tips you should know when picking an outfit to dress a tall figure

Use a waist tie to create curves

Switch up your oversized dresses and shirts by adding a slim belt to your waist. A belt accentuates your curved and gives your body a nice definition. The curves also steal away some attention from your height. Be careful about which outfit you throw a belt on. Some clothes are designed to have a lose structure on the waist and may end up looking ridiculous.

Avoid clothes that are too large

Clothes which are too large for your body will make you appear heavy and unflattering. Oversize clothes also make you shapeless by hiding away your curves.

Don’t fear wearing heels

People always think that if you are tall, you can’t wear heels because it exaggerates your height. Do not listen to them. You are never too tall for a pair of heels. Instead of constantly wearing flats, change out your shoe type depending on the occasion. Even tall people need to look sophisticated in heels.

Oversized accessories are your friend

Open collars make you appear taller. You can’t always wear one type of collar. V- Neck, round and deep collars increase the length of your torso. You can cover this by adding jewellery to you.

Show some legs and arms

Finding an outfit that fits your legs and arms can sometimes be a problem. Instead of dismissing beautiful and trendy outfits because of this, you can wear the mid length to create your own fashion statement. Choose to stick to a store that offers clothes that fit your size. This way you will save the time and effort needed to go through and try countless of outfits only to lack one.

Avoid wearing vertical stripes

Vertical stripes make you appear taller and thinner. If you are tall and thin, then you can imagine how these striped will make your exaggerated figure look. Don’t try these stripes unless you want this illusion or perception. Horizontal stripes increase your width and reduce your height.

High neck blouses are perfect

Blouses with high closed necks are good for breaking the monotony between your torso and you neck. They take the attention away from the long neck. This does not mean you should avoid other neck designs. Tops are so versatile and if you find one whose design you like then you have to compromise and accessorize it for a perfect fit.

Avoid broad shoulders

Extra shoulders like super long sleeves, ruffles, flares and puffy sleeves will make your shoulders look broad and create a disproportion in your body. Heavy shoulders create an unflattering figure on tall women.
