I Am Tall – Where Can I Find Trendy Clothes for My Size?

Not all women have the gift of being tall. Many people would love to be taller. However, being a tall woman isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. The main issue is clothing.

Women who stand heads above the rest usually have a difficult time finding trendy clothes that fit well. Shopping for clothes that has a timeless style can be time consuming and aggravating. There are a few guidelines that tall women can follow in order to make the trip into a clothing store less painless:

1. Evaluate your shape. If you have a long waist, avoid belly tops. This will only exaggerate your long torso. If you have long legs, wear long blouses that come to your hips. This will give the illusion that you have shorter legs.

2. Sometimes it’s not what you wear, but how you wear it. If you have ankle length pants, choose flats over high heels. The high heels will make your pants look too short.

3. Many clothing stores have a great selection of tall pants. Find the style you like, whether it’s skinny leg, wide leg, or relaxed fit and buy them long.

4. Long sleeves that actually reach your wrists are available in the junior’s department. This style is popular among teenagers, but can be worn by twenty and thirty year old. These long sleeves look great layered under sleeveless zip up hooded shirts that fall below the waistline of jeans.

5. Keep it simple. Find simple patterns that are small or wear muted colors with an oversize necklace. Too much color, a big pattern, and too much fabric can make a tall person look heavier.

There are so many clothing stores that meet the needs of the average sized woman, but few that fulfill the wishes of the tall woman. Here are a few stores found in most cities that carry clothes for taller women:

1. Aeropostale: Tall jeans
2. J.C. Penney: Long sleeved shirts that are long enough and long jeans
3. Macy’s: Trendy work attire

There are also many on line shops that specialize in tall women’s apparel. A simple search for these types of stores will produce a wealth of results.

Women today have a much better chance of finding clothes that are trendy and well-fitted as opposed to ten years ago. The Internet has brought an abundance of opportunities for people to find what they need quickly. For tall women everywhere, this is a wonderful time to live.
