Tall Lady Style

It's easy for me to forget that a tall lady can have just as many problems finding clothes to fit as us vertically challenged 'shorties'.  

Not only must she take into account her generic Body Type but finding garments that can accommodate a long torso with extra length in the sleeves and trouser legs can be a nightmare.

There are many tall ladies that exude confidence but others feel less than feminine when they find themselves towering over their contemporaries.

Celebrity beauties who stand tall

Many of the highest paid models in the world, athletes, actors and our own Duchess of Cambridge stand at least 5ft 10ins tall. 

The advantages of being a Tall Lady

• you are the perfect clothes horse
  

• you are never overlooked and are listened to with interest

Generic style tips

• Follow the guidelines for your generic Body Type initially

• Choose interesting shoes - everyone checks to see what heels you're wearing!

• Don't avoid heels, they do great things for your legs and posture

• Visually reduce height with interesting separates rather than top to toe color

• Create horizontal lines with wider collars, belts, hemlines etc.

• Feeling less than feminine, try wider softer silhouette with movement

Grooming for a Tall Lady
