Although there are so many women out there wishing they were taller, fashion is not that much easier for a woman who is above the average height. When it comes to shopping for your body type, casual trends and fashion can seem more like a gamble than the sure thing. If this sounds like how you related to shopping, let us help you eliminate the risk factor. Below are some helpful tips and techniques to help you find the styles and trends that best suit your height and will make you look great with the least amount of effort.
The first and maybe the most obvious techniques is to avoid crazy and bold patterns. Although you will see this is one of the hottest trends this year, it is only going to accentuate your height. With this being said, you will want to consider wearing a different color top than the color of your chosen bottom. This will help break up your body and therefore create the illusion you are shorter than you actually are. A great accessory to add to this technique is a fun wide belt. Belts can only increase the breakage we’re looking for here as well as increase the trend level of any given ensemble.
When it comes to dresses and skirts you will want to avoid dresses that go all the way to your ankles, this will make you look taller! On the contrary, you should aim for dresses and skirts that end around your shins. This is another breakage technique that creates the illusion of average height when it’s not true. The great thing about this tip is that because you are already taller than most women, the average maxi dress or casual dress may already end at your shins so the options may be limitless here depending on how tall you actually are. Hemming a dress you absolutely love is certainly not out of the question and is a great solution!
Lastly, I want to take a moment to mention women’s fashion accessories. Today’s casual trends are not calling for a great deal of accessorizing but taller women can get away with more than the average woman. For example, a great tip to carry with you every time you’re shopping for yourself is to choose oversized everything when it comes to accessories! This means earrings, purses, bags, bracelets and belts. Anything that can enhance the look of your clothing while at the same time create a shorter appearance is a must have. These larger accessories will draw people’s eye away from your height and towards your fantastic accessory choices. This is the perfect solution.
In the world of women’s casual clothing, you may feel you are being left out of the loop but every hot trend out there can be worn by taller women as well and if you are ever in doubt, accessorize! The casual trends of today are incredibly simple which makes accessorizing even more fun than usual. Use your imagination and attract attention to you, not your height!
