What to wear for tall women

The general rule for tall women who want to emphasise their height is that they should choose long lines in one colour and those who wish to appear shorter should break their height up with separates of different colours. However, one of the biggest problems can be to find clothes for tall women. I am going to look at some retailers who have clothes collections specifically designed for taller women.

New Look has a fantastic collection of clothing for tall women for teenagers up to women in their late 20s. “We have designed a sophisticated and hip range of tall women’s clothing, specially selected and proportioned to fit all women 5Ft 7in over.” I love the Knitted Dress. This dress comes in one colour, fuscia, which is ideal for accentuating height, or in blue pattern stripes, which is ideal for reducing the appearance of height. The dress has long sleeves and a scooped neck line. To add height wear with a pair of heels, or to reduce height why not select a pair of boots.

New look have a great selection of jeans for tall women. The Boyfriend Jeans will fit women who are 5’7” or taller. Team with the purple Bamboo Waterfall Top for a striking affect, with a scooped neck and short sleeves with waterfall detailing, this top is stunning.  Another great top is the Jersey Polo Top. This top has very subtle detailing such as the wide hem which is gathered on one side and the keyhole at the back of the neck. This black top has long sleeves and a polo neck. This outfit is casual yet still stylish.

La Redoute has an En Plus and Taillissime range which includes clothes for tall women. Their range is very stylish with a continental twist. The clothes are great for women in their late 20s/early 30s and up. If you wish to reduce the appearance of your height then cropped trousers are great. The break in the line which reveals your ankles provides the illusion of lessened height.  Wear with flat shoes and a different coloured top, choose bold colours. The Laura Clement Straight Cut cropped Trousers with turn ups are great. They come in a length 62’ leg so will fit women who are 5’7 or more. They are crease free and have a turn up hem, and are available in black, navy, or beige.  Why not team with the Laura Clement Wrap-Over Top. This top has an integral bra, so no showing bra straps! This top is available in blue, brown, white, aqua blue, AND pink!

Dorothy Perkins has a dedicated collection of clothes for tall women of 5’7 and over. Their tops include wardrobe staples such as the Scoop neck Tops which can be dressed up or down with jeans or smart trousers or skirt. These tops are available in blue, green, white, rose, black and charcoal stripe. However, for smart occasions I like the Tall Navy Dobby Shirt. In navy blue, this top has a subtle pin stripe, v neck with button up front, and stitched detail on the bib. The shirt has long sleeves and a tie at the back. This top would look great with the Tall Black Naples Trousers, creating an ideal outfit for the office. The tall trouser range also included a selection of treggings and leggings, tailored trousers, and jeans.

Long Tall Sally is a retailer dedicated to providing fashion for tall women. As a result, the range is very impressive, providing the customer with a wider range to choose from. The clothes are designed for women in their early 30s and up. Infact, LTS is a one stop shop for all tall women’s fashion needs and advice. Their new collection of dresses is amazing. Real crowd stoppers. For that luncheon date or summer in the office, the Trinity Dress is stunning.  A shift dress in linen with piping under the bust, the floral prints really make you think of blue skies and Pimms! For the evening the Belton Dress is a must. It is a maxi dress with vertical panels in blue, grey, and black which sweep to the floor. The dress has rope straps over the shoulders and matching tie for the waist. Team with silver high heeled sandals and bracelets to clinch the WOW look.
