Women's Dress Shoes for Tall Women: Dos and Don'ts
By Kimi

Many taller women wear high heels that make them tower over
the crowd and ultimately cause them to stand out even more.
There are, however, perfect shoes for every height.
Kitten heels are one alternative to the average skyscraper
heel found under most dresses. Kitten heels can range from half
an inch to a full inch. These heels allow for taller women to
wear a feminine style heel without adding inches of height.
Other types of women's
dress shoes that are flattering to the statuesque
physique are flats. Flats have very small to no heels
and are often extremely comfortable. Contrary to popular
belief, flats can also come in dressier styles to wear with all
types skirts, dresses, and slacks.
The best part of both kitten heels and flats is that after
wearing them with an evening outfit, both look excellent with a
pair of jeans. Heels can contribute to the high-water effect of
jeans that are way too short. Finding long enough pants is a dilemma
tall women continually face. This is why small heels can be
worn with jeans and other pants without making them look way to
short. With long legs, as often found on tall women, shoes with
rounded toes look especially stylish without adding any length
to the foot or leg. For the opposite effect, pointed or
elongated shoes only add length to those long legs, and end up
looking elfish.
Tall women should not add to their height with 4-inch heels
but compliment their height with lower heeled yet feminine
footwear. This way, they can walk tall and confident instead of
self-conscious and hunched over.
