8. Black Leather
Pumps are so versatile as you can wear them to work or a
wedding. Many tall women have larger feet and pointy
shoes only accentuate the shoe size, so I would avoid shoes
that are too pointy shoes, but rather choose a slightly rounded
toe instead. A one to two inch heel is the perfect heel height
for a tall woman.
9. A Pair of
Stunning Shoes - What I mean by stunning shoes is one that
will turn heads. These are usually sexy with a small heel
and are dressy shoes. These can be bright colored, shiny,
fabric printed, whatever you like. Have fun with these
shoes without going overboard as you want it to match most of
your neutral colors, but add a touch of your personality.
10. Black Dress- A
little black dress is sometimes hard to find for a tall
woman. I recommend you buy a quality little black dress
with a length slightly above the knee or slightly
below. This is a basic dress, not overly sexy.
The accessories you wear with the dress will really change the
whole look of it. Layer a cardigan over it, or wear alone
with silver jewelry or pearls. Have fun with this dress,
but find one made from a quality material with short sleeves or
without sleeves.
11. A Nice Skirt - This
skirt should be fun and can easily be worn with most of your
sweaters or tops. You might try one with a bit of
stretch. Choose one that flatters your figure like a pencil
skirt, a longer straight skirt or one with a bit of flounce at
the bottom. The style of this skirt is up to your
own interpretation of one you love.
12. Trendy
Jacket - Tall women, please invest in a great trendy jacket
that you love. This might be your splurge item.
Find one that you can envision wearing often. This should
fit your body shape well. For a tall woman, you want the
length to hit you either at your hip or slightly below your
waist. If it is too short, it will make you look
disproportioned. This jacket can be made of denim, wool,
leather or whatever else you desire. Just make sure it
fits well, and the fabric keeps it's shape easily. Also
choose a jacket that can easily be worn with sweaters,
shells, layering t-shirts or blouses and with the right top
underneath you can wear it to work or casual occasions.
13. Dressy Evening Top or
Shell - Every woman needs a dressy evening top that
you can wear alone or under a jacket or blazer. We
recommend one with short sleeves as you will get more mileage
out of it. This dressy evening top can be worn to weddings,
social occasions, business meetings and more.
14. Dressy
Coat - Every woman needs a dressy coat. I recommend a
long wool coat hitting your hip to mid thigh if you can find
them. I know sometimes tall sizes are limited, but a
longer length coat will really make you look professional and
can be worn with just about anything in your
wardrobe. Solid colors are always more versatile as
this item will be with you for many years.
15. Trench Coat- A
trench coat is a great idea for every tall woman. This
will be your go to jacket for business travel, the office or
for pleasure. This jacket should be waterproof as you
will slip it on during rainy weather, but not be too hot as you
will want this jacket year round.
16. Large Purse-
Tall Women look much better with a big purse as a small
purse will draw attention to your size. I recommend
a nice leather purse in a darker color such as black as it will
go with most of your basic items. If you prefer get one
with some nice details like an embossed leather print, nail
head tacks, or big pockets with metal buckles.
17. Large
Accessories- After you get the basics, have fun getting
some great accessories. Remember that larger is
better. Big silver hoops, a long strand of pearls that can
looped several times, a long necklaces and beautiful scarves
are some suggestions to mix and match in your wardrobe and make
it more fun.
As your budget allows and after you have
purchased the basic items, add some fun blouses, t-shirts and
sweaters that you love. Add one new item each season
that is trendy and goes well with your basic items. Don't
spend a lot of money on these items as these will be the items
that change frequently with the trends!
