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!
