Few high street shops cater for the taller female, and if they do, the outfits they stock are often unflattering and unfeminine.Indeed, many taller women feel the need to choose clothing that does not quite fit, as it is simply impossible to find clothes of the ideal size.
However, many online retailers specialise in beautiful tall women's clothing - meaning there is no need to compromise in this way any more. What's more, you can add to your wardrobe and vary outfits for different occasions with the careful use of a few accessories.
It is a common complaint that clothes made for tall women do not flatter the more svelte frame. While shopping at a specialist store - either online or on the high street - purchase flattering clothing, which can be customised with accessories such as belts.
For example, a chunky belt will accentuate your curves, especially if it is a completely different colour from your main outfit. The belt will also draw the eye to your waist, making the most of your figure.
Combining a plunging neckline with an oversized necklace is ideal for a night out on the town. However, the same type of jewellery can also complement a classical cocktail dress if you are attending a dinner party.
You can add a touch of glamour to a simple trouser suit with a beautiful brooch. Just remember that, when it comes to jewellery, less is often more. You shouldn't combine a large brooch with an oversized necklace - a simple chain will still draw attention your neck, an area that many tall women count as their best feature.
Those with a tall, slim frame can easily pull off wearing horizontal stripes. These will make the figure appear fuller - ideal if you are looking to add to your bust, without resorting to surgery.
Finally, you can continue to accessorize in the colder months. For example, you should choose a black scarf to go with a white top, as these simple contrasts will really make the most of your striking frame.
Of course, there are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to fashion. While you should never compromise on quality when looking for tall women's clothing, what you choose to go with your outfit is defined as much by personal taste as by the advice above.
If you are happy with your clothes and accessories then you will feel good and look good.
