Q&A for How to Dress Well As a Tall Girl

Embrace it! Do not feel insecure even though it’s very tempting too. There is nothing you can do about your height. If you want to gain weight, make sure you eat plenty of healthy fats and do muscle building exercises. When choosing clothes, waist cinching styles will help give you the illusion of curves.

Absolutely! Loads of people would kill to be very slender. Show it off!

High-waisted jeans look good on everyone. Loose tops will help, and you can tuck them in if you think it looks good that way. Crop tops are also cute, especially if they just go over the top of your high-waisted jeans. Experiment and see what you think looks good on you.

High-waisted trousers are the best - especially skinny jeans. Pair them with a loose, flowy shirt. Also, culottes and palazzo pants are loose, so they make you appear shorter, and they are very trendy right now.

You have to try on all different kinds of clothes to find the ones that you enjoy wearing the most! Finding your style can be a fun process of elimination, although it might take awhile to figure it out completely.

You can if you want. There's nothing wrong with being taller than everyone else in the room! However, don't feel like you're expected to wear heels. If it's something you want to do, go for it. The good thing with being tall is that it isn't necessary.

Sure! Pair them with a flowy/oversized top/shirt. You may add a cool blazer/long jacket as well. Long chains or a cool sling bag would be good accessories.

Make sure your clothes are well fitted. Any outfit looks better when it fits well.

Of course! Anyone can look good in braids, especially kids.

Wear long shirts with leggings or dresses that graze just above the knee. This will visually cut off your legs and make you look a bit shorter.

American Eagle, Gap, Levi's, Express, Loft, ASOS, Topshop, and Old Navy all carry different lengths and sizes.

Yes. Your height doesn't matter as long as you like the way the top looks on you.

Of course you can. You can wear whatever you want, and if you're more comfortable in flats, you should wear them.

Go with the style that you like. If you feel comfortable in it and confident and you like it, do it.

The best way to look less thin is by wearing clothes that are not too short, but also not so long as to look baggy. It is also good to wear clothes with horizontal patterns.

You need to find out what your proportions are. Are you long in the body or leg? If your legs are long and your torso is average length, then most dresses will look good - but you need to make sure they aren’t too short for formal wear or they will look a little tacky. If your length is in your body (like me and a lot of other tall girls!), then you need to make sure the waist of the dress hits you on your waist or it will be unflattering.

Yes you can wear these. Just make sure they're well fitted around the waist and tidy around the base.

Choose dresses that emphasize the waistline to create the illusion of wider hips. High-neck and long-sleeve mini dresses will show off your legs while adding volume to your torso area. Play with exaggerated fabrics, silhouettes, and prints as they won't overwhelm your slim frame.

Wear either a mini skirt or a maxi. If you want to show off those legs, go with a mini. If you want to feel a bit shorter, try a long skirt with flat shoes.

I would say to maybe not go for a suit (a blazer would look really cute though) unless it is for work reasons. But, if you do have to wear a suit, I would say to get one with shoulder pads because I'm assuming you are slim too, so that makes your shoulders look way too bulky. Also, wearing a pair of heels with it would look really cute too.

You can choose to embrace it and wear skinny, and/or high waisted jeans. But if you would rather go for a larger look, you can wear straight legged or boot-cut pants. Always remember to wear what makes you confident, and you don't need to wear what people tell you to.

A tall frame is long enough to pull off patterns without being overwhelmed. Mix things up on your top and bottom half--so a patterned shirt with black pants, or different colored tops and bottoms--to break up your height. Be aware that dressing all in one color (monochromatic) can make you look longer.

Learn to embrace that you are tall and be proud of it as you are not going to be getting any shorter. It is not bad to feel embarrassed, but feeling that way won't help anyone. It is important to love yourself, and wear things that flatter your appearance so that you don't feel embarrassed anymore.

Maybe try asking your friends and relatives if you know they can sew well and ask them to make something for you or to fix existing clothing. Keep trying this and eventually you will find someone willing to help, and the cost will be low. However, if you can't find someone, consider learning to sew and then you can make and fix them yourself. Also, visit charity stores and outlet stores for bargain dresses of good length and coverage.

Make yourself look and feel confident. Keep your shoulders back and chin up. Embrace your height and experiment with the things height can be helpful with like sports for example. Wear clothes that make you feel and look good. If you have long legs, crop tops and high-waisted jeans look great. If you have a bit of a longer torso, high-waisted jeans cane make it seem a bit shorter. Tuck in longer t-shirts for a shorter appeal. Remember, tall girls are amazing and very beautiful.

Wear wrap dresses with small/modest prints or neutral colors, neutral and jewel toned tops, classic styles, such as a slim or A-line skirt that hits below your knees, and ballet flats/1" pumps, or ankle boots with tights. Avoid suit jackets, button-up tops, and cardigans at work, and tuck in your shirts if you can. For casual wear, a nice t-shirt or sweater with well fit jeans looks nice. Most important is that everything fits well!

Make the most of your long figure. Try some dresses and skirts that emphasize your curves while shining some light onto your beautiful, long legs.

I am 5'10 and 14 as well. I understand how hard it can be to find pants that fit especially if you're skinny and tall. If you live in Canada there is a store called "Long Tall Sally." They have some really nice stuff but it is a little expensive. Also, for jeans, American Eagle has been the best store for me. I don't fit "tall' sizes in a lot of stores but I fit into the AE regular skinny jeans, so try that out! If you're more of a sweatpants type of gal you should try the Roots Original Salt and Pepper tall sweats.
