How To Dress If You're a Tall Woman

Wear kitten heels, which are slim heels one and a half inches to two inches tall; they make legs look better than flats. Avoid chunky shoes with thick heels.

Tuck shirts into pants to create a visual break between your legs and your torso. Tucking pants into boots also looks good on tall women.

Wear skirts that end above or at the knee. If you like a longer skirt, choose one that’s flared to prevent a stick-straight vertical line. A-line dresses work for the same reason. If you wear a pencil skirt, team it with a blouse in a contrasting color.

If you have a long torso, shorten it with high-waisted trousers. If you’ve got long, toned legs, show them off in skinny jeans.

Use big prints and bright colors to your advantage: Wear them on top to distract from a bigger bottom half; wear them below to downplay a generous bosom.
