Fashion Ideas for Tall Women

By A Mystery Man Writer

Standing at 6'1", Karlie Kloss is every tall girl's inspiration. Have you ever wished there was a "long-limbed" section at your favorite store? If you're 5'7" or above, we'd be willing to bet that the thought has crossed your mind. True, some brands have embraced tall sizes for clothing categories like jeans—Topshop and ASOS, for example—the fact is that shopping for items that suit a tall frame can be a real challenge. On the other hand, it does have some benefits. To all you tall girls out there: We get you. We really do. 1. You Have Learned to Love Your Ankles: You love a cropped pair of trousers as much as the next girl, but let's face it: The majority of your pants are ankle-length. Clamdiggers? Forget about it. They're practically short shorts when you're super tall. The good news is that cropped pants look seriously cute with loafers or ballet flats. (Thanks for the inspo, Audrey!) 2. You're a Master of Proportion Problems: Pants aren't the only items that come up short: Sleeves often look doll-size, and shirts sometimes can't even be tucked in. Then there are the midi skirts that fall at the knee, rather than midcalf.
