Why Style Matters for Tall Women

Why Style Matters for Tall Women

Being tall (5'8"/173cm and above) is often considered an advantage in fashion, but fit can be frustrating:

• Trousers hit above the ankle

• Sleeves fall short

• Waistlines don’t sit where they should

• Dresses look shorter than expected

That’s why proportion and tailoring are everything — and why shopping with size precision matters.

👗 Best Clothing Styles for Tall Women (2025 Edition)

1. High-Waisted, Wide-Leg Trousers

• Show off your long legs in tailored wide-leg or palazzo styles

• High-rise waistlines balance proportion

• Great in heavier fabrics like wool or linen blends

🔗 Pair with: Fitted top or tucked-in blouse to define the waist

2. Midi and Maxi Dresses

• Long limbs + long lines = elegance

• Go for bias-cut or wrap styles to flatter naturally

• Choose prints or block colours for versatility

🔗 Avoid: Mini dresses that ride too high or lack structure

3. Oversized Shirts and Structured Blazers

• Embrace your frame with slightly oversized cuts

• Drop shoulders and long cuffs look intentional (not short)

• Longline blazers add structure and height without bulk

🔗 Style tip: Roll cuffs or push up sleeves if arm length is hard to find

4. Cropped Tops and Jackets

• Great for creating shape and breaking up height

• Helps to define the waist and add visual interest

• Ideal with high-waisted jeans or trousers

🔗 Proportion tip: Cropped jackets pair best with full-length trousers

5. Jumpsuits and Co-ords

• Easy, one-and-done outfits

• Elongate your silhouette beautifully

• Look for adjustable waists and long inseams

🔗 Fit alert: Use tellar.co.uk to find jumpsuits that match your torso and leg length

6. Longline Coats and Trench Coats

• Mid-calf or ankle-length styles suit taller frames best

• Belted styles add shape and definition

• Structured shoulders balance the look

🔗 Avoid: Cropped outerwear that can cut your body in half awkwardly

7. Straight-Leg or Relaxed Jeans

• Slim or straight cuts show off length without overwhelming

• Choose raw hems or full inseams that actually reach your ankle

• Avoid low-rise styles that flatten your proportions

🔗 Use Tellar to check inseam availability by brand before buying

8. Tailored Skirts

• Midi pencil, A-line, or wrap styles create flattering lines

• Slits elongate the leg even more

• Great for office, dinner or weekend wear

🔗 Style idea: Midi skirt + silk blouse + loafers or ankle boots
