My tall styling chat as seen on Little Mistress!
What are your top tips for styling tall looks?
Flaunt your best features. My legs are 36” long and it took me a long time to realise that they were an asset not a disadvantage.
Know you measurements. When buying online always check against the measurements of the models wearing the garments you like. If the model is 5ft 5” and its short on them, don’t buy it!
What are you go-to summer staples when it comes to styling a tall figure?
I love floaty summer dresses, like the maxis at Paper Dolls. Comfortable, loose in the warm weather and classy. I’m obsessed with anklets in the summer and am usually wearing white nail varnish and my bikini is always within reach in case the sun decides to come out!
Which three things could you not live without during the summer season?
Bikinis, sundresses and white nail varnish
When it comes to high heels, what are the rules for tall fashionista’s?
Wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing. If you wear heels then stand tall, push your shoulders back and be confident and proud of your height. What are your tall collections styling don’ts’?
Short shorts
Mini skirts
5+ inch heels
Vertical stripes
Shoulder pads
Cropped items, I’ve bought some cropped tops which didnt even cover my bra!
Check before you buy that they will be long enough, that goes for dresses and skirts too. Standard lengths often leave my derriere exposed!
If you could raid anyone’s wardrobe, whose would it be?
Kate Middleton. She is so classy and always gets it right!
Which of our tall collection pieces are on your summer wish-list? All of them!
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given for styling a tall figure?
Don’t listen to men when they tell you not to wear heels, wear what you want to wear!
Which swimwear styles work best for tall fashionista’s?
That depends on what you feel comfortable with. Generally speaking normal length one-pieces aren’t long enough on me so I tend to go for bikinis
What song is top of your summer iPod playlist?
Shake it off – Taylor Swift – I love her!
