Avoid capri pants. They’ll hit your calf at an odd spot and it will look like your pants shrunk in the dryer. Tall women can pull off flares or wide-legged styles, too. Just make sure your pants are the right length. Remember that you can always buy pants that are too long and then take them to a tailor for adjustments.
Start out with a shorter kitten heel if you don’t feel comfortable with full-on high heels. A tall woman in heels appears confident, proud, and sexy.
Tucking in your shirt can also give the same effect.
Be aware that dressing all in one color (monochromatic) can make you look longer.
Look for 3/4 length sleeves or create them by rolling up sleeves that are just a little too short. You might also try checking the men’s department. You may find shirts that fit you better and you can also go for a “boyfriend” shirt look.
A pencil skirt can make your legs look even longer, which is great if you have a long torso and shorter legs. Otherwise, pair a pencil skirt with a top in a contrasting color to keep your proportions balanced. The most flattering skirt length on many people is usually just above, even with, or just below the knee.
Try taking your measurements or ask a friend to help you do so. Measure your waist, hips, bust, and the inseam of your pants from crotch to ankle.
For example, if you have dress that is a bit too loose around the waist, take it to your tailor for a fitting. If you have a pair of pants that bunch up around your ankles, see if your tailor can shorten them for you.
