One advantage is you don't have to hide unwanted curves.
You can emphasize areas that other women can't. With a
tall frame, you want to work in a little curve with different
blouses, ruffles, tailored jackets, belts and other fun
trends which I have listed below.

What to wear?

Flattering Tops

  • Halters or tops with cap sleeves
  • Blouses with details like ribbing or shirring are great
    picks for any occasion. The extra detail adds an extra
    layer in necessary areas.
  • For professional attire, jackets with a nipped waist or
    a ruffled blouse accentuate the wanted curves.
  • For warm layers, go with princess cuts and double-
    breasted. Belted coats or jackets are always classy.
  • Go for jackets or coats that are ripped-at-the-hip or
    continue in length.
  • Parkas are in for the winter season. A hip line parka is
    a great choice.


No, Nos!
  • Don't wear a v-neck alone. Tight v-necks over
    elongate the body. Stick with blouses and riffles.
  • Leave plain t-shirts, camisoles and solid tanks as a
    second layer

Slimming bottoms

  • Pleated, trumpet, flared hems, a-line, poof and
    pegged skirts are all flattering. At least two or three
    of these suggests should be a signature piece in your
    closet.
  • The skinny-jean trend was invented just for your slim
    frame. Work it for all the girls that can't!
  • Almost every style of jean looks great on you. Stick
    with skinny or slightly flared. You can also wear high-
    waist cuts.



No, Nos!
  • Stray from extremely full or baggy pants. You have
    the body most trends are made for. Flaunt it!
  • Straight, boxy mini skirts.


Dresses

  • Bias cut dresses look great for cocktail and formal
    attire.
  • Halters are great for sun dresses when going to a
    wedding or baby shower.
  • Angled seams such as the elegant sari dresses. The
    angled line is so flattering and classy for evening
    occasions.
  • Dresses with detailing above or around the waist add
    femininity and flatter your straight frame. This dress
    creates more girly curves because of the full tulle
    skirt and the waistline.


No, Nos!
Throw away those tight knit dresses.

What about those swimsuits

  • For upper portion, choose halter tops in lighter
    shades or with fun ruffles.
  • To curve your waist, contrast the top piece with the
    bottom.
  • Look for prints, ruffles and other cute details that
    add curves.


No, Nos!
Fortunately, there isn't a whole lot you can't wear. You
mainly want to stay away from solid black one pieces or
bikinis.

Tall & Slim
Do you struggle with shopping
for the perfect outfit to bring out
your girly side? If you match the
profile below, you may have a tall
and slim body type:

  • You have a straight shape
    from shoulders to hips.
  • You have little to no curve
    in the waste.
  • You have long arms and
    legs.
  • You maybe thick-waisted or
    very lean and tall.
  • Your goal is to look more
    feminine.


  • The trendy thick belts
    are perfect for your
    figure. This will
    accentuate a curved
    silhouette.
  • Horizontal striped
    tops are a must have.
  • Look for detailed,
    gathered or shirred
    tops. These pieces
    add a little extra to
    the small bust-line.
  • Layer, Layer, Layer!
    Layers add curves.
    Throw on a camisole
    and then cashmere
    wrap.
  • Take advantage of
    the skinny-jean-trend.

  • Anything bias cut is
    sexy and feminine on
    a boy-shape.
