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.
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 towork 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.
