Dress Your Body Type: Tall & Slim
Celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes and Heidi Klum are women to imitate when it comes to dressing a tall and slim figure.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fortunately, there isn't a whole lot you can't wear. You mainly want to stay away from solid black one pieces or bikinis.
