Shift Dress

Isn’t it wonderful to be tall and leggy? You get to look all Amazonian, just like a supermodel. Well, lots of tall women might disagree, because it can be difficult to find clothes to fit and suit the taller lady (although you’re sure to find something to suit on Kaleidoscope!).

We think that those of you who are lucky enough to be 5”8 and over should embrace your beautiful height. Here’s a few of our tips to maximising your loftiness and looking great whatever you wear.

Break it up: Whereas smaller women need to stick to one or two colours in their outfit to lengthen their figures, taller women don’t need this trick. This means you can break up your outfit with lots of patterns and colours, which will create lots of vibrancy and interest.

Flat fixation: Taller women have the luxury of wearing flats, even on special occasions – you don’t need to suffer in uncomfortable heels in order to look gorgeous. There are loads of fashionable flats out there, so start shopping in the knowledge that you can be comfy and stylish at the same time.

Dress up: Tall women who want to create a fuller bodyline should try smock or shift dresses. These can work really well for slim ladies over 5”8 who are worried they will look too gaunt in tighter, body-hugging clothes.
