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.

Creation L Tailored Suit

Many of us have our work outfits chosen for us – for example, if you’re a police officer or a nurse. But the rest of us have to work out what to wear to the office (or the classroom, or the shop, or the clinic…) on a daily basis.

It can be quite difficult deciding what to wear for work; there are quite a few things to take into consideration. Firstly, your colleagues are going to see you on a daily basis, so can you wear the same outfit twice in one week, or even two days running?

Secondly, and more importantly, should you dress up for work? Dress down Fridays aside, the line between smart and casual wear has become somewhat blurred in many organisations. It’s not like in the old days, when ladies wore smart pencil skirts, jackets and heels to work for fear of the sack if they turned up in anything else. These days, many organisations let you wear jeans to work, or at least the unofficial uniform of most British women – black work trousers, flat shoes and a jumper.

We think that it’s actually rather nice to dress up for work. Feeling smart makes you ready for business and what’s more, if you look smart and professional, your colleagues, clients or patients are more likely to take you seriously. Why not experiment with smart dressing at work this week? This Creation L Tailored Suit should get you off to a fine start – it’s comfy, yet stylish and smart at the same time.
