Dressing up when you're tall, tips that balance out

You are very tall, and you have a hard time with it. Dress according to your body type? If shrinking is impossible, the optical illusion can erase a few centimeters from your silhouette. Avoid monochrome sets and play with contrasts. White pants and black top, red skirt and blue jumper… tips? Belts, basques, ruffles, horizontal stripes and other effects to cut the silhouette. Opt for flat heels and round toes, as well as jackets that cover the hips. Also favor high and round collars, so as not to lengthen the neck.

Dressing up when you're tall, tips that highlight

You're tall, so what? The lengths are up to you! If you play without complex on your size, opt for long coats and maxi dresses. Beware, simply of the too short effect:when you are tall, a short jacket or a three-quarter sleeve can quickly pass for a garment that is too tight. A tip to remember, German, American or Canadian brands use larger size standards than French, Italian, Spanish or Asian. Once you've mastered the effect, you're in for slender fashion.
