How to make the most of tall and slim figure

Many people might think that being tall and slim is the perfect combination. However, this may not always be so. Not only do women with such bodies have to work hard to maintain them, they also have to work hard to make sure that the clothes they wear suit them. Not all styles of clothing can be worn by women who are tall and slim and so they have to be careful about the way they dress. Here are some tips for tall and slim women so that they can pull off different styles of clothing by not emphasizing the shape and size of their bodies too much.

One of things they can do is dress in layers. Layers always add interesting textures and sizes and they also serve the purpose of covering up the body in layers and disguising the thinness. In this manner, you do not always have to outline your slim shape by wearing only one layer of clothing.

If you do not want your slim legs and arms to be exposed, then the ideal thing would be to cover them up in a clever manner. Short clothes and clothes that cling should be avoided because they are likely to outline or expose your body shape. Very slightly loose clothing or clothing that covers your legs and arms should be worn to reduce the skinny look.

Summers always outline your body shape and size. If you want to look fuller in the summers, then a very easy technique can be adopted to do so. Wear softer fabrics that are fluffy and even one layer of such clothing will suffice. In this manner, you will not have to add extra layers of clothing.

If you are tall and slim, do not wear clothes that have vertical stripes on them because they will create the illusion of thinness and of height and so you might even end up appearing thinner than you actually are. For that reason, if you do wish to wear clothing with stripes, go with garments that have horizontal patterns or stripes.

Very solid colors should be avoided because, again, they highlight your figure. Choose clothing with shorter necklines because the more you expose your skin, the more your leanness is likely to show. Therefore, avoid necklines that are long and sharp.

If you wish to wear a cheap homecoming dress, be very particular about the patterns on it since, again, they will highlight your figure. If you can, go with suits or skirts and blouses. Wear clothing that involves two pieces instead of one. They add extra clothing and do not make you appear as thin. If you do want to wear a skirt, do not go with those that have a lot of ruffles or pleats because they will not suit your lean figure. Flared skirts will look better since they conform to your body and also add slight fluffiness to your overall look. When you get dressed, regardless of what you are wearing, make sure that you do not add padding to your shoulders. If you are thin, you do not want to look too broad and so make sure that you avoid the padding.

You have the benefit of height. Since you are tall, you do not need to wear heels. If you do wish to wear heels, avoid ones that are too high and try to choose very short heels or flat shoes. With regards to shoes, boots are ideal because they cover up your legs if you are wearing a skirt or a dress. However, make sure that the shoes you wear are not very heavy since they will make your legs look skinnier.

Therefore, if you are tall and slim, keeps these tips in mind when dressing. Cover your skinny parts and wrap a scarf around your neck or cover it with your hair so that your thin neck and shoulder area is not highlighted.
