Clothes For Tall Women

This silk geometrical maxi-dress from Savana - Oli  - £140 is 137cm (54″) long which is which isn’t exactly maxi if you are 6 ft (need approx 174cm - 68″), infact there is a difference of 37cm it comes just below my knee.  I’m not particularly long in the body its all in my legs so I don’t have the problem of the bodice of the dress not fitting (unless the cut is particularly small).  This becomes a different style -’ a just below the knee dress’ but still elegant as the silk gives it a nice drape.  As the band comes under the bust rather than the waist, its not high-lighting the waist area.  However, I urge you to try for yourself and think outside the box and experiment with different dresses and fabrics.

Linen trousers are indispensible in summer for keeping you cool. You can dress them up and down.  They are smart enough for the office or out of work hours.  If you don’t like the way linen creases look out for trousers with a linen-mix (i.e with viscose).  Next - Tall Range also have a selection of linen trousers.

I love the versatility of tunic tops, they can be worn at the beach or over jeans or linen trousers.  This gorgette printed tunic is £25 from Oli
