Dressing well as a tall person doesn’t just stop once you buy the right clothes. For tall women and men, dressing well can be an equally dubious challenge.
It isn’t just about looking put together. A lot of taller people who struggle to find clothes that fit have a hard time feeling comfortable in their outfits, and find it challenging to define their own personal style when their choices are limited by mass-market availability. Fortunately, when you’re able to find a store that supplies a wide variety of tall women’s clothing, or even extra tall men’s clothing, it gets a lot easier.
Today, we’ll talk about one of our favorite tricks to adding more style and flair to an outfit. Layering is a useful fashion skill that seems easy to do but can be pretty tricky to get right. By investing in great base pieces, then playing around with how you wear them and pair them, you can create an interesting and versatile wardrobe without spending a ton of money.
Let’s delve into this fun, sophisticated, and environmentally friendly fashion skill.
Getting Better at Layering
Layering doesn’t just mean throwing on any random collection of clothing and calling it a day.
Especially when you’re tall, you need to be careful about the proportions of every piece you’re wearing, and how they interact with each other. For example, don’t pair a slouchy pair of pants with an even slouchier shirt. That’s a quick way to look sloppy.
Layering also won’t cover up clothing that doesn’t fit correctly. Too many people try to throw on a hoodie or long-sleeved shirt, hoping to cover up a t-shirt that’s too tight in the armpits or too short at the waist. Layering isn’t a substitute for well-fitting clothing. When it’s done right, it highlights everything you have on.
To ensure that your clothes fit correctly and work well together, try some of our favorite layering pieces from American Tall.
