We stumbled upon this article on about.com that gives us glamazon’s ten styling tips to work our gorgeous tallness. We personally can relate to many of these and would love to know what you all think! Here is a brief summary of the article which can be found here:

1. Wear Beautiful Shoes
This is a no brainer since everyone’s eyes automatically go straight to our feet to see if our height can be attributed to wearing huge heels. We like to call it the “look up”…all you tall women have experienced this. People look straight to your feet and continue up your body to your face. This move from onlookers has become a part of our daily life that we love to laugh at, so why not wear amazing shoes and really give them something to look at/talk about!
2. Dont Fear Heels
This goes along with number one. If you are already tall, why not just wear heels to really get people’s attention. There is no written rule saying just because we are tall we have to wear flats. Own it girls and be proud of your height!
3. Use Oversized Accessories
Since our bodies are taller we can get away with larger accessories without looking ridiculous or having the item overwhelm our bodies. We personally love big earrings and handbags, what do you guys love?
4. Show Some Skin
Show off your tall beautiful body, while being classy ladies. Pick a body part to feature (legs, arms, neck, décolleté, ect…) and work it, just make sure to pick one body part and not all at once.
5. Highlight Your Neck
We love this one! Lynn and I both are known for wearing our hair in buns or pulled back in high ponytails and really emphasizing our necks. Try pairing this look with a fun pair of earrings…you will get lots of compliments I promise!
6. Pair narrow With Wide
Either wear a larger wide top or jacket with skinny jeans or leggings, or try a fitted shirt with a wide leg pant or trouser…super sophisticated.
7. Think Bright
Add a pop of color to your outfit. Choose one piece to make a colorful statement…a bag, scarf, or even belt and have some fun. Just make sure your entire outfit is not multicolored!
8. Be Minimalist
We already draw alot of attention just for being tall, so lets not mix too many different trends/looks together all at once. Remember, sometimes less really is more.
9. Play With Your Hair
If you have a look you have always wanted to try with your hair but worried you were too tall to pull off, go for it…it is only hair and will eventually grow back.
10. Be a Drama Queen
As a makeup artist, I LOVE this one. Pick a feature and really play it up. Rock a colorful or smokey eye, or go for that bold dramatic lip. We already get attention for our glorious height, why not add a touch of drama to our makeup to really make a statement!
