Dressing for party season as a tall girl

Party season is upon us. And that can only mean one thing - Christmas party outfits. It's that time of year when everyone wears sequins, fur (most likely faux) and short skirts. And short skirts as a tall girl can be tricky (but that doesn’t mean they can’t be rocked...I’ll come onto that later). If you've got a Christmas party to go to, need an outfit to wear and you're over 5'8 - then this post is for you. Here is your guide to dressing for Christmas party season as a tall girl. 

There is one item in my wardrobe that I swear by. And that is a Black Jumpsuit. Wear it to work, or jazz it up with accessories and heels for a night out. A solid black jumpsuit does wonders to accentuate a tall frame. No-one pulls off a jumpsuit better than a tall girl, as they do a great job of highlighting long legs and creating a good silhouette to show off your natural curves (especially if it's a waist clinching jumpsuit).

I'm wearing a black cutout jumpsuit from Missguided, which I recently bought for the 2021 party season.

This time of year is called Sparkle Season for a reason. Luckily, as tall girls we can get away with wearing quite loud patterns and prints. As contrasting colours on the top and bottom often break up our height. This includes sparkles. A sparkly top and black on the bottom half (or vice versa) is a match made in heaven for a tall girl. Don't be afraid to go loud, bold and sparkly.

Earlier I mentioned the power of a waist clinching jumpsuit. Anything with a Waist Clincher is designed to make you looked snatcheddddd a.k.a add shape around your waist. I'm a sucker for a high waisted outfit or a bandage bodycon dress - both elongate your legs and pull in your waist to make you appear snatcheddddd  - if you are aiming for an hourglass shape this will definitely go a long way.

If you're tall, you've probably got sensational legs, so there's no excuse not to get your legs out. It doesn't have to be a short skirt, in fact a Thigh Split skirt or dress can show off a great pair of legs.

And finally, if you can’t resist a short skirt (because I definitely can’t) but you're worried about it looking short, then an Ankle Strap Heel will be your new favourite #tallgirlhack. The pair I'm wearing are from Just Fab and are the perfect example of Ankle strap heels 🤝short skirts. The strap on the heel gives the illusion of long legs.
