tips for tall and thin girls



So many girls dream of being as tall and thin as catwalk models.
They admire them, envy them, think that nature favored them with such figures absolutely undeserved.

Probably girls of this shape really look well but in many cases they have to work hard to have the body that is a dream of millions.

And skinny girls know for sure that not all garments look well on them and they must choose carefully to avoid too long and lean look.

For the girls who are the type described these tips maybe helpful in the process of selecting clothes.
Things to remember:
1. Dress in layers, they add interest and disguise thinness.
2. Avoid wearing bare, short and clinging clothes.
3. Create the illusion of fullness and softness. In summer when your thinness is the most seen wear soft, fluffy fabrics.

4. Beware of garments with vertical stripes and patterns, for you will look even thinner than you are.
5. Prefer wearing horizontally striped designs and patterns.
6. Try to avoid wearing solid color even if it is your favorite.
7. Long and sharp necklines are not for you.

8. Keep the very skinny parts under wraps. Cover your throat with a scarf, choker, high cowl neck or long hair. But steer clear of prissy bows and ruffles.
9. Prefer suits to dresses or attires including skirts and blouses or sweaters. If you choose to wear a dress pay attention to the one with horizontal stripes, seams, etc.
10. Avoid very wide skirts in plenty of pleats and gathers. You’ll look scruffy and old-fashioned. Choose more modern flared designs, skirts with accordion pleats, etc.
11. Minimize use of padding on your shoulders.
12. Don’t wear heels. If you do, select shorter ones.
Prefer boots as they camouflage skinny legs under skirts.
13. Don’t wear heavy shoes. They’ll make your legs look even thinner.

with the tips listed above we hope you’ll experience less difficulty in choosing your outwear!

Wow, don't wear heels?? I am a fashion model and I love being tall. Don't try to hide your height, wear as many heels as you would like,as many inches as you would like.Embrace your height as well as your weight,if its natural.Obviously its really hard for me to understand why anyone would hate being tall and thin, as long as your healthy.Its a coveted body type and you should learn to love it.

As a tall skinny girl myself, I thought reading this blog about fashion was going to teach me how to best accessorize my body... but after reading this, I see that all you have told me (and other tall, skinny girls) to do is to HIDE under fashion. This blog has not succeeded in helping me to feel any better about myself, rather, it has made me feel like my body is flawed and should be hidden. Thank you though, for you've inspired me to write a more accurate blog to girls inspiring them to embrace what they've been given and flatter it with clothes that look good on their body type.

I.actually found this rather helpful. i myself am a model and a runner. i have always been skinny i do yoga and am on a.large caloried diet. i am healthy but still loom really thin. a lot of people always act so surprised amd always tell me "you're so skinny or you're tok skinny eat more"
To avoid that i ate more but my metabolism burned everything off.
i like being healthy but.i do get self conscious when people point out how skinny i am so i would like to appear a bit curvier myself. i found this helpful even if others were too quick to judge instead of lookinng at it in a different angle.
