Tall Men: Please Wear Long Shorts!

I am on a quest to stop all tall men from wearing short shorts. Tom Selleck looked "hot" in his short shorts during Magnum P.I., but that was in the "80s". We have moved beyond that now. For tall men, anything shorter than a 10" inseam makes your legs look ridiculous. They exaggerate your leg length and make you have "bird legs". You need to keep everything in proportion including your shorts. Today I came across several pairs of Volcom longer length shorts for men with 11.5" -12.5" inseams.

Diary of a Tall Fashionista: Tall Leggings for Tall Ladies

By Tiffany DeLangie - Tall Fashion Writer for Tall Clothing Mall

You know you’re getting old when trends you wore as a tween become trendy again. And so it begins. I remember looking at pictures of my mom in bell bottoms and saying “I’ll never wear those.” In her infinite wisdom my mom chided, “Never say never.” Shortly thereafter, I bought my first pair of bell bottoms. I didn’t so much care about the bell bottom; I was more in love with the fact that they actually covered my ankle. Well so the story goes with leggings. I remember wearing them when I was about 10…and I loved them. And now I’m…well not 10, and I love them again. True, it’s trickier wearing them now than when I had toothpicks for legs and absolutely no derriere. But still, it’s doable.

If you think you can’t wear leggings because you’re too tall or too not-the-Olsen-twins, think again. With a few simple tips you’ll look fabulous and cutting edge. First, as tall ladies the most important thing is to find tall leggings that are the right length. I love cropped pants as much as the next sister, but don’t try to pass off ‘normal’ leggings (and by that I mean those made for the average woman) as cropped. If you’re going to wear cropped go all the way! If not, finding the perfect pair of tall leggings is just a click away. As long as the leggings reach your ankle, you’re golden. During winter you may be tempted to buy ‘normal’ leggings to wear with tall or slouchy boots, but winter is almost over and I promise if you invest in a pair of fabulous, quality, tall leggings, you’ll be thrilled when Spring and Summer arrive and you can wear your tall leggings with ballet flats and sandals. So, say it with me, “I will not settle for ‘average.’ I am not average and shun the insinuation. I will purchase tall leggings and I will love them.” I hate to resort to borderline hypnosis but rule #1 is very important.

Secondly, don’t be overwhelmed at the thought of wearing tall leggings. You don’t have to go out and buy an entirely new wardrobe to make them work. One of the easiest ways to wear tall leggings is simply to wear them as you would tights. You may be thinking “Why don’t I just wear tights?” The answer is because tights are expected. Remember we are not average! So boost the cool factor by mixing in an unexpected item in your ensemble. The other great thing about tall leggings is they extend your wardrobe and allow you to wear pieces that you typically couldn’t. For instance, when you find that cute little sheath dress on the clearance rack and lament because it’s too short to wear in real life, now you can throw it over a pair of tall leggings and be done with it! I have many of those dresses, most of which I paid next to nothing for and they make a simple, yet stylish outfit paired with tall leggings. Tunic length shirts, blouses, and tops are all over the place right now and also do the trick, which leads me to my next point.

Let’s keep it clean and classy. If you are a tiny dancer (not in an Elton John way, but in a “that girl must be a dancer because I could bounce a quarter off of her…” way) or a celebrity, you can wear tall leggings with anything and get away with it. As for the other 99% of us, I suggest covering any unsightly lumps, bumps, and dimples (sorry to be so graphic, but I gotta keep it real) with a sheath dress, a tunic top, or a long jacket. You can find these items in tall sizes at just a click away. If you are daring, try tall liquid leggings (also called leather leggings) with a tunic length mens’ shirt and sneakers, ankle boots, or heels--a perfect marriage of edge and class.

Whatever you choose to pair with your tall leggings, I hope you’re inspired to find the perfect pair of tall leggings that suit your style, shape, and budget.

Get in Shape at Home with Incredible New Product - The Gymbox

I am not one to endorse a whole lot of products that are not related to tall clothing, but I have to let you in on this great new product that makes working out at home fun. It is called The Gymbox and was developed by my friends Ryan and Megan Robinson. After having a new baby, Megan found it hard to go to the gym. She wanted to be able to work out at home.

After using several DVD's she got bored and wanted more variety. They came up with the idea of The Gymbox which is similar to video on demand. The concept is that by plugging The Gymbox into your television (just like a DVD player) and connecting it to your broadband internet (just like a laptop) you can get access to hundreds of hours of gym-style fitness classes that you can do right in your own living room. The best part is, the classes are updated weekly so you never have to repeat the same class twice (unless you want to) and they are all available on demand. My sister-in-law has been testing the product out for the last year and has lost 40 pounds! This is the newest and greatest product for getting in shape at home!

Right now they are holding an invitation only pre-launch where you have amazing discounts on the service. You can even try it out for 30 days without any risk just to make sure you like it. Plus, they are having a drawing for a trip for two to Hawaii for the first 500 subscribers. You may never go the gym again when you can work out at home.

See how it works by watching the video below.

Wasn't that cool? I can't wait to get my hands on my new called Gymbox. For more info visit The Gymbox.com.
