Tall Boyfriend Jeans

Diary of a Tall Fashionista: Must have for tall women- Tall Boyfriend Jeans
by Tiffany DeLangie- fashion writer for Tall Clothing Mall

As a fashionista, I pride myself on noticing upcoming trends before they are…well trendy. But I must say, until I was seeing them everywhere, it never occurred to me to address the boyfriend jean. I myself like fitted jeans. Loose jeans give me flashbacks to my tomboy days, when I wore insanely baggy jeans that completely enveloped my long, lanky frame and made me appear even taller and skinnier than I already was. While that may sound like a good thing, in high school, the goal was to fit in, not stand out as freakishly tall. As if that’s not enough the baggy jeans trend also reminds me of a time I was forced to wear men’s jeans since finding women’s jeans that were long enough proved to be impossible. Ok, sorry to drag you into my pathetic “wonder years;” back to the trend at hand. I must say despite my unfavorable memories, the boyfriend jean trend is completely growing on me. Why? I’m glad you asked.

Boyfriend jeans give that “I-just-threw-these-on-but-don’t-I-look-stylish-and-chic-without-even-trying?” look that we all desperately crave and ironically spend tons of time and effort trying to achieve. (Ok maybe not all of us but us authentic fashionistas can admit that at the very least, we have those moments). There’s nothing better than a simple garment that does most of the work for you. It makes it easy to figure out the rest of your look-- be it casual or sexy or cool. I also love that boyfriend jeans look kind of tough. Those I love the most are cuffed and therefore still show some skin but look adorable with sneakers or even dressier shoes like kitten heels or mary janes. See how easy it is to pull off a tough, yet sweet or a cool, eclectic, and modern look?

The other thing I love about boyfriend jeans is that they look great on tall women. Now the average woman might retort “what doesn’t?” But us tall gals know that some trends don’t live up to the ‘model’ hype and any that do are canceled out by the spiral of depression we whip ourselves into when we search and search and search and can’t find that long torso swimsuit (that we love and doesn’t cost us an arm and a leg), or a simple pair of tall (no, not 34 inch inseam, but TALL) maternity pants, or a maxi dress that actually reaches our ankles! Oops; is my frustration seeping through?! My point is, when a trend is compatible with height, I’m all about jumping on the bandwagon.

Because we have long legs, we don’t have to worry about cuffed boyfriend jeans cutting us off at that awkward place on our calves and making us look short and, well, boyish. We can wear boyfriend jeans and still look sexy as all get out. It’s that kind of “white tee shirt” look guys claim is even more alluring than when we gals get all dolled up. The other attribute of boyfriend jeans is that they tend to have a bit of a higher rise than typical jeans. With our long torsos, the additional inch or two in the rise helps to balance our tall frames. And have I mentioned yet that this is the perfect transition piece into fall? If you buy them soon, you’ll still have plenty of wear left before I’m starting articles cursing the weather instead of reliving my “wonder years.”

With all of this said, don’t let me sell you on boyfriend jeans…see for yourself! Just try a pair on and you’ll see that this is one trend worth shopping for.

Diary of a Tall Fashionista: Maxi Dresses for Tall Women

By Tiffany DeLangie - Tall Fashion Writer for Tall Clothing Mall

I consider myself lucky when trends that favor tall women come on the scene. For example, capris (doesn’t matter if they are too short; they are supposed to be), hip length tunics and tees, and now maxi dresses. Us tall women can get away with wearing all of these items in “regular,” but it’s a special bonus when we can find them in tall sizes, which means the proportions will be just right. In anticipation for summer I have already purchased a few maxi dresses and in true Fashionista OCD fashion, I’m always looking for another fun maxi dress. Maxi dresses were just creeping up this time last year and this year they are already all over the place. And when I say all over the place, I mean affordable places that won’t break the bank.




Styling a maxi dress is fairly simple because they often come in fun prints and patterns that do most of the work. If the pattern is really bold, I recommend wearing a pair of simple silver or gold hoops that match your risk tolerance—really big for fearless females, smaller for the traditionalists. Ballet flats or gladiator sandals look great with maxi dresses but you can also throw on a pair of wedges if the dress is long enough (i.e. covers at least half the heel). One fun attention grabber is to pair metallics with maxi dresses. Look at the colors in the dress to pick the metal that matches and accent those colors by wearing shoes, bag, and jewelry in silver, gold, or bronze. As for bright colors, choose a color at the opposite end or beside it on the color wheel (you never thought you’d use that after 6th grade art class did you?!) to accessorize. For instance if you’re maxi dress is navy blue choose teal or coral jewelry with a big white purse. Or use bright accessories with understated colors, like a bright red purse with a gray, black, or white maxi dress. If your dress is all one color or fairly simple, this is a great opportunity to play dress up by adding a long chunky necklace, fun chandelier or bauble like earrings, metallic gladiator sandals, and a slouchy bag. As you can tell the possibilities are endless.

If you’re not sure how a maxi dress should fit, here are some tips. Make sure the dress reaches your ankles and avoid wearing one that hits that awkward spot between your knee and ankles (that’s what tall sizes will help you to avoid). If you feel like a long dress will make you look too tall (you already know that I think “too tall” is an oxymoron), wear flats and wear your hair down to avoid the extra height piled up hair or ponytails add. Also, if you don’t spend your free time training with a yoga master, no worries! Simply choose a maxi dress with an empire waist, which is flattering on everyone. Also look for a material that isn’t clingy. And if you complain that when you wave goodbye, the wave travels up your arm, I feel your pain. Just wear a shawl, sweater, or denim jacket over your dress.

A tall maxi dress is a must have for this spring and summer! Buy one now before they are all gone and that first gorgeous warm day (for those of you who have already experienced it, good for you…those of us in the Northeast are still anxiously awaiting), wear it with confidence, class, and accessorized!
