NOUBI SAYS: If you are tall and thin, you’re lucky. You’re every woman’s envy and every man’s dream girl next door. Not really. At least it’s what they say in the fashion industry. Modeling agencies are constantly looking for your body type. You’re a designer’s living mannequin. While you are what is described above, it’s not always true that you can wear everything you want. Clothing colors should also coordinate with your skin tone and hair.
TIPS: If you are TALL and THIN
If you are very thin…
✓ You should not wear anything bare or clinging.
✓ Fullness and softness are your tricks of illusion.
✓ Soft, fluffy fabrics in summer and airy voile are good choices. Boots are best. They camouflage skinny legs under skirts.
✓ Vertically striped designs and patterns will make you look even thinner than you are.
For HER:
✓ Keep the very skinny part under wraps. You may cover your throat with a scarf, choker, high cowl neck, or long hair. Avoid prissy bows and ruffles.
✓ Like the very short woman, you should avoid heavy shoes. They’ll make your legs look even thinner.
For HIM:
✓ Keep the very skinny with thinker fabrics and jackets. Of course, consider going to the gym. Avoid having a hair cut neither too long nor too short.
✓ You should always wear a suit that fits well as there are many big and tall men’s clothing available today.
✓ Prominent large-scaled designs and patterns such as big polka dots are things to avoid.
✓ Layering adds interest and disguises thinness.
- If you think your height is more than what you want…
For HER:
✓ Avoid heels, of course. Minimize the use of shoulder paddings.
For HIM:
✓ Don’t worry! It’s all in your mind. Tall men are desirable.
✓ Wear horizontally striped designs and patterns. Minimize layering clothes.
