Winter is Coming! Fashion Tips for Tall Women
When you’re tall, the arrival of fall and winter can be a mixed blessing. Cozy layers and chic styles sound great—until you hit the stores and realize that finding jackets that actually cover your arms and pants that don’t leave your ankles exposed feels like an impossible task.
Trust me, I get it. As a tall woman with 48-inch long legs, shopping during the colder months used to be one of my biggest fashion struggles. But over the years, I’ve learned some go-to tricks to make dressing for fall and winter a lot more fun—and functional!
Here’s How to Survive Fall & Winter Fashion as a Tall Woman:
1. Embrace Opera Gloves
For those days when you just can’t find a jacket with sleeves long enough, opera gloves are your best friend. The fingerless variety is perfect for giving your long fingers room to move, plus they add a stylish touch to any outfit. I found a great $4 pair on Shein.com, but if you’re looking for warmth, go for cashmere gloves. I snagged a few pairs from Saks Off 5th and bought them in every color. Trust me, they’re a winter game-changer!
2. Invest in Vests
One of my favorite fall fashion hacks is vests—because, hello, no sleeves to worry about! You can layer them over a long sleeve shirt or sweater, and voilà, you’re ready to step out into the cold. The North Face has some fantastic options that work for everything from crisp autumn days to snowy winter weather. Vests add warmth without the struggle of finding jackets that actually fit.
3. Thigh-High Boots to the Rescue
Ah, thigh-high boots. When this trend made a comeback, I was thrilled—not only do they make my long legs look even more amazing, but they also help cover those high-water pants that never seem to go away! If you haven’t met Stuart Weitzman’s Ultrahighland, Midlands, Tielands, or Lowlands boots, let me introduce you. These beauties are not just fashionable but incredibly practical for tall women. I highly recommend grabbing them in every fabric—you’ll wear them year-round!
Fashion Tip:
For this outfit, I paired my black suede Stuart Weitzman Highland boots (in size 12) with TallFit’s O.G. black leggings (size medium) and an O.G. black training jacket (also size medium). I topped it off with my favorite North Face vest to keep things cozy and chic. The combination of thigh-high boots, tailored leggings, and layering pieces makes it easy to look put together and stay warm.
Final Thoughts
Dressing for fall and winter as a tall woman doesn’t have to be frustrating—it’s all about finding pieces that work for your unique frame. From long gloves to stylish vests and thigh-high boots, there are plenty of ways to stay warm and fashionable during the colder months.
So this season, instead of dreading the hunt for tall-friendly clothing, embrace your height and make these tips your winter wardrobe go-tos. Trust me, you’ll be turning heads for all the right reasons!
Stay warm, stay stylish, and remember—being tall is always in style!
