Fashion Shopping For Tall Ladies

Shopping for a tall lady, 5'9" and up, is a difficult task. You have to consider the inseam on slacks and jeans, the length of sleeves and where the waistline falls. Being 5'10", I am notorious for taking the hem out of pants.
Places NOT to shop:
When shopping for pants that cater to taller women, you want to stray away from Bebe, Victoria Secret, Metro Style, Macys,Dillards, and Banana Republic. Trust me. I have tried slacks from ALL of the stores above and none of them quite seem long enough. Every now and again Bebe, which caters to petites, will carry a pair of slacks with an inseam greater than 33 inches.
Where TO shop:
When shopping for slacks and you are tall. The internet is your friend. While the selection of tall slacks in stores such as Banana Republic and Ann Taylor may be limited, these stores offer longer inseams when shopping online. J Crew is another store that offers a great tall selection online. If you would like to walk into a store for slacks, The Gap, Express and New York and Company carry longer lengths in slacks.
Denim
When shopping for denim jeans for tall ladies, the same stores listed above will work. However, if you are into designer denim, you would want to learn which brands cater to tall ladies. Rock and Republic and Seven of all Mankind have longer inseams. When shopping for denim for someone 5'9" or over, you would want to look for a 34 inch inseam. Designer denim brands like True Religion and Citizens of Humanity, cater to shorter ladies.

Ladies, Black Tops Are a Wardrobe Must-Have



Ladies, black tops are among the wardrobe must-haves for many reasons. First, they are very flexible and can be worn with basically anything and everything. Jeans, skirts, shorts, scarves, as well as long necklaces and earrings are just some of the accessories that go well with black tops.
The designs of black ladies tops can be as simple as sleeveless and plain black tank tops, to black sequin tops, and those that have collars and ruffles. When purchasing one of these tops, bear in mind the purpose and frequency of use. For everyday wear, the best tops are those that can have scarves or vests and jackets worn over them. The sleeves are important, as there are variations such as puffed sleeves. Other cuts include shoulder fringes and halter tops.
Black tops for women are very easy to find. Online boutiques as well as stores in your local high street have a variety of styles in different sizes. Since these tops are classic wardrobe pieces, you can never have too many. Moreover, you can be creative and choose another clothing item to match the black top while you're out shopping. An off the shoulder black top can be very flattering if you have the figure for it and nice smooth skin.
A tip when wearing black tops is to have black underclothes as well. This is in case the bra straps become visible and is a definite must-have for spaghetti-strapped tops. If you are feeling a bit bolder, you can always choose tube-style black tops to wear at a semi-formal dinner. In terms of skirts and shorts, the best ladies black tops are those that have prints or noticeable designs. This creates the balance between the bottoms and the top.
Footwear is another thing to take pay attention to when a women wears this item of clothing. Black goes well with almost anything so shoes need not be black. The types of footwear can range from stilettos, to wedges and flip flops. What you can do is to match your accessories like the handbag or necklace with the shoes. If you can't decide which shoes to use, it's probably best to go with the most comfortable pair.
Another reason why women choose black tops if to create the illusion of a slimmer figure. The tummy and waist area appears to be smaller when wearing black, and this is advisable for chubby women. This way, they get to be instantly stylish. The cut of the top can also accentuate the bust area especially if it has a V-line or a plunging neckline.
Ladies black tops will always be one the most sought after items of clothing. You don't need to be a fashion guru in order to be able to pull together a stylish and confident outfit with this type of top. Aside from being comfortable, they are relatively inexpensive and never seem to go out of fashion no matter what part of the world you live in.
