 Welcome back to my channel guys, it's your girl Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and styling guys. So today we're going to have another tall girl chat and we're going to talk about some styling tips for tall women. You guys know I am a stylist and I teach corporate professional women how to tackle vertical style challenges utilizing a height of fashion style plan that I created and this is so I can take any client from A to Z from their lifestyle analysis to their wardrobe analysis to their final piece of having their dream wardrobe right. So I don't specifically only style tall women over there but my personal Instagram page and my YouTube channel will definitely be geared more towards that because it's me but I wanted to give you ladies some styling tips for those of you guys who are 5'9 and up, some things that we can do to still be stylish. For me, I think I shot up in about the 5th grade and guys I'll tell you this. Being tall in elementary school is super hard so I know that when I push out stuff on YouTube and Instagram about shopping as a tall woman I wanted to also reach those younger girls because I don't want them to think that they have to look like everybody else and be frustrated of not finding things that actually go with their height because you guys know trying to buy trends and stuff it's just not easy for us it's just it's not something that is super easy and we can always jump on the bandwagon with. So first I want to say shopping for your body type if you don't know your body type you're going to have so much struggle with shopping and this is for anybody actually like petite women if you are a petite woman and you're not 100% sure if you are petite really do some research and figure out what your body type is I guarantee you you will be amazed at how you start to shop a little bit differently so as a stylist this is what I teach my clients like knowing your body type is the number one key in making sure you find clothes that fit your body right okay because what you do is when you go shopping you're not now shopping at all these stores because all stores don't cater to everybody they don't it just doesn't they say all inclusive we know they do not carry tall guys so even for petite women in plus size now I think I've said this before I think plus size women have a really good right now I do because I see a lot of really nice things for you ladies and I see a lot of you ladies looking fabulous okay so that's the first thing I would say is know your body type to the tee if you guys would like a video maybe I'll do a video on showing you how to do proper body measurements it's super easy but this way you know how to shop for stuff you know how to read the labels you know that when you are looking at details product details you know what you're looking for right so second thing is trends trends are not for us I'm not gonna say all trends but one thing we can do to still be stylish is to make sure that we are always sticking to the color palette of that season right that's a really good way to still be stylish and kind of flow with the trends because designers do not cater to us guys they don't they don't they don't and I said this before brands that actually cater to strictly to our women I personally don't like the quality of the stuff so I am a person that likes to take things to get tailored I'll adjust things I'll add pieces together just so I can still keep the quality so think about that when you're shopping if you get frustrated that you can't buy the latest trend definitely go for the colors opposed to the actual style of something that will definitely help you and make you feel like you're still a part of the trendy world right the third thing is know your bus size your hip size your waist know all those sizes guys so your body type is one know your sizes know your measurements your measurements are so important because it helps when you're reading those labels guys again reading those labels reading those product details the model most places that they do have the model height that's a clear indication of if something's going to fit you so for example if it's pants that if the pants are hot water and then I supposed to be in the model is 510 and you don't want them to hit there don't get those pants try to go for things that have an inseam of 34 and up if it's too long guys you could always go get it cut the cleaners will cut you up real good the tailor and get those hemmed up for you nice you could also try places that they do that do cater to tall women and try to get the best quality of the item that you're trying to purchase right I think I said this couple of videos before about my tailor trying to get her to do something with some jeans I'm gonna try some stuff out if she can do something that I what is that I'm thinking then it's over I'm good to go but make sure you know your body measurements guys it's important there's a lot of women out here wearing the wrong bra size and underwear size guys so make sure you are fully aware of your sizes jeans and stuff you could always get pants taken in guys never ever buy anything too small we don't buy inspiration clothes okay inspiration clothes they just sit in your closet I've done it before I'm like it's a little bit snug and lose some weight and it still sits there so one thing you can do is size up and get it tailored guys I will talk about tailoring for myself forever because it helps a lot um find a great tailor is the fourth thing so finding a great tailor is something that I always recommend anybody do actually and and again because there's one designers make things clothes it's not specifically for your particular body it's really for that model that they're designing the clothes on right so she's probably a zero or two one who knows definitely not most of our sizes right so when they start mass producing these products they don't fit how you would like them to fit right here's an example Zara high-street brand that everyone shops at if you read the labels and on Zara clothes they have things that are made in Morocco China and Turkey the stuff in Turkey really great quality Morocco has great quality to however most of the time the stuff made in Morocco runs really small I bought a blazer recently and I got an extra large because in my head I'm thinking it's gonna be small because I had just tried on a blazer in the store made in Morocco and it was kind of snug okay let me get an extra I did this one it was actually really really oversized I got it tailored I did a video I will link that somewhere let you guys see that but she did an amazing job it was fit to my body and I actually really loved it I didn't have to cut the sleeves or anything like that I mean crop the sleeves or bring the sleeves out I actually wanted it to hit right there because it's such a classic blazer and I loved it guys so find you a great tailor guys and it will make a world of the difference when it comes to your clothing guys and the last thing is ladies go slay okay slaying the term slaying means get it go go get it right dress dress to the tee for yourself um stay authentic to yourself try not to be like everybody else right um that's probably why I'm not really a trend person it's cool and all but ever since I was a child growing up in New York City it's just not something that I did I just kind of went with what looked good on me and that is the key making sure you buying you're buying things that look well on you right um like I said all trends don't look good on everybody people jump on every single thing that they see just to have it but it doesn't necessarily look good on them so those are some quick little ways as a tall woman eye shop I always keep those things in mind measurements is like I said you have to know your measurements and you have to know your body type like it's important to the tee and some jackets and stuff like let's think about trench coats so some trench coats are long but then they hit us at this weird length right and it's like we can't get it so sometimes we have to go super longer and get it cut to where it's supposed to fit it's just what we have to do um I don't complain about it it's there are some struggles that we have as tall women but I don't let it like get to me and mess with how I dress um girl wouldn't doubt just roll those sleeves up if you really like something roll the sleeves up if you don't like to roll them up get it cut and cropped that's a great great tip if you find that your arms are really long definitely get your blazers cropped or just roll the sleeves up but I personally like cropping better because it just gives it like more edge edgy look so those are my quick little tips about shopping as a tall woman your measurements is key guys and knowing your body type is definitely key guys so let me know if you want to see more of these tall girl videos and those of you who are new I am Coco and I am six feet tall and I love fashion okay guys um I just like to always look nice and put together that's really what it boils down to looking put together not necessarily always having to wear designer logos all over you just always look presentable guys um you know I always I say this to my clients that we're being judged because I work with corporate women you're being judged even at your job so if you're trying to go for a promotion and you've been going for this job over and over and over and you're like why am I not getting it most of the time especially if you're in the office it could be your image um I tell women that you are a representation of your company when you are there so they have to know that they could actually send you out on the field if they needed to to meet with a client whatever that you would represent the company in a really good way so even in your real life guys your regular life guys when you're going out you're being judged every single day and here's the thing we most of us don't care however when it comes to people staring at you oh my god that will just drive anybody insane right um they're stare if you don't look like everyone else they're stare if you decide to wear a bright color maybe change your hair maybe wear afro for black women um maybe color hair you know people are always staring so give them something to stare about guys okay make sure you are looking well and put together when you're going out and it's just just not to take away from anybody who may not have um lots of money because it doesn't take a lot of money and I say this all the time like you know it's certain things that you can do and this is why I do teach these women is because some of them don't make a lot of money but you you don't have to spend a lot to look good just buy good quality and it'll save you tons of money in the end and you will thank yourself and your wallet will thank you too guys so if you like videos like this please comment below
