 to my channel guys it's sugar cocoa styles and on this channel we talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling guys so today i wanted to just come on here this is going to be about because i was doing something on instagram and i was thinking about i talked about the struggles of tall women and when it comes to like buying pants and jeans and dresses sometimes um mini skirts mini skirts we can't do guys you know that there just be way too short on us and to be quite honest as much as we have legs i personally think that we look really really nice in midi skirts so i'll probably pop in photos as i'm speaking to you guys um in the name of places so i wanted to talk to you about some brands that i think we can shop at um they don't necessarily focus on tall women stuff however you can get creative when it comes to shopping at these places and this is not a huge list but i find myself shopping here a lot um i didn't put every single brand that i have and i'll tell you why um i don't want to put things here that's super expensive because i sometimes do not care about the price depending on what the item is and it's because i really want it and i know i can't find it in my size so i have a list here for you ladies and i hope you guys enjoy because i think it's affordable um i think i think they're it's affordable let me just jump right into it so first i'll say this a lot of people shop at zahra right um zahra does not cater to tall women um however they do have pants and jeans sometimes that we could actually fit um i'll probably pop in the picture of me i have on a pair of their jeans and the only reason is the only reason why these jeans fit me is because of this styled number they have a lot of wide leg pants however they all are not created equally guys okay i bought another pair in black i have to cut them into shorts they just didn't fit me um they actually have nice shorts that i think are pretty nice um i actually have on a pair now maybe i'll show you guys maybe not maybe i will let me stand up really quick let me just stand up the way my camera is it might seem a little weird but can you guys see these shorts so let me slide the chair over i don't know if you guys can see so they're not they're short but they're not like like cooch cutters um and i have room around the leg part right i wasn't supposed to do that but you know so you can definitely find some things in there but it's not a place that we could always go i should add another i'm gonna add one more place here because they carry tall so sorry guys and yeah so i'll say this too uh you guys know i do not always shop at brands that cater to tall women and i've said this before i'm just not really a fan of the quality of the items so i don't do it um it's kind of bright in here let me turn this down so yeah so i sometimes i just don't do it um i don't like the quality i don't like the material it's just a few things i just don't like most of the time they'll make pants trousers with no pockets and i'm just like come on give us some pockets guys like they really do us dirty and i'm kind of over it but being that i'm from new york want to raise in new york so certain things i'm just like kind of accustomed to just like maneuvering through you know the fashion world as far as still being stylish right and tall because it's not easy for us so i'm gonna jump into brands that i currently buy and i'll go into i won't do like hats and stuff it's okay because they're just hats right however you guys know i love lack of color hats um brexton has decent hats i'm gonna say decent two things i don't like is their shipping method how they pack their things um and i think it's three things i don't like and the quality of their straw hats i just don't like um but their shipping method if they can fix that i think they would be a pretty decent affordable hat brand um but i am lack of color to the day i die okay so let me jump right into the brands so Levi's guys i know Levi's is an old brand but they carry 34 uh i want to say they go up to a 36 i have some pants that are extremely long um i know a lot of girls are getting away from like the super super long long jeans and they'll get something a little bit more crap at the ankle so they can wear their pumps and stuff um and to me that's perfect because you know you don't necessarily have to be stuck with finding long an extra long inseam because if you want them to just hit by your ankle honestly if you're like six feet a 32 would be just fine for you it'll hit right there um or maybe a 33 get your little ankle bracelet and you're good so Levi's now here's the kicker they're 501 jeans um i'm not gonna say that because i can't fit them and i'm not i'm not the thickest girl i'm far from big i'm not the thickest girl but i think what happens with those is because we are tall when you pull the pants up where it would typically hit a shorter person it's it's the struggle for us right um that's why i always say plus-sized women they have it better to me i always see really really nice things for them and a lot of stores cater to them so they forgot about us poor girls so Levi's is one good place they do have shorts now their shorts are not like oversized baggy type shorts i think the girls are wearing now um they're more fitted so if you still like that style they stretch yes they definitely have skinny jeans for us i don't know what's going on like why they think all tall women just want to wear skinny jeans we do like wide like pants because they look extremely nice on us so Levi's is one place to get some jeans from and the gap the gap has cigarette pans that i love um but they also have barrel jeans i think i have a picture with myself with them on maybe not i'll probably pop in a photo barrel jeans are nice they're like almost like mom jeans kind of like that baggy look so here's the thing i had to literally size up to a 14 guys which i couldn't do the 12 now that i'm thinking about it um but i had my tailor go in and she pretty much hooked me up like she cut the waist and she brought them up did all that good stuff this is why i say having a tailor as a tall woman is like your best friend so they have nice jeans also don't sleep on the gap and do not sleep on Levi it's just that they have our size guys um and those are for jeans river island and asos of course now i'm only saying asos because i know that they have a tall section but i usually don't buy stuff from asos river island yes river island has better way better quality um they also have really nice sweaters their their nits like their long cardigans are a one so i just want to throw those two in them the frankie shop they don't have a tall section guys right so all these places they don't have a tall section except for asos and river island but the frankie shop i bought a shirt it was like a crop white button-up shirt and again i'm not the biggest girl but i got a little bit of broad shoulders and my my breasts are kind of big so the shirt was cool but it was so tight around my breast so i had to take it back however they do have one size fit all tops those are perfect for us because they they're very oversized they're very cute and the quality is awesome guys the frankie shop has amazing amazing quality i would buy anything from them any given day um so the frankie shop is one of course banana republic i'm sorry they have a tall section so when banana republic um it's like a hit or miss for me honestly but when i do go there i do find that i can find ankle pants that are the proper length okay we us tall women we love ankle pants too the problem is that if we go to a regular store ankle pants are not so ankle now i have never tried to buy like a regular size 32 to see if it would fit me like a real ankle because it's not quite down there at the bottom it's it's a little bit above it but banana republic definitely has them they have trousers i have not seen jeans there and they have my kind of like cargo pants there so if you look at something like that definitely go for go there um affordable they have blazers that are also good let me see yeah the frankie shop has blazers i have no not yet it's it's still out of stock um but of course banana republic has nice blazers um and and zara guys i can wear zara blazers depending on where it's made um i did the video a couple of weeks ago with the blazer that was tailored that actually fit me but the other blazer fit me too short at the the wrist and i got it cropped so it's just getting creative guys so the frankie shop definitely has like really nice tops um for us that are one size fit all that we can actually fit and looks stylish guys um the other place is alc now i don't know if i have a video i probably do and if i can find it i'll pop it in i bought a pair of faux leather pants from alc and they were actually long enough for me and it also had enough room inside for me to take out if i wanted to and i think i did um they were pretty expensive but i will say that they ripped the first time i wore them in like the little middle area and again i'm not a big girl but i just think that they should have did a little bit better with the stitching but the pants are actually really really nice so alc i've purchased blazers from them nice blazers now they are a lot of ones to their price but for some who don't want to spend $400 on a blazer or even $600 on a blazer it's not for you then stick to zara stick to zara blazers that are the ones that are $149 those are the best quality guys you know i'm big on quality so yes alc is another place you can find some good pants that are pretty long and nice blazers for us now i have a shirt and a pair of pants from this place called hofman kopen kopenhagen and i found this brand on intermix so intermix is a place that has multiple brands that they sell multiple items jewelry shoes clothes whatever and i came across this brand and oh my god this shirt is a gorgeous like the sleeves are long so it's just really really really getting creative and really doing your research guys um because i'll tell you this i'm not going to be stuck only shopping at places that cater to tall women and the reason why is being from new york i was able to find other things that were fitting for my body that were not just made for tall women if that makes sense so um another brand is iro iro they have nice things and they don't cater to tall women but their tops and their jackets we can definitely get away with now if you have an arm length that is probably longer than 24 then you may start to struggle a little bit with some of these brands um but if you don't mind just cropping up your sleeves and stuff then go ahead chow so iro has really nice things they're not the cheapest and they're not the most expensive but if you want something a little bit more unique then i would say go for them um so those are the clothes the brands and the stores that i like to shop at um that's just a small portion of it guys i'm looking around because i have other stuff in here um and then when it comes to shoes okay i got some big old feet and i have wide feet i got my mom's feet so i have to be creative i have rebecca minkoff shoes right i have jimmy shoes i have berman shoes now berman runs small so i have to literally size up to a 12 like literally i think they just run narrow um and i have sam edelman which sam edelman pumps they're they're not expensive they're like 150 guys seriously and i actually think they're really good now they came out with a new style same they're supposed to be the same one as the old ones but they're just not the same i think the quality is not as good as they were before so i'm hoping that they kind of go back to the old style um because those are pretty pretty decent and then what else i have i have quite a bit of shoes in there but those are the brands that i strictly strictly go for stowed has has nice shoes good quality they go up to a size 12 i believe um and berman goes up to a size 12 as well so if you have narrow feet you'll be fine with berman if you're feeling like super wide you may have a problem but if you have like an average wide foot like my feet are wide um i'm i'm okay with getting into them uh so i wear a 10 and a half but i always get like an 11 11 and a half all the time um so those are the shoes i like to buy um and if you do have a size bigger like bigger than a 12 i think there's a brand there's a young lady on instagram she's always um promoting the lady shoes um i'm gonna get it something with a l laniya lonaia l o a and something like that i'm gonna find it um but i think she goes up to like a 14 maybe um but you guys listen being tall it's not like the worst thing in the it's not the end of the world right it's not the end of the world we can definitely find things that are stylish we can still be stylish we may not be able to jump on every trend which is fine but it doesn't mean that we can't look nice right so that's why i'm here guys i just want women to know like you can be confident and be tall we're not average height we're always gonna stand out um people tell us not to wear heels but screw them okay wear your heels ladies embrace it um and that's it right just always look nice you know if you can't figure out how to style yourself if you aren't tall you guys know i do personal and i teach women how to actually do this um it's fun because i think women get kind of caught up in what they see online and feel like they have to dress like everybody else and you actually really don't because if you really think about if you look at instagram this is like this is gonna sound so bad but it's like sets of girls actually you have the girls who are like basic neutral colors all the time they have the real colorful girls then you have the girls who are always wearing body kind of dresses no matter what the girls who are always wearing sports bra tops with like biking shorts with heels like you have those girls um so don't think that you have to do what everybody else is doing to be stylish you really don't like stylish like i said before is unique to the individual and fashion is more of a collective so everybody's doing it so you can mix a little bit of fashion with your style but you definitely don't have to always be fashionable like on every trend it's just you don't have to do that but i just wanted to come over here and give you guys some of the brands that i really like to shop at and just get creative and you know what think about it when you buy shirts and stuff that are what okay i'll say this i feel like now a lot of shirts are crop tops like i like i didn't get that memo like everybody got like a six pack or something but all the shirts are crop now that's not really my thing however you can get creative with it like you can get creative if you really want to wear if you don't want to show too much of your body definitely wear a shirt over it make it more of a sporty look opposed to wearing a sports bra top in like leggings and heels like you know if that's not your thing don't do that try something different throw a white shirt over it um if you still want to wear shoes with it that's that that's fine but if you want to like dress it down because you normally want to bring too much attention to yourself wear sneakers wear some cute classic sneakers you guys know i love me the coyotes okay i love coyotes um their classic they're all white and they're sleek and they're affordable and they just have style guys so that's it like just make sure you are like really diving into your own personal style if you have any questions for me guys put them in the comment box for me um let me know what you would like to see as far as tall girls stuff you guys know i'm still trying to really get the hang of this thing like i'm so serious because youtube is it's different from instagram but you know it's still a place for me to express how i am as far as being a tall woman some of the struggles that i deal with in places that i shop at
