 Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles known as channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling guys so today I wanted to talk to you ladies about Why I don't shop tall girl brands and The main reason is I never had to So when I was in New York, I'll be honest with you. I Never shopped all girl brands what I used to do was I used to pretty much go ahead and just find like longer pants And that's it never really thought about the tops being too short at the sleeves or anything like that Back then a friend of friend and I used to always go to West 4th Which is in the village and we would get things altered So it was not something that I did back then and now I'm really not gonna do it because Personally, I don't like the quality of the stuff. So this video is pretty much about me making regular brand clothes work for my tall frame so I Did a video about the brands that I shop so when I'm shopping these brands guys I Honestly, I'll be honest with you. I don't really think about My height so much. So I'm in the stores. I'm grabbing things, you know I'm looking at it. I put it back if I don't feel like it'll fit I don't really get caught up in my height and the reason why is because I think I can get really discouraged if I did so I'll give you an example These leather pants break here Well, these are full of the pants. I got these from ALC ALC I'm gonna show you the whole thing. Well at the bottom ALC had a lot of room To bring down the bottom of the pants. They were cuffed more than this So what my tailor did was she just brought them down for me, right? She brought them down for me here And I love these pants Well, let me not say I love them. They're nice. They're okay because they ripped the first time I wore them and I'm not even big guys. They're size 10 and they have stretch. They're their full of them. So They don't cater to tall women. However, their pants were actually long This is why I always say reading late reading the product details and stuff is always a good idea to do as A tall woman. It's just something that we should we should just get into the routine of doing Period like we should always read those product details. Look at the model's height and Go from there. I also have I Didn't do a video yet on these. I have a couple of things that I didn't do a video on but I got these these are from Banana Republic and and these are actually a tall. These are a 30 tall Um, they're not gonna be as long as those. However, they go on to hit me Right where I need them to wear a cute pair of pumps So if you guys are interested in these they make these ones sell too for like the low-low if you guys are interested That's the name of them. So they're coated pants. Um, I have a red pair from seven jeans and I already know I don't really like how they're fitting me at the bottom It's supposed to be three-quarter, but They're not three-quarter on me So I am going to get creative with those and have my tailor put some leather leather pieces on the bottom if that makes sense so So yeah, so I just I make those things work for me you guys know I bought some sweatpants from This is what's her name Chloe Kardashian good American These are super long her pants alone. I believe Chloe's like a five ten also. I think she's five ten She's a five nine five ten I think she's five ten, but her stuff are long. This is the only pants that I bought this in another color From her so I make brands regular brands work for me tops and stuff I can still go to Zara Zara is a place that I can go Back in the day. I don't know if you guys know this but Way way back in the day Zara used to never go past the size 10 Okay, and I was just making it and this was in new york. So this was This was years years ago They didn't even go past the size 10 now. They have like plus size, which is amazing However, again, like I said before I think plus size folks have it way better Because they have brands that cater to them for us. We don't have it like that So Zara blazes and stuff I can still get away with without necessarily altering the sleeves If I don't want to so it like this blazer is made in spain so You guys can't really see the color of this but this is like a pretty Almost like a kelly green. I guess you can say kelly green It doesn't look like that on camera, but I don't have to alter the sleeves But if I wanted to I could and I'm gonna show you where why So it has room here is enough room Is this much room? For my tailor to come in and alter the sleeves for me. Okay Another brand is cost. I buy things from cars Um, maybe not so much the pants, but more of the tops. So again, I make these brands work for me Because I just don't necessarily feel like being frustrated one trying to find brands that cater to us. Like it's hard plus size petite I I know you guys haven't So much easier than tall woman because I'm a stylist and I see it all the time and I think another reason why I don't get frustrated is because I've always been into clothes and coming from new york I just never had time to be worried about things fitting me or not I just made it work if I had to alter it or not because I like to dress and look nice. So That's why I actually don't really Gear towards tall brands. I wish brands did cater to us. It would be great, but they don't Um, so as of today the brands that they do have that do have a tall section You can't even get it in store guys. Like it's so hard But you can't even get it in store and this is when I this is when I This is when I actually have a problem because I feel like If you're gonna carry plus size if you're gonna carry tall Um, petite everything should be in the store just like regular Clothes right regular sizes. Don't start to You know push other people to the side Put it in the store You know, there are women who like extra long pants. So I don't know. I wish these brands would do a better job at that But for my tall ladies 5 8 and up, but I know the struggle really starts at maybe 5 9 5 10 and up Try not to allow your height to hinder you from being stylish or even trying to Uh, when you're shopping like don't let it frustrate you because it can easily easily happen and For me I don't let it get to me Like I said, I'll just alter something if I really need it to Or I just won't get it It ain't that serious like and I've said this before like we can't necessarily always Jump on every trend Um, because those designers are not catering to us. They yeah, they're not catering to us They came into the girl who was their model and that's it so For me, it's not really a big deal But I want women to understand and know that You can definitely get creative menswear. Okay. I'm not really big on menswear I may start diving into it. Um, because their cuts are nice too Like they have european cuts that will look really really nice on women. Um And I just know like the oversized look is in However, even though it's oversized this still may fit us different because we're tall Um, and shoot they are the women's section anyway, so Why can't we step on over to their side? But that's it guys. I just wanted women to know that as a tall woman a tall team a small, you know young adult Whole full adult or older women You don't necessarily have to shop at tall brands to Be stylish guys because I don't do it all the time I make this stuff work for me without even skipping a beat like it doesn't bother me It doesn't take me out of my way something no fit. I just don't get it Like I don't even worry about I don't get upset because I can't change anything about my height So just a quick little chit chat on why I don't really care for the Tall girl brands and how I make regular brand stuff work for me I'll probably pop in some photos here and there about some things that I have one So you guys can see from like old stuff.
