 So a lot of the questions that I get from women as a tall girl is how do I find clothes at regular brands that actually cater to my frame and guys I'm going to tell you right now I am a avid description reader. So in this video I wanted to break down or show you guys some of the pieces that I got from five different places that don't necessarily cater to tall women. I'm going to show you guys some of the pieces that I got from these places and why I always get these particular type of items as opposed to something else. Now you guys know I am six feet tall and the struggle is real. But let's jump right into the video and get into the first place that I absolutely love shopping at. You guys already know I love the Frankie shop so for me at the Frankie shop things that are a one-size-fits-all or that are oversized are for me. But here's some of the pieces that I got from the Frankie shop and I'm going to pop in a video or a photo of each item because I want you to see how it actually looks on my frame. Now this is the vest that they had. It's an oversized vest right I'm going to come a little closer. It's really really bright so this is one of their vests that was supposed to be like extremely oversized as a criss-cross front here with a snap really really nice. This is a large so this one actually came in a large size. Absolutely love it. It's supposed to be extremely oversized but on my frame it's not and I'll pop in a photo with that on. Now the way this vest fits me I like. I didn't really want it to be super oversized because the way the shoulders were I didn't want it to be like almost like Star Trek looking. So I chose to get a large so it can fit my bust area as well as the shoulders. I didn't want to get anything too small because I didn't want it to be too tight in the bust area. I'll link this if they still have it. Now if you know you can't even see it I'll show you on something else but some of the Frankie shop items do come with the tag that says the Frankie shop okay and then some does not. So in this case you probably can't even see it because it's so bright. This one says the Frankie shop and then the other top that I got is their Savvy top let me tell you. I wore this for a brand shoot for my style services on my website. Love this top. I'm going to pop in a photo so it looks really oversized the sleeves are kind of like balloonish but when it's on girls like I want it to come back in stock in black I think it's still out of stock. But the way that the top fits you'll see in the photo or the video absolutely love the way the top fits it's just a nice balloon sleeve but the bottom of the shirt actually fits you kind of nice and like fitted I don't want to say tear look but it's definitely a fitted look. If you notice I do go for things that are on the lighter side because ivory and cream are my colors so I go for things that are lighter but the Frankie shop is one place that I absolutely love shopping it's not again a tall girl friendly brand but don't sleep on them girls definitely think about checking them out and really combing through the website and seeing what they have for us. You can wear a top from them you can probably wear oversized blazer from them and you can also wear skirts from them let me grab a skirt. So when it comes to their skirts and things read the description as well on these because sometimes they will actually put small medium large right if it's not a small medium medium large situation they will put the waist measurements I'm not gonna lie their measurements on the waist is so small so if you are anything over I want to say a 32 it might not fit even in a large but something like this that has like any elastic can fit. This is from the Frankie shop I got a large in this this is one of the ones that does not say the Frankie shop this is by Rose Malau as it's been. So something like this it's a really nice piece from the Frankie shop I'll show you guys a picture with me with this on as well. So again I try to go for pieces as opposed to outfits sometimes and that is solely because guys I don't want to look like every single tall girl out there. Most of the tall girls really do shop at the same brands I just don't so I always make regular brands work for me and finding unique pieces is one of the things that I absolutely love to do. So when it comes to their jackets it's a go for us only their jackets that are one size fits all because they may run of that a bit small because they like to add shoulder pads and if something is like a bomber style jacket and it doesn't go up to an extra large or it's oversized you're not going to get that look the sleeves are likely going to be a two short. Okay this leather coat I have not worn it yet because the weather is just so like in between in Atlanta so the jacket that I have on now is another designer I'll let you guys know in a second what that is but beautiful coat made really really well right it's made really really well and the sleeves are so long if you are a girl who's under six feet this is going to be a huge jacket it is the look that they're going for on the model however if that's not your thing don't do it this is just long enough for a girl who's six feet tall to where their hands are covered like that's not even like a thing for us Boston but a beautiful beautiful jacket so their skirts their tops their jackets their coats you guys know I just bought a coat from them actually I have three coats from the Frankie shop I'll pop in a photo I have an oversized like it looks like an 80s vibe coat and it has shoulder pads I also have one of their trench coats which is oversized and one of their wool coats beautiful beautiful coat I did mention this before that the wool coat and ivory it's not really I'm not gonna say that it's it's a coat because it's very thin as opposed to coats that I used to purchase in New York lining does not go all the way you can't even see it's so light but the lining stops literally right here it's not a thick coat like I can see my hands through it but we can fit these it's really large it's oversized it has shoulder pads and it's good it's good for us so this is what I talk about when I say shopping for regular brands and making it work for me this is what I do I cannot shop a tall girl brand and it's no shade to them girls it's just that I like things that are stylish and a lot of this stuff is very very simple and I know it has a lot to do with budget I get it but there are things that we can wear at regular brands and make it work for us guys the next place that I love to shop is mango it's a high street brand people would say it's fast fashion but if you're shopping if you're gonna shop fast fashion in my opinion you want to buy things that you could wear multiple times and that are great in quality mango I buy their skirts and I'll buy their cardigans depending on the size if they go up to an extra large I definitely get it if they don't I may chance it depending on the style and how the item is made these two pleated skirts when I tell you I had these for years now they have not like shed they have not I don't even appealed or anything really this inside is like a I know it's just like some full material but their full leather I had them for a really long time guys they have not messed up on me like literally so when it comes to buying fast fashion I'm not gonna say I'm against it but I want to get things that I know that I can wear multiple times if it's something that's a bright color like those bag on Jimmy Choo shoes I have to figure out a way to wear them because they're really bright and they don't go with the majority of my wardrobe however since I have a ton of neutral colors it can go with that but I'll go for the like pleated skirts they don't have these anymore but if they do come back and stop guys this is one place I would recommend getting pleated skirts from that are faux leather they don't spank they don't have like that weird faux leather smell these are just made really really really well and I had them for some years now they're long so if you're not into long skirts then don't get it but I'm thinking about getting two more and having my tailor cut them if I can find some that are similar in style from mango or even from another designer but and get them cut to like a nice mini length for a tall girl and I don't mean mini like the short girl mini I mean like when I put my hand down it's it's mini enough to where I can wear like really really tall boots and I feel uncomfortable full of the pleated skirts I love to get from mango not necessarily met the tall women but it does fit our frame the other skirts I would say would be their satin skirts okay when it comes to buying satin skirts there's good quality ones and then there's like terrible quality ones so make sure you're looking at that if you're getting like a full a hundred percent satin skirt you shouldn't have a problem but if you go for something that is silk you'll be like a one now these are satin but I think they are pretty good in quality I had them for over mmm over two years now really nice I've styled these with red boots I've styled them with chunky boots like I'll show you guys pictures of those as well so I've styled them with a bunch of things that you normally wouldn't style with a satin skirt now when I did wear with the chunky boots I went for more of a kind of like rugged look at the bottom and more of a like tailored fit at the top so when it comes to mixing your styles I think that's a really good way to add a little bit of pop to your outfit something a little bit more feminine as a satin skirt with like chunky big boots so skirts are like I said another thing that I absolutely love to get from mango so if you liked this video so far make sure you are hitting that like button guys alright so let's get into the next one the third place I love to shop at is Zara again Zara is considered fast fashion as well but the same as mango you want to find pieces that are different and that are good quality this dress situation here I'll show you guys a picture this was really really really really great quality it's a really nice just I don't know some people wear as a coat you could wear it as a jacket you could wear it as I'm sorry as a cup as a cover-up I got not a cover-up you could wear it as a third layer in piece really really nice so when it comes to shopping at Zara I look at those things sometimes Zara would get like designer collaborations in there you want to check those things out because the quality being really good they used to do this at H&M but they stopped but things like this I buy at Zara I also like to buy Zara's knitwear now granted I got this sweater situation dress I don't even know what the heck is called it fits me like a sweater but I got this from Qatar really when I tell you this sweater Saini is so nice I'll pop in a photo of me wearing this as well but this sweater is so nice when I got this in Qatar I'm gonna come closer so you guys can see the detail when I got this in Qatar I was like I've never seen anything like this in America like literally really really nice sweater it could be a dress guys but you know but it's really really good quality so things like this I look for and hence the reason why I go for colors that I know I can wear a multiple ways and nothing that's like extremely extremely bright and that's just because it's a fast fashion brand so this one is another thing that I like to go for at Zara as well as their blazers and skirts alright so let's get into the blazer first this blazer is like you can't even see it it's a beautiful it's like a satin but it has like this little I don't know something about this that just breaks that it costs money it has a little bit of shoulder pads very very nice I can come up close but you can't really see the detail it's like a tuxedo satin blazer the buttons are satin as well but a really really really really nice jacket so when I buy things that are from a fast fashion brand I'm always taking them to the dry cleaners that is because at the end of the day I don't care how cheap something is and this was like 119 doesn't matter I still want to care for it because I pay my money for it okay so so blazers are another thing that I like to buy at Zara not all blazers fit us well so you have to be careful when you are buying them if you're a tall girl make sure you try them on make sure you're looking at the seam of the shoulder make sure it's not too short on you if you go on for something oversized it can definitely be over your shoulder but if you want something that fits you tailored pay attention to the line here and on your shoulder when you have it on other thing is their skirts so their fold other is pretty decent as well like mango I had this skirt for I mean like I had to have had this since 20 maybe 20 20 23 maybe 20 19 20 20 18 possibly but I'll show you guys this as well really nice it has a slit in the back and I'll be honest sometimes I wear this backwards but it's a really nice skirt really really nice it doesn't look that well on camera but it's actually a really really nice skirt in person and it also does not have a smell any fold leather that you buy and it spanks you might not want to keep it alright so skirts are another thing that I like to buy from Zara the other piece from Zara that I like to shop and buy are their graphic tees only the graphic tees that have really good detailing that's stitched if it's not one of these I'm not going to get it and that's solely because I don't like the quality of those but these seem to have really good cotton and the t-shirt is just made really really well so don't skip out on your t-shirts they have really nice graphic tees as well nice little designs go for something that has a stitching here like I said let me see if I can come close you guys can see it's like engraved really really nice so check out their t-shirts as well at Zara it's not a ton of things I like to get from there other things would be like their basics very very simple their tank tops jeans are another thing I'll pop in a photo when it comes to their jeans as a tall woman you have to read those details their full length jeans that are extra long will fit somewhere at max six feet tall I have a quite a few pair jeans from Zara that are long and I want to say that they're like a 35 maybe 34 and a half inch thing but they fit really really well I usually size up and then get them tailored but don't sleep on their jeans guys if you are a tall girl if you're 5'9 you should be able to fit them unless you have really long legs but Zara jeans are pretty good their full length jeans the last type of item that I like to get from Zara so let's get into the next brand the next place I love to shop is a new designer that's not necessarily tall girl friendly but they do have pieces that will fit my frame again guys each of these places are not tall girl friendly but they do have pieces that fit us it just takes a little bit of research and time to do this it may seem like a lot for some but I've been doing it since I was small young teen so it doesn't bother me so Lamarck you guys know I love Lamarck blazers absolutely love Lamarck I have on a Lamarck blazer right now if you guys can see it says this is their oversized Felina blazer and I have three of them don't have four child even now maybe three I think I have four because I have them black as well so this is the brown and the green one holiday colors beautiful beautiful beautiful blazers made really really well one of them is a large and one is an extra large actually both oh I'm lying one is a medium and one is a large so I have medium and large the medium does fit I think this is a medium that I have one it fits really nice it's not a tailored fit but it's oversized but Lamarck has really really really nice jackets I talk about these all the time if you can get your hands on any of them do so okay just not sponsored I wish they did sponsor me because I want like two more but their jackets are really really really nice as far as anything else on the website I have not purchased but these these are king so leather blazers from Lamarck is another place that I love to shop at and again I'm not buying everything from these websites it's just specific pieces that I know that can fit my frame six feet tall not the biggest girl pretty slim so yeah Lamarck is another place that I absolutely love let's get into the last place I love to shop as a tall girl that's not tall girl friendly and the last place is ALC so ALC is would be considered more on the I don't want to say high street because they are not that cheap but they have really nice full of the pants and I have on a pair right now I don't know if you guys can see I don't have any shoes on but their pants are really really nice now when I initially bought them because I bought two pair of what an ivory color it's like a mmm it's not really ivory but it's more of like a beige the beige color I did get my tailor to come actually she didn't take these down she took these down this room inside the pants for you to actually take down if you need more room if you are a girl who's six feet tall I'm gonna pop in a photo with them on I don't think I ended up getting these tailored I'll get the hem taken out because the ones that I have one I can tell the bottom is different so you can definitely have your tailor take out the extra room that they have and the reason I'm saying to do that is solely because you want to wear heels with it if you do decide to wear a flat you may not even like how it looks to be quite honest but if you wore point maybe so ALC's fall of the pants are really really good now they are pricey so for some who don't like to spend that much on full leather which I didn't but we're as a tall girl the struggle is so real for us that I literally have to spend more money to buy things that I want as opposed to just going ahead to a tall girl brand and getting something that is like not made the best okay so for me I you know I buy what I want and what looks good on me and that works well with my wardrobe I got a brown pair and I got this color here and I wear them a ton of ways in a ton of times the other thing I love to get from them are their their blazers this is a tuxedo blazer it has like a satin lapel and the buttons on here are also like a satin really nice it's oversized it's not super super oversized I think I did a video showing you guys some of my favorite blazers I'm in how to style them so I'll pop in a video or something with this one but I absolutely love it like when I say try out these brands guys try them out you could always return something if they have a store in your city go try this stuff on see what works well with your frame we don't have to be stuck shopping at specific brands because we're limited with and it comes to clothes I have seen girls go to a plus size section and buy something like in the smallest plus size and get it tailored so it really just depends on your style and if you really care that much to even go that route or just shop at a tall girl brand so this video is for the girls who want to try something different and who don't necessarily want to be stuck and pigeonholed and shopping at a particular brand I hope that helps you guys in this video my goal for this video was to let you guys know that you do not have to be pigeonholed to shopping at strictly tall girl brands you can definitely try shopping at brands that don't necessarily cater to us and making that item work for you you guys for tuning into this video if you stay to the end of this video
