 Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling for tall women guys. So today is going to be kind of like a Event about Shopping as a tall woman All right, and I know that some of my followers are tall on Tiktok, but I'm not a hundred percent sure how many of you ladies or even gentlemen are actually Over five nine. I want to say because I do feel like five seven You really shouldn't have an issue unless you have Like a really thick thighs possibly and you want to wear like straight leg pants that are like full denim Maybe But you typically wouldn't have an issue with like length so Let's get into it Why am I talking about this today? because I feel like Brands just don't care about the tall girls. Okay, I said it and I said what I said Okay, they do not care about tall women My air is coming on so it may be a little loud in here So and I'm saying I'm gonna use some brands as an exam. I don't know if I should say their names, but There are brands where they do have a tall section, but you can't get the item in store Like what what's the point of that? So you just exclude a whole group of people and just make them always shop online I just don't think that that is Inclusive okay So When it comes to I'm gonna go through a few things I'm gonna give you ladies some tips as well that I use so I'll give you a little back story I am six feet tall for those of you guys who do not know this. I'm about 205 pounds Maybe 206, but I'm slim. I am a vegan so that probably was I've always been slim, but I'm slim now Like my arms and stuff are a lot smaller But I still have a little belly, okay, so I'm like, I don't know what you want to call it So my struggles before as a child were Finding jeans that fit me as far as the inseam finding shirts That fit my bust area. I never had the issue with my arms, but I was a lot bigger in the chest area All right And then shoes This is just for big-feet girls, right? so jackets was an issue because I was taller and They just didn't fit and I also have broad shoulders. Sorry. That's the key. That's the key part of this So jackets would not fit my shoulders like I would want them to fit It took me many many years to figure this out, but also as a young teen They were not tall girl brands out there So I never grew up shopping at a tall girl brand. It was just not something that I did So I've always made Regular brands work for my body even if I had to get something tailored. I remember going to my first tailor when I was I think I was like 18 No, maybe I was 17 maybe 16 or 17 and I remember taking into this older couple and The pants what they fit me like right at my ankle and I bought some Material from this fabric store were like zebra print guys and I had them actually take the zebra print Put it on the pockets Put it on the belt who hooks and I had them put it at the bottom of the pants and they extended my pants Which I thought was really nice So I was like, okay This is something that I can do because I was getting frustrated not finding things But I still was able to find shirts and skirts right now the jackets if they had a larger size I would get that But even then it was still wouldn't fit properly because I had broad shoulders. So you guys know style is like Recycled over and over so now over sizes in I can definitely wear oversized things If it's like a one-size Oversize item at Frankie shop. That's perfect. It wouldn't fit me like it fits fit their models It'll fit me like a regular size shirt, right? Now as far as so that was one struggle that I had finding pants and jackets and shoes That was the solution for me back then now my solution is pretty much the same. I still have a tailor I just found the new tailor in my neighborhood, right? I like her a lot She's a little pricey, but I like her and she listens to me she's trying something for me right now with some pants and I'm noticing something and I think I found the key To buying trousers for my body type and once she does this fix I'm probably gonna do a separate video about it because there's just something that I never noticed until Today and I went to her three times to figure out what we were gonna do to these pants and Today something just ring a bell and I'm just like, okay, you're not the biggest at the bottom What is the issue with the pants that you don't like so then I went back to her today and we were like, okay We're gonna try this right so we're gonna try something out the pants were expensive So once she doesn't I'm gonna have them for a really really long time. So it doesn't matter So yes, I found a tailor in my new state that I live in another issue I was having was Spending the money off. Sorry not spending the money spending Well, maybe I could say spending money Investing in The stuff that I really wanted to invest in but I couldn't because they didn't carry my size, right? So I would do things like alright Well, maybe I can wear it cuffed up just to say that I had the item That was not really smart because what happened was I wouldn't wear the item a lot So now I'm a lot more strategic when I am buying things that Fit me or hit me right at the ankle If the jacket just hits me too close to Like my wrist area where I wanted to be a little bit longer And I don't think it has enough space to let down. I'm just gonna crop the jacket. I don't care I will crop the jacket in a second. I've done it to two jackets already and She has a jacket for me right now from Express And I'll show you guys that in a separate video because I got a cute little outfit from them But the blazer, I don't know. I just wasn't really feeling the sleeves on it So for me, that's something that I have to do. So I'll say this for women who are Struggling to find things to fit their body if they are I'm gonna say six feet to about six six feet or no, if you are struggling to find any jackets and pants Pants pants or trousers you guys a pant or pants Trousers or even denim jeans Just start to get creative if you don't want to shop at a tall girl brand. So here's the thing I Have never shopped at a tall girl brand like ever like literally, right? If I like something I'm just gonna figure out a way to make it work, right? I'm either gonna buy two Like I did with the Zara pants and I made the other piece into a skirt That's fine, right? She took half of the pants from the other one and put it on the bottom of the other pants and then made a skirt But if you're finding that you do not want to shop at tall girl brands You have to figure out which brands actually carry up to a I want to say it's 36 in seam Because it seems like a lot of girls are wearing 36 now If you find a brand that carries a 34 and you are six feet You can get those pants. They're still gonna be pretty baggy at the bottom Now you probably can't wear like a five inch heel with it Which I don't recommend with like those type of pants because usually They're supposed to kind of like drag a little bit But you could wear like maybe a three inch heel or even some flats and sneakers and still look good in them But you also will have about two inches to break maybe an inch. I Would say like an inch to bring down possibly some places you'll get like two inches and that's great, right? So Pay attention to the pants that you're buying. Let me see These are Zara, but this is like an inch That's like an inch I Already took these down Um, I took those down. I Don't did I touch these I Took these down a little bit too Um, and they just bring them down for you, right make the stuff work for you now I am not a fan of The place that I'm about to tell you guys about But they do carry They do carry a 36 in seam and some of their pants that should know but guys I didn't even know all right. I didn't even know that they carry the 36 in seam One of my clients told me that they did and I was like, wow, that's awesome, right? Because you won't it went off. I hopefully it doesn't sound crazy So basically they carry a 36 in seam In there, I think they cargo pants and like their regular denim jeans not all of them But the fact that they carry a 36 is good, right? Maybe one day they'll just have a complete tall section And you know, like I said, it's not Maybe they're not catering to us because there's less tall women than there are Petites impossibly plus size maybe But we we are here. Okay. We are here So that's a part of the struggle, you know finding the inseam that you desire for your height Um Designers luxury designers. They sometimes carry really long stuff even shoes for an example, right? When it comes to a larger size, you guys know what's up with my big old feet, right? They big they why they just I just got my mom my feet, okay and Jimmy Chew does not I Don't know. I just felt like the shoes are getting smaller I literally had to get a size 43 guys like a 43 and then I'm like, well, maybe my feet are like spreading the older I get back to possibly I'm looking at them right now That could possibly be it But who knows but that's another struggle a lot of them do go up to a size 11 but that 12 it's not something that you can often find but Luxury brands carry largest sizes So it's like you can't find the clothes, but you can find shoes But you're gonna be spending thousands of dollars for the shoes. So I was like, where is the happy medium, right? So the goal is for me I said to make sure I find things that are great quality Regardless of what I have to do to get this these items to fit me I'm gonna find things if I go to Zara. I can buy their blazers Depending on The where the blazer was made I can buy their quote-unquote satin shirts, right? Depending on where they were made. I like them the Frankie shop. They have oversized stuff So their oversized stuff will fit me like a regular shirt, but I'm okay with it because the quality is great, right? I haven't been to express in years until recently I went and I saw these just cute little suit and The 12 was fine and They were short. So I went online. They had them in long long as a 34 and I believe I'm looking at them Yeah, they're 12 long and I believe it has like an inch very inch an inch and a half to bring down possibly Yeah, possibly I'm not too sure But um, they they're nice. So that's something that I bought at a high street brand I'm just making the things work for me because the truth be told if you don't do that You're going to be so frustrated when you're shopping for clothes as a tall woman So struggling for us. It's really a thing, right? It's really a thing You see your favorite influence like you're like, oh, this is nice Child don't even come in your size like it don't come in your size. So that's why I always say My channel is really for my body type I can give tips on things because I'm a style coach, but when it comes to shopping I'm shopping for my body. I can tell you what's on sale. I can tell you what's great quality I can definitely give you ideas on what to wear to an event Right, but I'm always gonna have my style coach Hat on and I'm gonna tell you we do not shop for events Okay, that's not what we do. It's just a waste of money. Like it's a waste of money I don't even care how much money a person makes You have to have things that you can wear over and over that are excellent quality So if you are a person that likes to wear shapewear, you're not gonna go ahead and buy a Cheap shapewear if you know that you wear shapewear every single day You want to invest in something that's great, right? So it's the same for us tall women without shoes shirts pants and out of wear, right? So another struggle for us is really understanding that description and those product details that these Brands and designers have on their websites People overlook them and I don't know why because let me tell you what's in there. Let me cross my legs What's in the details are the model's height Sometimes they'll put their weight they will also have the fabric of The the material that the item is made of the percent of stretch if there's any in a whole other slew of things, right? Sometimes depending on the brand they will even tell you how to care for the item All right, the goal for us tall women is to look at the model's height If she's five ten and those pants look like they're dragging and she got like a little heel on Oh, that's for us girls at six feet, right? But if the model is five seven And it's dragging the same way. It's just not gonna work for us It's gonna hit us very very high on the ankle and we don't want to do that, right? So these struggles that we have to deal with as tall women Some may think that oh, it's not that serious But it is when you cannot just go into a store and grab something and go we will always have to tell it but to be honest Everyone should have a tailor on hand because designers do not make clothes to fit your body There's an average that they're putting right and most of us are not the average we're not we're like up and down in weight and It's just not for us, right? So for girls who have a bigger Bottom and a really small waist they have to get their pants tailored around the waist if they don't want to wear a belt you don't want to have that extra piece sitting in the back of you and You know, it's just not gonna look good when you are wearing your pants and it's just bulging out in the back Right, so it's a good idea to have a tailor to tweak things to fit your particular body type So those are my struggles and I want you guys to comment below with any of the struggles that you've had When it came to shopping and to be quite honest, it doesn't even matter if you're tall or short I know that there's struggles out there and I don't think people really talk about it because some people get extremely frustrated. I've even seen Kids cry in stores where they can't the parent can't find anything to fit them You know, maybe they are plus size possibly and they don't see anything they're trying to wear things that their friends are wearing and That's great. So It's great until you can't find something in their size, right? So people deal with these struggles and sometimes it really really takes an effect on them But I'll say this for those girls Who are struggling with finding clothes? Don't worry about what your friends are wearing worry about what what fits you what looks good on you period All right, so that's my little my little tip But yeah, so those are the struggles that I have dealt with growing up and then once I figured out my body and My what I like on my body what looks good on my body Oh, I was good after that. So now when I go to the mall, I don't really worry about What they're not gonna have for me if I find a shirt, that's it I'm going into the mall and bought nothing but a pair of like I'm like, I'm gonna get some perfume or something I'm not gonna not leave with something like I'm just because if you don't you're gonna start to feel like They never have nothing for me I do a lot of online shopping, but I do go into like Azara or something like that We don't have a ton of stores out here that I like We do have Alice in Olivia who does carry a 34. I think I think they actually go a little bit longer than that But they also have a seamstress in store. That's that's perfect, right? They're not the cheapest but the option is there, right? So Those are the struggles that us tall women deal with and I have a slew of others when it comes to like traveling and stuff But this was strictly about clothes guys because you guys know the struggle is real when we're traveling as well but If you guys need any tips or advice on places to go as a tall woman Comment below or you can even go to my Instagram at Coco styles NY NYC or Cocoa styles and why either page and you know comment on a video or you can go What the style consultation with me or head over to my tic-tac Cocoa styles NYC That goes on NYC and my style blog Cocoa styles NYC calm and my personal style services Cocoa styles NY calm guys and For those of you guys who were watching my this is so random Watching my dr.
