For Clarke
My friend Clarke has a very striking style. And I love how unique it is to her and how she owns it. She’s also a fellow tall girl standing at 5 feet 9 inches tall. Today we wanted to feature her exclusive tall style on our blog!
“I like to emphasize my height. I like being tall!” – Clarke
How do you feel about fashion?
Fashion is very interesting to me because I feel like its a medium to express yourself and tell a story about yourself before someone even meets you or starts talking to you. Also, it tends to be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Some days you throw on whatever you feel like at the moment, and some days an outfit can be like a work of art if you want it to. I feel like the way clothes are put together, the combination of colors and textures, can even be compared to the way a painter or any other artist arranges colors and textures on their canvas.
How does your height influence how you dress?
Personally, I’ve grown to really enjoy my height. I remember when I was younger I used to downplay it, but now I definitely embrace it! Sometimes my biggest challenge, though, is finding pants that fit well. If it fits my waist well it tends to run too short length-wise a lot of the time, and if I buy a pair of pants for the length it’ll be too loose around the waist. Sometimes I combat this by just cuffing my pants at the bottom so that the shortness then becomes an intentional fashion move! haha . Otherwise, I just shop at places like Gap and Old Navy for example, that have “tall” sizes.
Advice on owning your own style:
Wear what you like! Honestly, it’s as simple as that. Most often, I pick one item of clothing or shoes that I just feel like wearing that day and I arrange everything else around that. Also, experiment often! You don’t have to get stuck in one particular style. Personally, I feel like my style is always changing and evolving. Finally, don’t be afraid to buy things in a color you don’t “usually wear” . For example, for the longest time, I wanted these black Vans sk8 highs….but when I finally saved up and went to the store to buy them I realized 1) I have too many black shoes lol and 2) sooo many people buy their sk8 highs in black …so I got some tie-die blue ones! and now they’re one of my favorite shoes.
