The Tall Girls Are Back ❤️

If you are taller than 5’8″ you are considered to be tall & if you’re a tall woman, chances are you’ve been told “you’re lucky — you can wear anything.” While there’s some truth in that, great style is about more than just height. It’s about proportion, silhouette and pieces that make you feel & look good

At Artichoke, we believe that being tall is a brilliant starting point — and with the right wardrobe staples, you can make the most of every inch.

Here’s what works, and why:

1. Straight-Leg & Wide-Leg Jeans

A tall woman’s best friend. Straight-legs create long, clean lines, while wide-leg styles balance your height and offer effortless polish.

Why it works: These shapes let your legs do the talking, without looking too skinny or too flared.


2. High-Waisted & Cropped Trousers

High-waists cinch you in and elongate the legs even further, while cropped trousers show just the right amount of ankle — chic and modern, especially in spring and summer.

Why it works: These styles define your waist and create visual balance — no more “too much fabric” moments.


3. Floaty Midis & Maxis

Maxi dresses are made for tall frames. Whether tiered, wrap or shirt-style, they flow beautifully and make a statement. Look for fitted bodices or belted waists to shape your figure.

Why it works: Longer hemlines work with, not against, your height — these dresses skim rather than swamp.


4. Boat Necks & Wide Necklines

A clever way to broaden the shoulders subtly, adding symmetry to your silhouette.

Why it works: It balances out longer limbs and draws attention upward — especially flattering with short hairstyles or statement earrings.


5. Pointed Flats & Statement Sandals

You don’t need to wear heels unless you want to. Pointed-toe flats are incredibly elegant, and chunky sandals or platform espadrilles look balanced and stylish on longer legs.

Why it works: The right shoe grounds your outfit without overcompensating for height.

As we all know style is about knowing what suits you — and celebrating what makes you unique. Being tall gives you natural presence, and the right pieces will make you feel even more confident.
