We all have that one friend who is always getting asked if she’s a model. She’s not, but her height makes her look like it. Tall girls know what it’s like to feel a little insecure about wearing heels sometimes.
There was a time when I felt like tall girls shouldn’t be wearing heels but when I became friends with my bestie, I realized that even tall girls want to rock heels but a lot of them are afraid to do so. I will share some of the things she did to become confident while wearing heels. Now she wears her heels like a pro.
So, I’ve put together some tips and tricks for you, this will show you how to be confident wearing heels as a tall girl so that you can feel great in your heels and strut them with pride.
How to Feel Confident Wearing Your Heels
Majorly, you can feel confident wearing your heels by standing tall and straight, owning your height with confidence when you step out in your high heels. Below are some other ways on how to gain confidence as a tall girl wearing heels:
1. Know your heel height limits
As a tall girl, you need to know your heel height limits. Don’t wear heels that are too high: Wearing heels that are too high can cause you to fall on your face.
Don’t buy shoes that don’t fit: Your feet will get sore from wearing shoes that don’t fit properly and if the shoe doesn’t fit, then it won’t look good either. If possible, try on the shoe before purchasing so you know exactly what size fits best on you.
2. Don’t be afraid of colors
One of the best ways to make your outfit pop is to wear colors. You don’t have to stick with black or brown, and you can go crazy with the colors you choose. Try wearing a bright red top with your favorite pair of jeans and heels, or try contrasting your outfit by wearing a fun print like leopard print or florals over a more neutral color base. It’s completely up to you.
When it comes down to it, confidence is all about how you feel on the inside. And when you’re confident in yourself, nobody else’s opinion matters. No matter what other people may say about how tall girls shouldn’t wear heels, as long as you feel good about yourself then that’s all that matters when it comes down to it. So, don’t hesitate to try as many colors as you want.
3. Have confidence
Being confident in your own skin can help you feel more comfortable with the way you look and act, even if that means wearing heels as a tall girl. It’s also important to remember that confidence comes from within, so try to focus on ways you can love yourself for who you are instead of comparing yourself with others.
Remember that being different and standing out can be good things. If everyone else is wearing flats when you want to wear heels, go ahead and stand out by being bold and trying something new, don’t let other people’s opinions dictate how you live your life. You do not need their approval to be happy with who you are or what you wear.
4. Wear heels in the right size
You might be tempted to wear heels that are too small or too big. This is a mistake. If they’re too small, you risk getting blisters and discomfort. And if they’re too big, you’ll have trouble balancing yourself.
The right size is going to feel comfortable and look good on you. Shoes that are just right won’t pinch or stretch out as the day goes on, but they also won’t be so loose that they slip off your feet every time you take a step.
5. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t wear heels
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t wear heels. There are many tall women who rock their heels, and it’s important to remember that there is no one way to be tall. I don’t want to hear any excuses as to why you don’t wear heels or why they aren’t for everyone; there’s nothing wrong with being tall, so stand up straight and strut your stuff.
6. Wear more solid heels
It’s true that solid heels will make you look more stable and help you to walk more confidently. They are also much more comfortable, forgiving, flattering, and versatile. Solid heels are professional too which means they’re a better choice if you have an interview or meeting coming up.
Solid heels might not be as stylish as towering stilettos but they will certainly make your legs look longer and leaner while giving them a real boost of confidence too.
7. Make your comfort a priority
If you’re worried about your comfort in heels, it’s best to look for a pair that will make you feel good. The last thing you want is to spend the evening hobbling around in heels that are too high or uncomfortable. If the shoes are hurting your feet, don’t wear them.
Here’s what you should look for:
- Heel height should be proportional to your shoe size (if you’re a size 9 and have narrow feet, choose a heel height of no more than 4 inches).
- Narrow shoes are better than wide ones, wide widths might slip off easily or chafe against your skin. Also, consider widths when purchasing sandals; if they fit snugly on your toes, they’ll likely be comfortable enough so long as they aren’t too tight at the top of your foot where it bends inward toward the center.
How to Style Heels As a Tall Girl
When it comes to styling heels, there are a few things you can do to help make the most of your height.
1. Wear heels with a dress or skirt
One of the best ways for tall girls to wear heels is by pairing them with flowing fabrics, such as dresses or skirts. This will elongate your legs even more and make them appear longer than they already are.
2. Wear heels with a casual outfit
Here are a few tips to help you rock heels with casual outfits:
Wear jeans and a t-shirt
Heels will look best with this simple outfit. You can buy a pair of high heels that match your t-shirt, or choose ones that bring out the colors in your jeans. If you want to go for something more formal, try wearing leather ankle boots instead of sneakers or sandals.
Wear heels with a dress
A dress is perfect for showcasing how tall you are by adding height to your silhouette. Try wearing an A-line skirt or maxi dress so that your curves stand out even more than usual.
Wear heels with leggings or skinny jeans
Pair some dark wash skinny jeans with black ankle boots or knee-high boots and show off how long those legs really are. You can also look for great leggings to pair with your heels. Couple them with a nice top or crop top, and you are rocking the world.
3. Wear heels with a business outfit
Dress your heels up with a suit: This is all about finding the right fit. Your suit should be fitted and not too loose, but it also shouldn’t be so tight either. A nice blazer will do the trick. If you want to go for something more casual, try pairing your heels with jeans or even shorts in summertime (just make sure they aren’t too high and that there’s plenty of room between your legs when sitting down).
Dress your heels down with a blazer: You don’t have to completely dress up every look. Try pairing some simple black slacks with an oversized button-down shirt and some cool kicks for an unexpected twist on this classic combination. And if you really want to mix things up further, then add some color.
4. Wear heels with a formal outfit
Wearing heels with a formal outfit is one of the most common ways to dress up for an event. After all, there are tons of special occasions that require you to wear heels: weddings, proms, and job interviews are just a few examples.
If you’re going on a date or attending a fancy party at work, wearing heels can help make you look more polished and put together. If your outfit has some sort of pattern or texture going on in terms of its color scheme or design motifs like stripes or polka dots, then it might look better when paired with platform heels rather than stilettos because they create less contrast against the clothes’ patterns/colors.
