Every Single Celeb Over 5’8″ Owns These 3 Basics

I’ve already discussed the fall trends I’m wearing as a 5’10”
fashion editor, but in case you’d like a tall celebrity’s
point of view, I’ve got you covered there too. Celebrities often
get a bad rap for being unrelatable, but there’s plenty of
ways you can identify with them if you pay close enough attention.
Case in point: celebrities over 5’8″ often wear wardrobe basics
that all tall girls rely on time and time again.

For instance, Serena Williams (5’9″) and Blake Lively (5’10”)
are both on the same page about which fall jacket trend to try,
while Nicole Kidman (5’10”) and Karlie Kloss (6’2″) are in
agreement over the practical yet chic shoes that don’t add
unneeded height. Scroll down to shop the basics tall celebrities
always wear.

Taller women often have broader shoulders, making certain
clothing items a challenge. Speaking from personal experience,
well-fitting jackets are particularly hard to find for my tall
frame. I always need to size up so that it fits in the shoulders,
but then it often ends up being too large elsewhere. Other than
getting a tailor involved, my key is to find relaxed,
loosely-fitting jackets, which are much easier for tall women to
wear straight off the rack.

No, I’m not here to say that taller women can’t wear heels. It’s
just that many of us choose to wear more practical footwear so we
don’t stick out like a sore thumb—celebrities included. At 5’11”,
Nicole Kidman knows the power of a fancy flat, which can be just as
dressy as any pair of heels in existence.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Long legs are a major perk of
being tall, and celebrities like 5’10” Zendaya and 5’9″ Gywneth
Paltrow know how to take full advantage.
