Why a tall figure has an advantage in vintage

Tall figure and vintage fashion, a combination that works better than many think. While today's ready-to-wear assumes an average height and lengths are a compromise, vintage eras offer more variability, and for tall figures the benefits are real.

Why Tall Figures Win in Vintage The 70s and 80s loved long lengths: maxi coats, midi skirts, long line blazers. These proportions are almost non-existent in mass fashion today, but you can easily find them in vintage. Additionally, vintage men's shirts and jackets tend to have longer sleeves than today's standard.

What to look for Coats, maxi and midi lengths from the 70s and 80s. Long line blazers. Double-breasted coats that visually lengthen the silhouette. Pants, vintage high waisted natural length pants

for longer legs (today's "regular" length is not enough for tall people). Skirts, midi and maxi lengths that you must look for today. Coats and jackets, vintage versions are generally longer in body and sleeves than today's.

What to watch out for Shoulders, men's vintage in the shoulders can still be wider than you need. Try it. The sleeve length of jackets, even vintage ones, can be short, but the choice is greater. Pants, lengths have changed over time, always measure the pants.
