Hi Tall Friends,  

I don't have any anecdotes or special announcements today! I had a really tiring weekend starting with a family sleepover (it seems to be the only way to socialize with little ones!) and ending with a birthday party for my niece, some football, and some lazy lounging. I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend also. I feel like the Christmas season is nearly upon us so I'm trying to soak up these lazy days while I can! 

I saw an ad in a fashion magazine which prompted the trends featured in this newsletter. It said "Falling for Puffy Vests. Colored pants. Chunky knits." I thought "That's it! A perfect feature!" I love all of those pieces and they speak perfectly to the fall season. I wrote about pretty puffers last week on Tall Snob. You can check out that post here. And here are just a few picks that fall into those categories (no pun intended :). 

I tried to stop at those three pieces but it looked so incomplete without a few beloved accessories!  

Trend Alert: Puffy Vest. Colored Pants. Chunky Knits.
For Her
women's tall clothing puffy vests

{Random Note}:

This week I attempted to pick pieces that could appeal to multiple age groups.  And remember the pieces I feature are only inspiration. You can take the concept and apply it in your favorite stores or in ways that feel comfortable to you!

Eddie Bauer Women's Heritage Cable Turtleneck Sweater, Heather Tan - This sweater is lovely.  A perfect neutral to layer and pair with your favorite fall pieces.

Eddie Bauer Women's Northern Aurora Down Vest, Dragonfly - This pretty but comfy vest comes in other not- so-daring shades.  I personally am in love with anything aqua, mint, or teal lately and it's a little nod to the frosty days ahead!

1969 skinny boot cords (Tall) - Another bold shade I love! These gorgeous cords come in eight colors- five of which are more neutral. I'm a huge fan of the new-ish silhouette "skinny boot" they are more fitted than your average boot cut but clearly flare rather than continuing the skinniness down to the ankle. It's a nice shape to try if you're stuck in the rut of always wearing flared or skinnies-a marriage of two popular styles.

Naturalizer "Onset" up to size 12. - These are perfect to wear under a slight flare.  And this shade of brown is a must have for fall.  Seriously. 

BP. Chunky Knit Infinity Scarf - I love chunky knits.  The color of this infinity scarf makes it a winner.

ASOS Textured Knit Tassel Scarf - As usual, when it comes to accessories I have a tough time making decisions.  So you get two choices here.  This scarf is perfect for our tall frames at almost 3 ½ feet long!  

For Him:

big and tall clothing for fall

Quilted Puffer Vest (Tall) - Puffers are perfect for men—not too trendy but still current and stylish. Picking one in a safe shade like blue makes it feel like a classic.

J Brand 'Kane' Slim Straight Leg Jeans (Buoy Red) – Most men are too afraid to wear colored bottoms. If you’re going to go for it, red is a great choice. It pairs so well with neutrals like gray, cream, and blue so you can easily tone down the rest of your look. If you’re still scared, try rust-- red’s more sensible cousin. These have a 35 inch inseam.

Men's Wool-Blend Shawl Cardigan (Tall) - I am a big fan of the shawl cardigans. They work for young men and older men alike. They’re just flattering, plain and simple.

Wolky “Cayenne” up to size 14 – The thing I love about these shoes is they’re perfect to dress up or down. Nothing says fall like sable brown suede.

Express Men’s Chunky Cable Knit Scarf Gray - This is a great staple item. Buy it!   

News, Updates, Reviews

The most exciting update is that Krista made it to LA's fashion district and picked up some tall clothing items to feature in her tall shop. How cool is that?! I can't wait to see her finds. If you didn't read her "wanted" post, take a look and let us know-what tall items would you like to see featured?

If you haven't stopped by Tall Snob lately, you've missed a breast cancer awareness post featuring styles that will benefit breast cancer research, a very pretty outfit based around a gorgeous pink trench, and an extra long sweater dress feature (among other great posts). Stop by and look around!
