I Have a Wedding This Fall — What Should I Wear If I’m Tall?

Let’s be honest: wedding guest dress shopping as a tall woman is usually an exercise in frustration.

You find the perfect color, the ideal silhouette, but then:

• The waist hits mid-ribcage.
• The hem is way too short.
• The sleeves are closer to elbow length.

And fall weddings? They call for coverage and style.

Fabrics + Styles to Look for in Fall

🌞 Satin or Crepe Midis
Elegant with a little structure. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies.

🍃 Velvet Wrap Dresses
Rich and warm for cooler temps. Wrap styles are flattering on tall frames.

🫀 Maxis with Sleeves
Long-sleeved maxis are great for coverage and feel ultra-polished.

🛀 Jewel Tones + Earthy Colors
Think wine, forest green, navy, and chocolate—fall color palettes that complement every skin tone.

Styling Tips for Tall Women at Fall Weddings

🪥 Try Heels if You Want To (But You Don’t Have To)
Own your height with confidence. Block heels, platforms, or even stylish flats can all work.

🌌 Layer Smartly
Bring a cropped blazer, tailored shawl, or longline coat for chilly evening temps.

👕 Pay Attention to Necklines
Square, V-neck, and asymmetric styles break up a long torso beautifully.

🛋️ Accessorize Thoughtfully
A bold earring or a small clutch can add personality without overwhelming your frame.
