Layering knitwear 'good for tall people'

09/10/2009

Layering various knitwear items can look fantastic on taller women, an expert has said.

Writing for the Irish Independent, Roxanne Parker gave some tips on how to wear this season's must-have items.

A 'coatigan' - a cross between a coat and a cardigan - is "big news", she said, as the oversized style is comfortable yet stylish and practical.

Putting this together with a thinner jumper underneath and twisted scarves in contrasting colours is a lovely look for girls with a bit more height, Ms Parker suggested.

Belting a cardigan also looks chic and classy, especially if teamed with black leggings for a "cool urban day" ensemble, she added.

No matter what height you are, pairing some sheepskin style boots with skinny jeans or denim leggings is bang on trend this season.

Why not accessorise by taking inspiration from the catwalk and go for a sheepskin bag, gloves or a fluffy handmuff?
