Pantsuits are your best friends. Pantsuits tend to look fuller and more balanced on tall women because of their stature. Said article of clothing tend to make short people (>5’5) look shorter than they are and just aren’t as flattering without a pair of stiletto heels. (Example of this difference below, sorry Hillary.)

Opt for clothing that have cinched waists. Tall women tend to have thinner bodies with less waist definition. Always try to buy curve-hugging clothing— especially dresses —-for it will exaggerate the shape of your waist and give you a more model-esque look!
Your heels don’t need to be high! Because of your height, you can get away with wearing kitten heels and flats with staples that often require a bit of height to maneuver in, such as long dresses and [long] skirts.
Avoid low-rise bottoms. They will make your legs look disproportionate in relationship to your body and will not give the needed definition to your waist.
Be careful when layering clothing articles. If you layer too many articles that are polar opposites (such as a tiny top and a bulky coat), you can end up looking like a chaotic catastrophe.
