Here are some options we like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lands End Tall Women&#8217;s Crops and Capris<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asos.com\/us\/women\/tall\/cat\/?cid=18984\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASOS Women&#8217;s Tall<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li>Long Tall Sally Capris<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay attention to the hemline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/capri-pants\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">capri pants<\/a>, aim for a hemline that ends about mid-calf. Some longer capris extend down to the ankle, and these can look like high-waters on a tall girl. And, as a general rule of thumb, the most flattering pant is the one that ends at the point where your leg begins to narrow. For most of us, this is mid-calf or lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose your top wisely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"179\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/asos-capris.png\" alt=\"Tall woman wearing long top and wide-legged capris\" class=\"wp-image-117957\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/asos-capris.png 179w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/asos-capris-114x300.png 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What you wear with your capris can rebalance your whole body. To make your legs look longer, reach for a shorter top. If you feel like your legs are already eight miles long, a tunic is the right choice. It&#8217;ll elongate your upper body and put those long legs of yours in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try wide-legged cropped pants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"355\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/wide-legged-crops.jpeg\" alt=\"Black and white striped wide-legged crop pants for tall girls\" class=\"wp-image-117955\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/wide-legged-crops.jpeg 355w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/wide-legged-crops-202x300.jpeg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Taller ladies, you\u2019re in luck! While wide-legged cropped pants appear boxy on shorter ladies, they look great on longer legs. However, you\u2019ll want to prevent the outfit from looking too baggy by sporting the capris with a fitted top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"312\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tall-culottes.png\" alt=\"Navy wide legged crop pants for tall women\" class=\"wp-image-117956\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tall-culottes.png 312w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tall-culottes-205x300.png 205w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose fun flats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your choice of shoe also adds balance where you need it. Capris do a good job at elongating the legs without much help. If you pair them with heels, you&#8217;ll draw all eyes to those legs \u2014 which is great when you feel like making a runway statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On other days, a chic pair of flats work beautifully with capris. Your casual options include sneakers and ballet flats. For a dressier look, try gladiator sandals or embellished flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opt for neutral colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid crazy patterns or colors when shopping for capri pants. Instead, stick with a neutral color that won\u2019t draw attention to your lower half. If you want the vibrancy of a bright color or pattern, well, that&#8217;s what tops are for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pecan-neutral-capris.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117958\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pecan-neutral-capris.png 400w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pecan-neutral-capris-242x300.png 242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Capris are not easy for most women to pull off. And things get even more complicated when you&#8217;re tall. Even so, you don&#8217;t have to skip out on this classic spring style entirely \u2014 it takes only a little savvy shopping to let those lower calfs see the light of day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may like these posts too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/got-thick-calves-try-these-shoes-tricks\/\">Got Thick Calves?
