It’s week two of my mission to find clothing for tall women relevant to this season’s trends and this week, I am tackling the 80s. Yes, big hair, big even bigger shoulders and lots of sequins! Check out the monochrome clutch above from Amazona Style - perfect for storing your essentials on a stylish night out!

Or, even better, you can pretend that you’ve walked straight out of Dynasty with this amazing black jumpsuit from Dorothy Perkins’ ever-faithful Tall range. Team with a pair of killer heels, a clutch just like the one above and a perm for the ultimate in 80s chic! Or try this fantastic tunic with a pair of leggings for an equally stylish look!

Brogues are the perfect androgynous look, yet adding heels make the look more feminine. Team with big shoulders and wide leg trousers for the perfect casual 80s sports look.

When we saw this in the Amazona office, we all went seriously crazy! Sequins? Check. Shoulders? Check. Body-con? Check. Suitable for tall girls? CHECK!! Topshop have reigned supreme here with this absolutely gorgeous sequin tunic. If you’ve got fab legs, team with heels and deniers for a sexy 80s siren look!

If you’re noticing a lack of colour here, don’t worry - so are we! Luckily black and white monochrome was oh-so-hot in the 80s, so you’re not missing out this time! Though, we do agree that it would be nice to see some brights on the tall racks soon! And, no! Plain t-shirts do not count!
