If you're tall, what do you wear on a night out?

[slapmyassandcallmejudy]

I'm 5'10", in an ideal world I'd wear heels (like I did when I was 18 and didn't care) but I just don't feel comfortable in them, like I'm too tall! But any outfit I think of would end up looking too casual with flats really, and just don't feel dressy enough! Help me! I'm 27 if that helps...

I'm your height and tonight I wore a navy halterneck wide legged jumpsuit with silver sparkly sandals that have a very low wedge. I felt comfy and glam - in fact heels would've felt over done.

I'm 6ft I usually wear a vest top with a blazer sleeves pushed up with harem
Pants or boyfriend jeans with Superga's or sometimes Stan Smiths.

Used to wear heels but I can't be doing with aching feet anymore and when I go out it's all about dancing so footwear is with that in mind.

Never really wear skirts, sometimes a jumpsuit with gladiator sandals or flared trousers with slouchy top and modest jewellery, either large hoop earrings and statement ring or bangle or a statement necklace and no earrings never both. And always a clutch bag

Glamorous sandals, in this weather.

I’m quite tall (5’8”) and I wear heels because I don’t care about feeling too tall. However if I were wearing flats on a night out I’d show more arm and leg. Would you risk a short (ish) dark denim skirt, gladiator sandals and a sleeveless top? At 5’10”, your arms and legs will be your best assets.

Just to be clear, it's not that I feel too tall in heels, it's just that being over 50 my feet have had enough of them other than for the odd occasion.

I also find that I can wear more of my smarter clothes without feeling over done if I wear flatter footwear. And it feels 'younger' somehow, less 'try hard'.

See this is the thing, when I think of flats I presume a dress or skirt would look silly. So I go to high waist jeans and a nice top. Just never feels 'dressy' enough

I'm the same height as you and wear heels, mid height usually for very dressed up occasions.

For nights out I usually go flat for comfort. Last night I wore flat gold sandals with a dress on a night out, its easier to wear flats in the summer, although flat ankle boots can work well with dresses and skirts in winter.

Jumpsuit! Jumpsuit!

I'm 5'11 and wear a heel on a night out. They're all low heels though, no more than 2 inches. I'm currently wearing skinny jeans and camisole top. I recently bought a shirt dress which I have worn with flat gladiator sandals due to hot weather.

Just bought a jumpsuit from next it looks great with a wedge or low heel

I'm the same height and I struggle with this too, especially as my DH is a few inches shorter. Also I have big feet, 8 or 9 and hate shoe shopping so many outfits are ruined by not having suitable footwear.
In summer I wear birkenstocks with everything. I'd like some smarter sandals that I can dress up a bit. I wobble in pointy heels.

I’m not tall tiny in fact but have a 40th do coming up and I really want to avoid heels. Today I bought some lovely wide leg cropped trousers from Tesco. They look gorgeous with a satin cami tucked in and my strappy flat sandals. I’m really pleased with the outfit, dressy but summery and girly.

Maybe something similar would work for you.

For the tall people who are suggesting jumpsuits - where do you find ones which don't give camel toe?! I'm 5'8" with not a particularly long body and I've had limited success - a few from whistles (though it's hit and miss even in that one shop). Thanks!

Dress probably a block colour and some matching accessories with flats/sandals is what I wear but I have quite a bohemian style. I also can't wear heels because of issues with my bones. I'm 5ft 7.
