Clothes for tall and skinny?

Ok so I'm almost 5'8 tall and I weight about 119 pounds. I have a lot of trouble finding clothes that looks good on me. I feel like everything just fits me awkwardly. It's especially hard because most people my height and weight are flat chested which is not the case for me. So any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I feel you I'm the same I weigh 120 and I'm 5'8 and I'm NOT flat chested I wear 38c so it looks a little awkward. I wear looser clothing so I don't look weird and I get a lot of my clothes a little bigger so they aren't hugging me if you know what I mean.;) I get a lot of my jeans and pants at the gap. Hope this helped I know how you feel!

Well I'm not tall but j am very skinny. I weigh 97 lbs and I'm 5'2. I've seen that it's not a good idea to wear such loose clothing because it can emphasize the skinnyness. It's better to wear fitted clothes but not too fitted. I find that I like to wear A line dresses, as they highlight my small waist and I wear fitted shirts and well-fitted jeans/pants. Also I feel that leggings with long shirts flatter me pretty well.

Thanks guys. Darlene I have also noticed that loose clothing didn't look good on me. I feel like it swallows me.

Yeha I'd suggest staying away from that type of clothes. I'd suggest even looking at pictures of what runway models wear, you seem to have that type of frame.

I'm 5'9 and around the same weight and I get my jeans from American eagle. You can buy/ order them in long and extra long! So they fit well and aren't too short lol.

Try stores like: H&M or Urban Outfitters. when buying pants or jeans make sure they are LONG so they will fit well since you are really tall.
