Happy Tuesday y’all! Why is it happy if it’s thunder storming outside and we’re in the throes of some full-on Fall weather, you ask? Because today is the day we start sharing some of the amazing goodies we received from Amalli Talli that you need in your closet for the upcoming Fall/Winter months. We teased it on Instagram last week, but we’re stocked up and ready to answer all of your sizing questions and give you the complete rundown on our experience with their new drops. So without further adieu, let’s get to it!

Starting off strong today with their Leopard sweater, this is a must-have! Obviously we’ve made no bones about our love of all things animal print. One of the best things about being tall is our ability to pull off large prints. You might be thinking, well prints aren’t as versatile as plain colors. I think we all can agree that leopard print is neutral at this point, so you can wear it with just about anything.

Plus, the colors within the print are tan, white, and black. For those of us that struggle to figure out what colors to wear to help make your outfit cohesive – this sweater is made for you! Right off the bat, you can choose any one or all of those colors to build your look. For the first way I styled it, I wanted a night out look. I bought these leather-look pants last year and have been able to wear them easily with sweaters for a classier look without sacrificing warmth. Caitlin bought a different brand this year and she loves them equally as much.

Just to give you a refresher on Amalli Talli, this small business is founded by our height twins, Amy, and Alli (our height twins means they are 5’11 and 6’4 like us!). Right away, you can feel a sense of authenticity they bring to their business, being tall women themselves. Often, we’ve felt the pain of trying on “tall” clothing only to assume that we must be too tall or shaped differently than other tall women. Caitlin and I are relieved to discover that this is NOT the case when shopping at a true tall retailer.

So with that all noted, let’s talk fit. I’m wearing a size medium in this sweater. I’m broad-shouldered and with more structured shirts I’d wear between a 10/12 and that’s mainly for my shoulders. As you can tell, the sweater has some room to it. It is not meant to be an over-sized look, more of a crew neck almost fitted. Basically we’d tell you to size down, as we’d usually order a Large for most sweaters. If you’d prefer it to be an over-sized look, stick to your usual size, and it will work just as well. The length hits me right around the midway point of my butt/and above the crotch so I don’t think I’d style this with leggings for my preferences. However, maybe we can have Caitlin try out this look for reference if it interests any of you!

I like that although it’s hitting me on my widest point, it doesn’t billow out to make my midsection look larger. The material is thick and cozy, which you know is a prerequisite for our love. The best part is there is nothing itchy about this material whatsoever. I can’t tell you how much I struggle with falling in love with a sweater and then putting in on my sensitive skin only to realize I’d either have to wear another layer or give up on it. There is nothing but pure comfort and softness to this material.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the sleeve length. I’m pretty sure I have a longer wingspan than 6’4, but the length is right there for me and then some. Ladies, you know we don’t take this for granted. Our wrists shouldn’t suffer through another Winter when this sweater is available to take home! To sweeten the pot, even more, we’re ecstatic to share that we’ve got a code for 15% off for you to use. THEREALTALL15 is up and running for you to snag some perfectly proportioned items. Plus, stay tuned because this is just the tip of the iceberg of items we’ll be sharing!

Also, if you’re chomping at the bits waiting to make an order from their newest drop please feel free to message us for sizing in regards to: The moto jacket, the striped sweater, the gray knit cardigan, the ribbed duster, and the favorite crew tanks. We have both tried all of these items on and would love to help you if you’re questioning sizing before we can get our full reviews posted!
