Shop at the right stores. Many stores don't have clothing for tall people in the right size. Find a store in your area that caters specifically to tall people. If you don't have any luck, do your shopping online. You'll find a larger selection and sizes that will work for you.

Learn to deal with sticking out in a crowd. If you're quite a bit taller than most people, others' eyes will naturally be drawn to you because you stick out. This is just a fact of being tall that you must accept. The best part of this is that if you're in a crowded area such as a concert, you'll never have any trouble seeing over everybody else.

Prepare yourself for uncomfortable public transportation. Buses, trains and airplanes all have small, crowded seats that were definitely not made with tall people in mind. Having to squeeze your long legs into tight places can be annoying and unpleasant. If you can afford first-class seats you won't have to deal with this problem, but most tall people will simply have to accept the inconvenience.
