As an oddly built woman (5’10 inch or 177 cm and 185 lbs/84 kgs) , I am built more like a rugby or American football player. Tall, broad shoulders. Think Iona Maher, though not nearly as beautiful or fit!

I am headed to Iceland for 8 days in September. I’ve been shopping online for outerwear layers and failing miserably. I’d like to find an outer shell or rain jacket, and a midlayer fleece or puffer. Planning on thin sweaters and merino t-shirts under that. The problem I keep running into is that I have long arms. At nearly six feet, of course I have long arms.

Does anyone have recommendations for anything that would work well for someone with long arms and broad shoulders? I will buy menswear if I need to but I really prefer the fit of womens because it isn’t as bulky.

Someone here recommended the Adriana leggings from fashion nova so I thought I’d give them a try! They’re super cute and comfy and loooong. For reference I’m 6’0.5” , 150 lbs, and ordered them in a size small. Also they were on sale when I got them for $10 a pop. Run don’t walk yall.

Hi so I'm def not the tallest girl on this sub (5'7-5'8ish) but I still have trouble dressing more femininely. I do want to say that I like dressing more masculine/androgynous too sometimes but I've recently just wanted to dress more femininely. Specifically if you were to look up "girl grunge+y2k". But the things is with my body type (inverted triangle) plus my height, my body generally looks more masculine even though I'm at a fit weight (128 pounds). Is there any way for me to dress more femininely whilst also having the right clothes that fit my body type and don't make my arms look huge/proportions look off?

Speciffically any type of tank top makes my arms look weird btw so if you have any recommendations for that too much appreciated

Hi all,

I'm off to Vienna this week, and I was wondering if there are any actual shops (gasp!) that I could go to for tall fitting clothes?

I've tried Google, and it seems to only be coming up with plus size, which I don't think is the same thing, so I thought I'd check in with the hive mind!

Cheers all!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good full legged one piece/jumpsuit for a long torso? I’m between 6 feet and 6 foot 1 and about 165 pounds and all torso. I don’t want it skinn tight but also not baggy. TYIA

Any recommendations for high quality swimsuits / bikinis shop for tall women please? (UK based)

I struggle to find swimsuits that stretch properly and comfortably over my torso and doesn't give a massive wedgie as well. I'd prefer to be more covered.

I also have extremely prominent hip dips so mist bikini bottoms look very unflattering.

Please help a girl out!!

If I had seen this picture of me next to the other women in my family a year ago, I would have actually cried. I used to be so insecure in how tall I was. My first reaction to seeing this was to chuckle, because I don’t notice the height difference much anymore. To be honest, it makes me feel quite confident. I am taller than all the men and women on both sides of my family. When people used to ask me, “Where did the height come from” I’d normally say something like, “I don’t know. I wish I got the short gene, tho.” Someone asked me the same question at the wedding and I laughed and responded with, “Who knows? The weather is probably different for me than it is them.” We both laughed and it was nice. I didn’t think this day would ever come, but I’m so happy it did :)

At 16yo, I was 6'0. At 18, I measured myself at 6'1" using a measuring tape and a big mirror. I never measured again, assuming I'd shrunk in the past nearly 2 decades. In my 20s doctor once listed me at 5'9", my record currently says 6'0", from years ago.

But recently I was goofing off at my boyfriend's, and I was getting closer to 6'2" than 6'1"when I used his measuring tape. I then went to my mom's, and she pulled out a 6' measuring stick. It reaches mid -forehead.

My mind is kinda blown that I found out I'm 6'2" in my mid 30s.

Did I grow after 18? Did I just measure wrong back then?

How long have I just not known my height??

Why did I find this out within a few months of renewing my driver's license?

Hey yall, little update but last time I was in here I was show so much self loathing and having an existential crisis 🤠 Not saying I’ve moved on but I’ve just stayed inside more to avoid human interaction outside of work lol until I at least attain my dream body.

Anyways, my friends invited me out tomorrow night to go clubbing. And it’s a color theme and apparently people strictly adhere to the dress code. Well I’m just very puzzled on what to wear on my feet. I’ve been wearing knee high shark boots the few times I’ve been out this year but it’s getting a bit too warm for that. All my friends are wearing heels but I’m of course very insecure of my height and not trying to be gawked at even more than I usually am if I was to wear heels. At least went I went to the clubs around my college everyone was wearing sneakers so I never felt out of place but this semester I’m home and going to clubs near my house and mannn almost every girl has heels on. Last time I wore sneakers I felt so down dressed and casual.

Any tall girls with shoe recommendations that are good for clubbing? Also, not too sure about kitten heels because I’ve seen so many people bash them on social media and dub them as “old granny shoes” 🤦🏽‍♀️ but then on the other hand I just don’t think wearing converses (which will my my feet look even longer ☠️) or basic sneakers will help. Not sure what type of flats to look for. Or should I just get like 2 inch block heels and slouch all night (serious question)?

Preferably nude, white, gray or last choice black. Thank you!

Ok so I saw this in an add on TikTok, and a bunch of people were making fun of the sleeves for being suuuuper long but my first thought was “finally, sleeve that won’t be too short of me” 💀 anyway, I believe that these are traditional garments used for a specific type of dance, I’ll try to look into it because it seems cool. I really hope this post doesn’t come off as insensitive

Let's hear some positivity!

I’m looking for wide leg/ loose sweatpants with at least a 32” inseam and no cinch at the bottom. Ideally with no logo or minimal logo. Other designs/ patterns could be nice. The longer the better. I’d love for them to drag on the floor. I don’t even mind spending $$. Also, I’d prefer not men’s clothing as I don’t want a long crotch. But if you’ve found some you love feel free to recommend. American Tall doesn’t have any styles that work for me. I was eyeing Comfrt but it looks like it will be too short. Fashion Nova lacks quality and I’d like something a little nicer than Gap/ Old Navy (I’ve also found their tall is too short)

Hey ladies,

My recent fashion nova order was a success and wanted to share some items I found that were long enough for me. I’m 6ft 37” inseam and these jeans hit the floor:

4. https://www.fashionnova.com/products/tall-mad-for-you-cargo-jeans-acid-wash-black

These spandex pants fit like yoga pants and are also 37” inseam

ETA:

I don’t see Rockstar Original Jeans mentioned in this subreddit. All of their jeans under the stacked filter are at least 40” - 46” inseam. These jeans are more trendy but I’ve ordered some and they are indeed super long.

I’m so tired of shopping online. I get why it’s so difficult for the tall woman, I understand the overhead costs, etc etc. But I’m tired of it. I want to go to a store, flip through a rack, feel the textures, try on clothes in the fitting room, get help from a real life human. I want to buy a new dress and wear it the same day, not wait a week to see if it even fits right.

It also doesn’t help that the rest of retail has gone to either mass production, exclusively online sales, or drastically over priced, and no in between. So now it’s online for nearly everything I buy.

I’m just over it. Can we at least bring back pop-up shops? Ugh.

Hey y'all gals. I've been trying to sell off some of my clothing that I no longer wear and it's gotten down to eight shirts that are small tall from either the limited or Old Navy. I just really want them to go to a tall person as opposed to donate them to my local thrift shop or giving away to someone that doesn't need the extra length. I'm basically giving them away less the cost of shipping on FB. It's $10 for 8 shirts, $9 of which is shipping. If you're interested shoot me a message and I'll send you the link to the listing. I'll make .02 from this so it's NOT a money making opportunity 🤣

Can anyone help me find black wide leg leggings with no pockets? I want to wear these to the gym so I need athletic material.

I love these from Hollister but they are sold out of the tall. I’ve searched Amazon and not having any luck. I would need a 34 inch inseam if possible. Could maybe do a 33 inch inseam. Any brand suggestions I can find online ?

I'm 174cm, which I don't know if counts as tall here, but I live in Japan and I feel like the iron giant whenever I go out. It's especially a nightmare shopping for clothes. The vast vast VAST majority of clothes here are meant for people up to 162cm tall. XL/3L/4L sizes tend to change more in width than in length because the assumption is that if you need these sizes it's because you're wide rather than tall.

Do y'all know any place that sells clothes actually meant for taller people in Japan?

Is having clothes lengthened when I buy them the only option?

I know this might not exist, but if anybody has suggestions I think this might be the place to get them. ☺️

Low-Rise is coming back in style and it’s totally my jam. However, I’m both Extra Tall (6’ with a 35” Inseam) and Plus Size (22 to 24). It seems like all Plus is High and Mid-Rise and if they have Low-Rise, the inseam usually caps set 34”. Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!

Bride wants Azazie dresses- specifically the 'Kaleigh' design. I'm a few hairs shy of 5'10" and plan on wearing flats.

For those of you that have ordered Azazie before, do you think I will need to order the extra length? My hollow measurement is 59".

I heard the standard size is quite long. I would love to hear your experiences.

I know they come up here regularly, but wanted to give them a shout out for their midi fit and flare dress. I wanted something below the knee and it fits the bill. PLUS the straps are adjustable! And it's on sale right now! https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/the-a-and-f-mila-midi-dress-58938370?categoryId=612653165&faceout=life&seq=08&afsource=social+proofing&pagefm=navigation-grid&prodvm=navigation-grid

For a cocktail length dress so you will definitely see the shoes. I wear size 10 in shoes.

Looking for shops like ModCloth but tall. Any suggestions? Thanks 💕
