    Hi,

    to cut a long story short my girlfriend is quite tall circa 5"11 and she has very long legs (she needs at least a 36" inseam)

    She cant for the life of her find jeans long enough anywhere, shes very slim (size 10) so its gettting jeans or trousers in that size with a decent long leg is the prob, the tall shop long trousers arent long enough

    anyone with the same prob, any suggestions? cheers :)

    I'm the same height as your girlfriend and I buy trousers in Dorothy Perkins and Marks and Spencers, who both do versions of clothes for taller women. If she's into trendy/retro stuff or baggies, try the Eager Beaver in Temple Bar who do a size 6-20 in a huge range of styles and lengths.

    G'luck!

    Topshop & Dorothy Perkins TALL section's have long jeans. They're much better than a LONG leg in River Island or Warehouse

    Zara have really nice, long slack - for work n stuff.

    Yeah, 5'11" or so too.

    dorethy perkins is great, I also found that Mango had some lovely stuff which are very long too.

    Also try longtallsally.com

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    5'11" is tall, not really tall!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,647 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    Go for skirts.

    And / or leg warmers.

    And slapper boots.

    How about the three-quarter length trousers look?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,704 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    5 11" tall for a girl and she seems to have abnormally long legs, im not bragging at all its a big problem for her!

    Eager Breaver has great clothes but not for tall ladies and marks and spencer tall trousers are about 32' id say.

    Topshop Tall and Zara are the only two places I can buy my trews and Im a 36'leg. Long tall sally is upstairs in Clerys and is specific shop for tall ladies . However,the Irish buyer must be old and fuddy duddy cos the clothes are not fashionable at all but you can get some basic sportswear or khaki/cotton pants there.

    I'm 5ft 11 of the Daddy Long Legged Variety and the 36 inch leg from Top Shop are grand for me if not too long...:confused:
