Trousers/jeans/trackies for Tall women?

Dublin25

Hi All!

Looking to know if anyone knows of shops that still feature a tall section inwithin the shop?
I'm 5ft 11 and for years could rely on the likes of Dorothy Perkins, New Look for a good tall section within their shops. However for the last few months these places have gotten rid of their tall section and only sell online (now a limited section online).

I'm not a huge online shopping fan as I love to be able to try on before buying, so I'm starting to now struggle to refresh my trousers/trackie/jeans wardrobe. By the way the I need over a 34in leg.

Anyone any ideas of shops I could try?

Next do a long leg, I am only a 32 myself but always finding longer legs. Also Awear always seem to have either short or long legs left in their sale jeans which I buy and shorten hem. As regards tracksuit ends again on the sale rail in pineapple in Debenhams I am always seeing the longer legs or those 3 quarter does which you could get away with in the summer. I am in Waterford but it's probably the same all around.

Hi

Thanks for reply.
Awear are very much hit and miss for their leg length, even advertised as 34 they can be shorter, not to mention the waist size. I do raid the rails though but don't get much by the way of results.

Next are the same - though they have a good online section. I just am a bit nervous of online shopping (silly i know!)

Will have a look at debenhams though.

Only and Vero Moda do 34 length jeans. Levi's do a 36.

Twee.

Have you tried Topshop? They do a 36 inch leg. A little more expensive but could be worth if they fir properly!

I know you're not a fan of online shopping but if you can't find anything else then try longtallsally.com

Their clothes are very good quality, a bit expensive, but they design exclusively for tall women so their fit is better than high street stores who just stick a couple of inches onto the end of their jeans and expect that to do.

If you sign up to their newsletter, they occasionally do pop up shops in Ireland (although not all that often)

At 6'1 I am the queen of tall people shops in Dublin.

Marks and Spencers have most of their trousers in a longer length size. I also find them to be very reasonably prices as well. Pennys also have started doing trousers in a longer length.

I find Vero Moda,Vila and Only all very good for longer sleeved tops and longer length trousers. Stradvarius,Bershka and Zara also can do longer length trousers, and longer arm tops.

I used to love topshop tall but haven't brought anything there in 4 years. The prices are crazy for the quality of the clothes they are selling.

Thanks for the replies!

panda100 - never would have thought of Marks, Pennies i noticed started and got good pair of skinny jeans from them, just lately they aren't fitting properly everywhere else (assuming its just the jeans and not me lol)

I agree with you on Topshop, prices are crazy for what you get.

Re Long tall sally - have tried a few times but I found them very expensive and slightly older fashioned styling. I was at one of their pop up shops and was extremely disppointed in the range. Do find their pj's and dressing gowns amazingly comfy and long!!!!

Thanks All!

Me neither. I only discovered their excellent range of long length trousers about two months ago when I was dragged in by my mum to look at shoes. I find M+S tights always too short for me, so had always given them a wide berth. Am glad I went in as got a gorge pair of long length tanned skinny jeans that are my new wardrobe staple.
