Default Hey tall chicks Where do you shop?

I have the hardest time finding pants long enough? So where do you find clothes in tall sizes?

Oh man, I used to buy long pants from Levi, and Old Navy, but they are still way too short. I have found a new love for New York and Company. Their longs are actually long! And online they make shirts for tall people.

Old navy online has tall sizes, both pants and shirts but i have never ordered. gap sizes i've heard are good for tall people. Me, sometimes i can find levis in tall sizes at kohls, and some other brands run long, i just have to try a bunch on.
I am tall (6'0) but my torso is longer than my legs, so most tall brands fit me, its shirts that i have a problem with

Thumbs up Love NY&Co.!!

I too am in love with New York & Co. particularly their selections of pants. They make their longs in the legs, they have dress pants, jeans, knit pants, workout pants. I don't shop anywhere else now for pants. I've been getting a flurry of emails from them the past few weeks about free shipping, BOGO, buy one get 50% another.

Old Navy has pants long enough for me but I find they are cheaply made and do not last very long. I also love NY & CO, Gap and Macy's, I find I have good luck at these places.

Than ks for the tip on NY&Co. I have never shopped there! didn't realize that they had talls. Do they carry talls in the store? If so...I'm going today!

Pants for work and more formal occasions are the hardest for me to find. Jeans and casual pants are a little easier. I just don't get why every store has a petite department but noone has a tall department!

I've very nearly had a meltdown this week trying to find jeans that are long enough. I finally got lucky at the Gap yesterday, and the sales associate told me they don't usually carry longs, so somebody must have ordered them online and returned them!

Eddie Bauer also has long length pants, but you usually have to order online. Victoria Secret also has a few styles in longer lengths.

A long length to me is a 36" inseam, and a lot of stores consider a 34" inseam long.

The Tall Girl Shop obviously has pants that are long enough, but I find them very pricey.

Ann Taylor often has longer lengths, but the store in my town is closing at the end of January.

I have to stay away from long pants from chico's or Talbot's because they are floods on me (and I'm 2" shorter than you).

The Gap sometimes offers longer lengths if you order on line. I've never seen them in my local store.

Penningtons and Additionelle But, they are Canadian. Doubt they have those in the USA.

Yes, NY & Co does sell longs in the store. However when I asked the sales lady if she knew where the long shirts were she looked at me funny and I explained to her that they make longer shirts for tall people online.

JCPenney online has both tall and ultra tall. I also buy from Chadwicks, and I got some bargain tall pants at Coldwater Creek in their outlet online.

I LOVE NY & Co. They sell talls in the store, so you don't have to order them online!!!

I also have found a few things at JcPenny's and Macys. Torrid also has some pants in long lengths.

Old Navy sells talls also, but their jeans don't agree with me.
