(Cheap) clothes for tall people!

Mrs_Edwards_to_be

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to this site (I usually lurk about in the background reading posts!) but I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites/shops that sell 'tall' ranges? I'm not massively tall (5'9) but I like to have trousers that fit me instead of flapping round my ankles! I had a look on Long Tall Sally, but I begrudge paying 60 quid for trousers just because there's slightly more material in them!!

advice much appreciated!

Hello! I am 6 foot and I find that the dorothy perkins range fit me perfectly (they seem to be cut properly so the "knee" bit of trousers is in the right place IYSWIM, they haven't just added on a bit of extra leg length which is all Next seem to do. I dont have a problem with tops but I know they do sell "tall" tops too. They are also very reasonably priced.

i have to agree with nichola, and say dorothy perkins is a good place to but longer length jeans and tops, i'm 6 foot 3".
also tallgirls .co.uk do some reasonably priced clothes too

New Look do 'Tall' range and many of their standard ranges of jeans and trousers come in 34" leg.

Topshop do tall, Asos do Long Tall Sally and had a load in their sale recently.

BigFish on line do good jeans for tall men (that's why I looked at this thead so might help someone else), DH id 6'9 and needs a 38" leg so I get his from there or Topman.

thanks for that info vicki, will come in handy for my sons, as they are already almost as tall as me and still growing

don't know what clothes size you are, but evans start at a size 14 and now do some of their tops in a longer length too.

Hi

Do you have a Next Clearance shop near you? They can be very cheap! Their Long length trousers and jeans suit me (5' 11" in my heels!!). I like my trousers skimming the ground too!

M& S 'Long' are also OK, check out Famous Name Seconds Shops and market stalls. My favourite jeans are M&S faded blue 'extra long' length flares, ( with a bit of lycra.... soooo comfortable!) bought at the Seconds Shop for a tenner about 9 years ago and still going strong!

Do you mind second-hand clothes? Ebay has 44 pairs of Long Tall Sally trousers listed from 99p+p&p at the moment! Following a diet, I have just parted with a pair of this season's smart M&S dark brown linen-mix trousers in long length (hardly worn) for the grand sum of 99p on ebay!

As others have said, dorothy perkins do a tall range as do M&S and Next.

Littlewoods do most trousers in a choice of leg length and I find they come up very long anyway.
