Tall Woman Trying To Find Sweatpants/Yoga Pants/Joggers!

LouLou

I'm trying to find some joggers to wear. I'm 6'1 so that makes it a challenge (and 20 odd years ago was an impossibility)!

My *pet hate* is sites that don't state the inside leg measurement! Does anyone know what length the Tall range is in New Look? (The Tall Applique Jogger Bottoms) http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/trousers/tall-applique-jogger-bottoms_225276701?icClicked=addToBag&icCategory=cat410096&_requestid=856710

I try ebay but a lot of people don't state the inside leg measurement there either. Long Tall Sally is a bit too pricey for what you get, so my options can get quite limited.

I'm size 10-12 and 35" inside leg.

Thanks for any pointers! I don't mind reasonably priced alternatives if anyone has some

I just buy cheap knee length and wear long socks in winter or bare calves summer, got sick of trying to find any to suit! Good luck

LouLou

Haha, that's not the sort of reply I was expecting. It is hard to find things for the bottom half (t-shirts are a little easier, especially with the tunic style being so popular).

My friend who's 6' usually buys men's joggers, though she's a size 14.

I buy the joggers from New look, i think there either 35" or 36" and find they are long enough and really comfy too.

Im really funny with bottoms as i like them to touch the floor, i dont like ankle swingers :rotfl:

I so wish i was born with shorter legs!

LouLou

Oh, thank you Ria, was wondering about the New Look range. Can't seem to fit into ANY of my jeans right now (I'm nearly 41 so I suppose middle-aged spread is hitting with a vengeance) joggers will do while I try to lose some of the muffin top.

I had a friend on the other end of the spectrum, who had to get all her trousers taken up..! We must look funny walking down the street together

Debenhams do the Pineapple range, their long is 34"(pretty close;) )

Hi try Tallgirls.co.uk or Very.com. They do trousers for tall people. Also Google trousers for tall women. Hope these ideas help.

Well there's your answer.
Go shopping with your friend and both buy the same trousers/ jeans/ joggers.
Cut off the bits she doesn't need and sew them to the bottom of yours :rotfl:

34" is still a bit too short for me (believe me, I used to make do with 33-34" because that was all that was on offer for years!), 35 or 36 are much better.

Had a look on Tallgirls but that is venturing into Long Tall Sally prices, £34 for yoga pants and I'm not sure of the quality. Though I know there's not a lot of choice out there for us lankies.

I'll order the New Look ones to keep me going.

PS: M&S do Long which is around 32" inside leg, do they still do "Extra Long"? Haven't seen it in their stores for a while. (Had a quick search; they do..just no joggies online).

LouLou

These look good (the model is 5'10 but it doesn't mention inside leg measurement!!) so I've emailed ASOS. http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Yoga-Pants/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1860363&SearchQuery=jogger&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Navy

Get the feeling they'll be a tad short, though.

..Bah I just got an automated reply!
