Let's Talk About Pants

When you're tall, and especially a woman, finding pants is always a topic of conversation. Two tall women meet each other and the question of "hey, where do you get your pants?" always comes up.
Of course there are always the tall people sites like "Long Tall Sally", but it seems they try to take advantage of us because we are so desperate for long enough pants, and they raise the prices. I mean come on....$65 for a pair of yoga pants? That's just silly. SO here are some of my favorite places to shop when it comes to pants.

Old Navy Tall

Their sizes run big. I usually wear an 8 but I have to buy a 4 here. They also have yoga pants for $20 or less. The jeans are all quite stretchy for a better fit. The "Sweetheart" fit is one of my favorite fits as well as the "Curvy". Their skinny jeans in the "Rockstar" fit are just high enough in the waist, and hugs your butt just right to give it a lift. They run anywhere from the $12-$29 range. I always wait to get a coupon code, which you can usually find on Retail Me Not.

The Gap Tall
As I am sure you know, The Gap and Old Navy are owned by the same company. The Gap is just the slightly more pricey version. Now, I do not have a use for a lot of dress pants in my life, so I don't really own too many. I do buy manny jeans from them, and I have for several years. The "Long & Lean" cut is very frittering and will make you look slim. I prefer the "Curvy" because I am, well, curvy. The Gap's jeans are my absolute favorite ones of all time.

Alloy

One thing I REALLY like about Alloy is that not only have lengths from 32"-39" (yes you read that right. It is NOT a typo.) but they also carry size 1-25. Even the 39" inseam comes in a size 1 if you need it. Wow! I know right?! They are very reasonably priced. What I have noticed is that most sizes run a little small and the denim doesn't seem to work too well for an hourglass type figure. They do charge a $6.95 return fee, which is pretty annoying, so I tend to order a TON of stuff at a time and try it all on. By "a ton" I mean 20 pairs of pants at a time.

ASOS
Last, but most definitely not least, is ASOS. I'm obsessed with this store. They are not only affordable, but they are also very stylish. Their tall selection isn't huge, but I love them anyway. The price range on this site is from super cheap to uber expensive. It just depends on what you're looking for. I also love that they offer free shipping here and back all the way from the UK. They also provide the height of the model shown, as well as the size she is wearing. The also label each picture with either tall, petite, plus, or maternity. That way if you search for something like a dress, you'll know what's tailored to you without having to click on it every time to see.


I hope you enjoy. Please comment and let me know if you purchased something, what is what, and how you liked it. Please share your shopping experience with me.
