Rachel was good enough to send me pictures of some of her outfits and share her shopping tips. The first of Rachel's recommendations is New Look's tall range. She also loves New Look's shoe selection which she finds great for bigger feet.

Oooh, excited to see a 'tall' blog :-), Rachel look fab! I'm 5'11" and 34" inside leg. Like Rachel, I also find Next tall and DP tall good. My local New Look and Top Shop no longer have tall ranges so choices are limited but Primark doing a tall range is the best thing ever! For jeans, I also find TX Maxx really good for longer lengths.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lily - so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tips too...Avril x
Deletenever knew Primark did a tall range, i haven't been in in ages as it's so not buggy friendly but will definitely be in soon! I'm the same height as Rachel & use DP & New Look mostly. Got great skinny jeans in DP recently for £15 (not in sale) & they are such a good fit!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Kirsty....I hate taking the kids to Primark but it's really worth it for a bargain like that, Avril x
DeleteI am a big fan of Zara for their longer legged trousers, but didn't know so many of these other shops did a tall range. I find shorter dresses especially difficult. They're all a bit on the short side at the minute but on me they just look obscene!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Dara - I'm not as tall and even I end up wearing most of the short dresses as tunics! x
DeleteGreat to see ideas on places for us tall people. Most of my trouser are Next extra long or tall range. Planning a trip to Primark now to try their jeans, have bought 3/4 lengths there but just assumed their full length trousers would be too short!!
ReplyDeleteHi Alison! Thanks for your comment - hope you get sorted in Primark. Lisburn is the best-early in the morning! x
DeleteVery enjoyable to read. However, I have the opposite problem. Can you do one for us petite ladies please.
ReplyDeleteI've had a few petite posts with my friend Claire who sends me pictures regularly. If you do a search for 'Claire' using the search box right at the top left hand side of the screen, you'll see some of them. And there will be more as she is fab at sending me pictures xx
DeleteI didn't realise Primark did a tall range either, will definitely be having a look! I'm 6ft tall with a 36" inside leg and most of my clothes are from DPs Tall range. I recommend their supersoft jeggings, I have them in black and cement, they fit really well and are really comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the DP jeggings! I hope you find the Primark ones good - you'll have to let me know. Avril x
DeleteI am 5ft 11 with a 35 inside leg. Disappointing to find that Tall ranges are rarely available in store, whereas most stores have a Petite range. Next is good but I find their sizing huge In the Tall range. So I need to size down. I buy their jeans in the XXL length to get round this though! Trousers and jeans are easy though, it's much harder to get long body tops and knee length dresses! Nice to know about Primark though and thanks for featuring a tall lady and giving us all some ideas!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it helpful Suz.....Rachel also said how she finds it frustrating that she has to shop online always as the Tall ranges are never usually instore. Have you tried Topshop for tops? I have a long torso so would always check out their tall range for tops. Thanks for going to the trouble of leaving a comment, Avril x
