You see them at Shopping Malls, Strip Malls, Stand-alone Stores, online, just about everywhere these days. What are we talking about? Clothing stores for Big and Tall men. The marketplace is full of stores catering towards the needs of the big and tall guy, but what about us tall women, where are all the stores and websites for us?
I guess it goes without saying that there are more tall men out there than there are ladies, but we still need a place to shop too! We can't keep wearing pants that look like Capri's on us just because we can't find any long enough for our legs. With winter right around the corner, tall women's coats are going to be a necessity, and an undersized regular fit coat is not going to cut it this winter.
Mens Big And Tall Stores
We have put together some information on different online and retail stores that you can visit this winter that carry a range of coats and other clothes for tall women.
Eddie Bauer
They have over 360 stores across North America and you can also shop their extensive website. They cater for the tall woman in the 5'8" to 5'11" category which unless you are a basketball player, this is the normal height range for tall women. You can find a variety of different clothing lines at Eddie Bauer from coats, cardigans, jackets, pants, and jeans, and they also have a convenient sizing chart online if you are not sure of your exact size. They carry over 50 different styles of coats, such as wool peacoats, duffle coats, down jackets and vests, parkas, and trench coats to name a few. Selection is certainly not an issue at Eddie Bauer.
Ann Taylor Loft
While Ann Taylor has retail stores, they only carry their line of Tall Fit Clothing online. They have a reasonable selection of pants and jackets designed for those that are over 5'9". They have an excellent sizing chart guide and an explanation on their website of what changes they have made to their clothing line to fit taller women. With jackets the center back has been elongated another 1 - 1 ½ inches. The sleeves on a full-length jacket have been lengthened 1 ¼ inches, and for ¾ length coats they have been lengthened by ½ inch. The waist placement has been lowered by ¾ inch, and the inseam on their pants is 3 inches longer. They carry a very wide selection of pants and jeans, over 80 different pairs, but we only found a handful of coats for tall women.
Old Navy
Old Navy definitely has a good selection of tall women's coats with over 55 different styles to choose from! Their prices are very competitive as well, ranging from just to .50. As with Ann Taylor, their Tall Women's line of clothing is only available online, but you can find the same styles in regular sizes in the stores, so you can touch and feel the coat you would like to buy, and then order it online in your size. In addition to tall women's coats, they also have a varied selection of different shirts, blouses, pants, skirts, tanks, and sweaters.
