Tall Knit Pants

Taller women often have a difficult time when shopping for clothes, and it can be especially true when they’re shopping for tall knit pants. Though knit pants themselves, whether for sportswear, lounge wear or casual wear, are not difficult to find, tall women often have a hard time finding some that are long enough to look good on them. Basically, they tend to have the same problems when it comes to knit pants as petite women do, only on the other end of the spectrum. Actually, it can be a little easier for petite women, since they can hem pants, where taller women can’t add length.

There are quite a few shops for big and tall men, but you will rarely see the equivalent for women. For this reason, when you’re looking for tall knit pants, you might have to do some digging through the “regular size” sections, which can often be frustrating. When you’re shopping at department stores, you’ll see a wide range of waist sizes in knit pants, all the way up to “women’s” sizes, but they’ll go to a certain length and then stop. You can usually have better luck at stores that sell women’s clothing exclusively, since they’re more focused on pleasing a wide range of their customer base.

Land’s End sells sport corduroy tall knit pants for women that have been popular for quite some time. These pants have an elastic waistband, are made of a cotton, polyester and spandex blend, and have two front pockets and legs that taper at the ankle. The inseam can go up to 34 inches, much to tall women’s relief. These retail for about $40. The Avenue store, which actually does cater to bigger and taller women, offers Weekend Knit Pants for tall women that can be worn on casual social occasions, and are even nice enough for work sometimes. They are all stretch cotton, have a ribbed elastic waist and casual side pockets. These retail for about $15.

When you’re hard to fit because you’re tall, one place that you should definitely look is online. Doing a search online for tall knit pants will give you a list of online stores that have what you’re looking for, and a lot of the time you’ll save money over the offline stores. Ebay.com is a good place to look for a variety of deals, or you can go straight to the specialty online stores such as Tallfits.com.
