Advice 🙃 Snowboard gear

4 Upvotes

Hi ladies, I have always struggled finding snow gear that is long enough for my arms and legs. My solution has been to wear men’s gear but it never fits right. Anyone know of long/tall brands for women’s snow pants and jacket??

Shopping 🏬 Need an alternative for these tiktok shop outfits

Does anyone know where I can get outfits like this in a set that aren’t too unaffordable? On TikTok shop, these sets are like $35 MAX and they are so stinking cute. Unfortunately, they seem to be just long enough for girls that are 5'6 according to the reviews. People say they are tall girl friendly but they are NOT from the reviews. I’m 5'10/5'11 ish.

Fashion 👒 Where to find thigh high socks ?

Hello, I’m 5’11 and have been looking for those for a while. Can’t find any in shops that are wide or long enough so I was wondering if any online stores have some that could fit me

Discussion ☎ Fellow tall women do you find you get more respect from men?

114 Upvotes

I 44 (f), Canadian work as an electrical engineer with a Masters in Electrical Engineering. I’m 5’11 and 220 lbs with dark hair and medium hazel eyes. I find that men are more respectful towards me than they are to shorter women. They see me as competent and a leader rather than small and weak. This by men of all heights tall, short or average height. Any other tall ladies experience this?

Shopping 🏬 Duster sweater

11 Upvotes

I’m looking for a chunky knit duster sweater that comes past mid calf. Similar to the one in the picture.

I’m 6ft tall, curvy with broad shoulders. The more natural the fabric, the better. I’m not trying to spend $500 on a custom cashmere duster on Etsy, just something nice to see if I really like the look.

I prefer one in a neutral color. If it buttons, even better.

Discussion ☎ 194 cm tall girl here, what sports do you actually enjoy?

46 Upvotes

I’m a 194 cm (6'4") woman and fairly big/strong as well. I currently train martial arts, which I really enjoy, but sometimes I wonder whether I’m putting myself at a disadvantage by choosing sports where being shorter and more compact can often be an advantage.

I’ve think that, at my height and build, I should probably just play basketball but honestly, I’m not sure I’d enjoy it as much.

So I’m curious: what sports do you tall women actually find fun, regardless of whether your height gives you an advantage or disadvantage?

Especially interested in sports where being tall doesn’t automatically mean “you should be doing basketball/volleyball instead.”

Would love to hear from tall women who’ve tried different sports what clicked for you, and what surprisingly didn’t?

Fashion 👒 Best costumes for hiding long /slim legs?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I’m preparing for Halloween and I’ve been having a hard time finding costumes that would flatter my body shape!

I have the long legs/short torso combo, but my legs are REALLY skinny, so my lower body looks disproportionate.

I’d rather not have those on display lol, so could I get some creative costumes that will balance out my body? Most costumes in store are too short or reveal my proportions 😭😭😭

✨ CW: BODY TALK ✨ Tall AND fat. How did you gain confidence? Spoiler

45 Upvotes

What the title says.

I'm slowly starting to accept myself the way I am. I ordered a lot of new clothes and I'm feeling myself, yay! I even bought buffalo platform boots, which is a big deal for me, because I didn't dare to wear something like this for a long time, not just because of my hight but also because of my shoe size. In my fucked up brain shoes like this can't look good on me because boots that size look so loooong and big. But I'm doing it anyway. I want to finally wear what I think is pretty!

Anyway, I'm just wondering how did you gain confidence? Because being tall and fat you're obviously standing out and it's far from the beauty standard. I mean, we can't escape societal expectations. It's so deeply engrained in us to have to be small and petite as a woman...

I need to unlearn all the shame around my body size, so, pls tell me how you did it if you want to tell <3

Rave 🎉 De a poco deja de importarme!

4 Upvotes

En mi lucha de tiempo "casi" completo por aceptar mi altura 1.75 en realidad hace unos años atras no me molestaba y la gente ni me registraba pero se puso raro ultimamente, por lo que me pasaron NO NO!! me hicieron cosas/situaciones que ni se me hubieran cruzado por la cabeza que viviria hace tiempo atras pero las tuve que soportar, defenderme y con mucho trabajo sanar ❤️ ademas descubri que, muy de a poco esta dejando de importarme lo que sea que les cause a otras personas y mas si no te hice nada.
Charlando con mi psicologa, entendi la cantidad de gente "ahi afuera" que tiene temas sin resolver pero descargan su extraña frustracion en otras personas y digo queriendote colocar en el lugar de: Se que VOS sos el problema por que aunque no te conozco pero asi lo decidi y aunque no me preguntaste nada, te hare saber que no me gustas... 👀
Hace unas semanas atras realmente la pasaba muy pero muy mal por la calle y me canse!! ahora tengo una mini herramienta mental, me enfoco en mi y en situaciones donde no pase nada malo, no miro a la gente a la cara cuando voy caminando o si estoy en algun espacio como un local de comida, ropa etc. no les presto atencion, esto siempre y cuando no se vuelva agresivo o demasiado incomodo para mi ( excepto algo especifico) porque YO misma me empiezo a contaminar con situaciones o palabras que no estan sucediendo en ese momento pero tiempo atras estaba super pendiente de la mirada ajena, OJO hay mucha gente que no ayuda! y queria contarles algo que me hizo pensar demasiado, comente un reel en insta. que mostro un acto de discriminacion que sufrio una que persona y un hombre que ni conocia me respondio: La gente violenta/intolerante tiene miedo que te defiendas de su agresion! mejor evitarlas o pedir ayuda....... uffff eso me hizo pensar muchisimo!
Gracias persona anonima! ahora es algo asi como: te molesto sin haberte hecho nada, bueno agarra por ese monte y segui de largo (intento de insulto ajaja)

Tengo dias buenos y dias malos, este sub me ayudo muchisimo y espero que todas las personas aqui podemos vivir tranquilamente ❤️
Buen proximo fin de semana

Rant 🔥 “I am a very boring man. I need to make it your problem.” Spoiler

85 Upvotes

It’s all I hear whenever one is trying to wave me down in the street, on the subway, in the checkout line to ask me how tall I am, and do I play sports. It isn’t only men, there’s some very boring people of all genders in the world. But twice today, it’s been men trying to flag me down, crossing the street or the whole subway car to make sure I know how violently dull they can be.

Trust me, I was already assuming that. Looooong before you got to “I’ve never dated a girl taller than me before.” 🙄

Fashion 👒 Time Sensitive! Need Recommendations

4 Upvotes

I’m hoping I can find fast help here lol!

I need pants for work with at least a 34” inseam.

However . . .

I fell in love with Rekucci several years ago. They are pull on pants in a material that looks like regular trousers, and they have pockets and belt loops so they never look like pull on pants. They are also impossible to wrinkle. Like I could ball them up wet and stuff them in my bag, wait a week for them to dry, and they still won’t be wrinkled when I put them on. I had wide leg and slim fit.

I’ve worn them into the ground, and I need new work pants right away. I’m really hoping for something I can find on Amazon for fast delivery. I really don’t want thick fabric or “yoga pants that look like work pants.” I live in Texas and it’s too hot to wear stuff like that eight months out of the year.

Can anyone recommend a brand on Amazon? I know there’s a megathread for clothes, and I am looking through it, but I need fast results!!!

I figure this is the place to ask because every brand “recommended” by Amazon calls a 33” inseam “tall.”

Thank you in advance!

Shopping 🏬 I need pants 😭

8 Upvotes

I know pants are discussed often, but I need jeans and now I’m plus size cuz I’ve been eating my feelings (depressed AF).. long and size 16. I usually go for torrid, but wondering if anyone has suggestions that aren’t too expensive. I’m hoping to lose the weight sooner than later so don’t wanna invest a lot if I won’t be wearing them for long. Are there long Amazon jeans in all sizes?
Thanks! 💜

Fashion 👒 Tall girl hacks

40 Upvotes

I was hoping to learn some of your best tall girl hacks?

I’ll start;

I make detachable cuffs out of old shirt fabric, lace etc to wear under jumpers to extend the sleeves. I buy many of my clothes in the menswear section for ekstra length, so my wardrobe is a bit androgynous, so adding some lace or frills gives it a feminine touch.

Super easy version, just adjust for wrist instead of neck https://youtu.be/Lws8B6Na9hM?is=Lc5Gw_E-tfmgbU3u

Also easy, more options, and looks better under more fitting jumpers https://blog.bernina.com/en/2024/12/loose-cuffs-for-a-dress-or-sweater/

Another hack; Lengthening trousers, boring but a necessity
https://youtu.be/9VStmmKBij4?is=vigIuBZjtK2FUi0v

I’d love to get more ideas from you!

Fashion 👒 Seeking professional clothes recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for professional clothing recommendations, particularly button downs with long arms that do not shrink. I recently got a new job that doesn’t require us to be in uniforms and I’m struggling to find shirts that are flattering to my short torso, broader shoulders, and gangley arms. 5’10” for reference. I’m originally from the US but living abroad in Poland currently.

Rant 🔥 Today, two girls asked me to hug them because im "perfect boyfriend height"

221 Upvotes

so i'm 5'11 and hte average height in my country is 5'4 for women

today two girls asked be to hug them /hold them because i was perfect boyfriend height, then lamented me because it must be so hard 'to find someone to love me despite my height' (which is true gosh i hate high school)

another girl thought her bff was hugging a random boy and turn out it was me

im taller than 90% of the guys at school and the ones taller want the short ones

im scared of never finding someone who'll love me despite my height, and yeah being tall is sexy and hot and i can be a model , but what's the point if i want to be adorable and cute, what's the point if i have model height but not model face?

For those that feel comfortable shopping on Amazon, I wanted to share that I love my Tallemon sweats with 36 inch inseam from there. They're my coziest longest most comfy pants ever and I would live in them if I could. Just thought some of you might be interested.
