Tall Women Roundup

We are pumped to be kicking off a new type of post that can hopefully be reoccurring going forward: Tall Lady Roundup! We grabbed some of our favorite tall bloggers/Instagrammers and wanted to get everyone’s take on items that use to be very difficult to find and now have become much easier. So without further adieu, let’s get to everyone’s take on it and hopefully it will inspire you! Also, the ultimate hope is, as usual, to make your shopping experience pain free and even hopefully fun!

We’ll start off with our choice which had to be swimsuits and more specifically one-piece swimsuits. Growing up, tankinis were all the rage so we didn’t really delve into one-piece suit shopping for years. That was a whole different ball game trying to find tankinis that we’re long enough, but soon enough we grew out of that. From there we moved onto bikinis, and for the most part, that’s what we stick with because we like them the most. But there have never been more options for one-pieces than right now! We’ll always have a need for a least one one-piece in our rotation, for whenever a bikini isn’t going to cut it. For awhile we’d buy whatever we could find just so we could have a “workout” swimsuit. Seeing other women rock the cutout sexy one-pieces just made us laugh every time we’d contort ourselves to try one on.

Enter La Blanca swimwear. They reached out to us to see if we’d be interested in trying out their swimsuits, as they pride themselves on their collection being inspired by real women for real women. Say no more, considering our blog name and philosophy is all about realness. So obviously included in designing for real women, are tall women (us)! We both picked out suits and sized up one to ensure the length would work well. We’re wearing an XL and would normally do an L. One of the biggest issues with one-piece suits is always pulling up in the butt/crotch region. It normally leaves it looking a little too cheeky for our comfort. Definitely not an issue here, and a great coverage on the butt! We are both over the moon that these are on-trend, amazing quality and make us feel like our best selves! 

Eliska

We connected with Eliska on Instagram right from the start of our journey. She is from the Netherlands and is also 6’4. We always love seeing her classic choices, and she has the best-printed dress collection for tall women we’ve seen! She’s got y’all covered for the younger crowd, as she’s only 21 as well. For this challenge, she immediately thought of rompers. We’ll still admit that rompers are hit and miss for us depending on the brand, but she picked out a clear winner with this YAS brand (via Asos) romper. It’s a classic design and we love the button detail PLUS its short sleeve which is also tough to find. It’s a clear winner! If you’re not already, go give her a follow on Instagram, her handle is @eliskaxo

Where do we begin with our Californian sister from another mister? Jenna has also been an Instagram friend from the start for us, we had an instant friend in her from so many miles away. She is also part of the 6’4 crew and is consistently posting amazing budget-friendly tall fashion finds. She is such a supportive gal across the board and does a monthly tall girl takeover where she features a fellow tall sister. For our link-up, she chose to feature this gorgeous daisy print maxi dress from none other than Long Tall Sally! As you can tell, she easily can rock some heels with this maxi and have it be the perfect length. Check out more from her at @tallgirltakeover_jenna and her blog is Tall Girl Takeover.

Mallory

This girl is a blast, from what we can tell through her hilarious Instagram stories. We easily connected with her when she started her Instagram, and we always banter back and forth about how it’s only a matter of time before we all meet in real life. But seriously, we will be meeting up! She shares a bunch of try-on’s from various stores and outlines how well they work on her 5’11 frame. Another one of our favorite things about Mallory is that she takes the time (SO MUCH TIME) to post a plethora of roundups from different stores. We don’t typically do this because, well, the time commitment. One of the items she’s been hard at work on finding is flare jeans. Luckily she’s cracked the code and found some seriously good options from American Eagle. Tall women deserve flares too, and another great option we’ve found at a higher price point is this pair. So go follow along with her at @thatothertallgirl on Instagram!

Lindsey Simon

Our Midwest partner in crime, Lindsey! She may just have the most fun feed we have ever seen. From fun out of the box, sometimes edgy clothing, to the most drool-worthy Chicago treats we are constantly loving her content. She stands at an even 6 feet tall, closer to the Caitlin club. We love following not only her fun fashion sense, her travels, and all of the fun Chicago happenings. If you’re looking to brighten up your feed we found your girl! She chose to feature this killer cobalt blue lady suit from Long Tall Sally. It’s such a perfectly fitting suit for tall women AND a statement maker. We shouldn’t have to choose boring pieces just to make them fit us. Her handle on Instagram is @simonsaidd – go enjoy her feed!

We hope you enjoyed this first round of Tall Lady Roundup. Let us know if you think we missed any particular pieces, and maybe we’ll catch them for you in round 2! If you’ve got any other ideas you’d love to see in action, we’re all ears. So glad to have this wonderful community of tall sisters that we can join arms with and empower others! And if you have any favorite tall fashion accounts please recommend them, we love following and supporting all of our tall sisters!
