Tall Moi Work Wear
High on the list of tall girls’ most needed items, is a work wardrobe. Obviously not every woman will need business professional pieces, but we’ve heard enough pleas for where to shop loud and clear! Obviously it’s an odd time in the United States and most of the world, with COVID continuing it’s spread and keeping most of us on lockdown. We’ve at least transitioned part-time back to being in office and are super excited to introduce you to a new tall brand, Tall Moi!
Tall Moi is founded by Bukola Bankole, for the reason most tall companies begin: solving our fashion problems for lack of choice. Why should it be so difficult for tall women to create a wardrobe, especially one professionally? It is an inevitable part of our adult lives to have to own clothing you can wear in a job setting. I distinctly recall having to dress up for basketball game days in high school and whining to my Mom about a lack of options. We are lucky to have a Mom who gets it, as she is 6’2 as well!
The secondary part of that is having updated “cool and current” workwear. As a teenager, I liked my Mom’s wardrobe, but I liked it for her, not me! Later, as I began my career, her wardrobe was there to save me until I could afford to build my own. So for those game days, I wore too-short skirts and the same culottes (then referred to as gauchos just to age myself), to get by and fit in.
Plus if you’re a potentially still growing teen, it’s difficult to pay a premium for the few option dress pants available. Knowing they might not fit for long makes deal hunting critical! That is why Tall Moi is so GENIUS! Founded with the idea of meeting fashion needs for tall women, we have to agree they are doing just that! They have designed reversible capsule wardrobes and we’re so excited to share them with you.
Business wear is tough enough to find pieces in your length. Now you can buy one pair of pants and get two! The Brook Herringbone/Green Slim Pants are such a fun yet classic addition to our closets. No longer do you have to get by with your boring options at some of the larger retailers who provide options in only black and navy. If you travel for work, it suddenly makes your packing a breeze. Just turn the pants or dress to the other side and it’s a fresh look!
Tall Moi is doing their part to make sustainable fashion a reality for us, and we’re here for it. As two women who love fashion and creating new and unique looks for the office, the versatility of their pieces is a must for our closet. So now instead of having to shop for an additional piece, we can create double the looks with one piece of clothing. Like we said before, complete genius.
The clothing is made of polyester/spandex/rayon and skims our bodies in a feminine yet professional way. Another thing we love about Tall Moi is the clothing is designed to be seasonless. Meaning you can wear it throughout the whole year! As Wisconsinites can attest, we have many pieces in our wardrobes we have to switch out depending on the season. Obviously this can add up quickly in building a work wardrobe.
You can invest in any of these pieces, knowing that you will be able to wear year-round. Like the Geena Reversible Ponte Sheath. Cut for our tall bodies, they thoughtfully designed it three quarter length sleeves. We all are subjected to the office’s arctic air conditioning temperatures in the summer months, so we definitely are never searching for sleeveless options to wear there! Plus we love the piping detail down the front, as it draws the eye downward and therefore creates a slimming effect.
You’re going to be so happy to add these pieces to your wardrobe! If you check out Tall Moi’s website they have a ton more info on their design process and not contributing to fast fashion. We feel lucky to be able to introduce you to these exciting pieces that will be timeless pieces in your closet and will ultimately save you from wasting money elsewhere!
For sizing info, we’re both wearing a size large in the dress and the pants. If you’re in between sizes we’d say size down. There isn’t a ton of stretch to the pants, however, there is more for the dress! As always, we’re happy to answer any other questions you might have.
