When I was size 18/20 tall, I used to have to wear absolutely disgusting workout pants ... polyester ... drawstring gathered waist! Oh how I hated them. But now that I can wear a sizes 12/14, there must be better choices available. I want something NON-polyester that I can wear for exercise classes, and something for yoga.

What do you wear for tall workout pants? Where do you get them?

    I buy compression shorts, capris, and pants from Old Navy online. I mainly run which is why I use compression, but I do have a couple pairs of Nike running shorts that have a 5" inseam.

    For reference, I'm 6'0", 36" inseam, weigh 170, size 10/12 and a medium at ON

    Target also carries a few different styles of tall yoga pants in their stores. I rely on them and Old Navy for now...

    I just get the semi-loose fit yoga pants from Target. They have them in 'tall' which is a perfect length for me.

    Old Navy yoga pants (they have longs and I own them in S, M & L for different stages of the weight loss). Target also has long yoga pants.

    I'm obviously having a hard time parting with my fat clothes...LOL

    Old Navy's talls are great. One problem I had with their yoga pants though is that the waist came up to my boobs! Lucky for me my sister sews and took about 2 inches out of the top of them.

    Old Navy and Gap are where mine all come from.
    Love their tall inseams. The pants wash well and are fashionable so I'm a happy camper.

    I'm 5'9, size 10/12, inseam 35"

    I buy a lot of BCBG at TJMaxx, they are usually long enough and have some cotton-terry yoga styles
