try silver jeans. They come is so many different leg lengths and waist heights. I love mine and I feel great in them. Buy them a bit snug since they do give about half a size.

I'll check them out. Thank you!

Tall women should avoid wearing Women's clothing that have bright and wild prints. Wear a different coloured top than what you wear below. Wearing two different colours above and below will help break up your height. Stick to outfits that have both light and dark colours. As much as possible, stay away from monochromatic women's clothing. Tall women look attractive and appealing with wide belts because it makes their torso appear shorter. A wide belt can be the perfect accessory to a simple a-line dress, a skirt, or even trousers. Belts help define the waist on a tall figured woman so she doesn't seem like one big endless mass. When searching for the right pair of trousers look for those which have cuffs on the bottom. Cuffs at the bottom of your pants will help make you appear shorter than you actually are.

Wear dresses and skirts that end at your shins. Do not bother with dresses that end at your ankles because they will accentuate your height. Other ideal clothing that end below the knee are capris. Shin skirts and dresses and capris are the types of clothing that will reduce the elongated look of your body. Whatever womens clothing you decide to wear make sure they are neither too loose nor too fitted. Your tops should be longer than what you wear below. By wearing a long top and something short below you make you give the impression that you are shorter. Wearing low heeled shoes such as ballet flats will avoid adding height to your already tall frame.

Tall women should use large accessories to match their Womens clothing. If you are wearing earrings select long dangly earrings instead of studs. In this case bigger is better. The same rule applies for purses and hand bags. It looks very odd and disproportionate when a tall woman carries a small purse. You don't want to look like a giant carrying Barbie sized accessories. A tall woman should carry large hand bags in solid colours. By following these tips you will be able to find the right kind of womens clothing for you. A smart shopper has an idea of what clothes to look for before they start shopping. Whatever your figure or frame you should always know what types of womens clothing suit your figure so you can highlight the best qualities of your body.

Old Navy also has tall sizes, and most of their pants are low to mid-rise.

This would be my suggestion also. If you can figure out your size, they have a "tall" section on their website. I ordered long jeans from there because I always have to order long/tall. For once, the pants were a little long on me. They were really comfortable though and were flattering for the most part. I'm 5'9" also.

I have a hard time finding pants because I need long pants while at the same time having a waist that would be one size, and hips that require another size. But Old Navy and Target are good places for pants.

I agree with this. Sweethearts are my favorite!
I also have a muffin top and low-rise pants do not help. You just end up with a dunlop (Where your belly dun lopped over your pant waist). I like Old Navy's Sweetheart cut jeans. They are a mid-rise, so they're not really high, but they go past the muffin. They are also smaller in the waist, but roomier in the hip/thigh. They have several different cuts. Always try them on though. They are infamous for inconsistent sizing.

(Edited to remove rogue question mark....How did that get in there?)

I don't have a muffin top anymore (yay!), but I am tall so here's my two cents: I'm 5'11" and 160lbs. I have a small chest and small waist and carry my extra weight in my butt. Measurements are 37", 30", and 40" around the fullest part of my hips. I wear a size 10 pants mostly, sometimes a 12 depending on the fabric and fit. I buy my pants/jeans at Old Navy, Alloy, and New York and Company... occasionally JCPenney. They are the only stores that are (for me) reasonably priced and that have pants long enough for me. I don't like high waisted either, but I also know that any muffin top anyone has is more pronounced the further down the pants sit on your hips. I'd shoot for a medium rise and look for the pants to comfortably fit your stomach rather than your hips. I'd rather try to hide the muffin top and have them be baggy below. Good luck!!!
