I Need Help shopping for pants

u didnt tell us your weight so we dont know what size u wear
try on different sizes at the store which ever ones fit comfortably are the size you wear

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.

This is crap. Thanks for googling an article and posting it here. I'm 5' 9" and don't pick a purse based on that nor do I choose clothing to make me appear shorter...I even wear heals!

Unfortunately, OP you need to try cloths on. Try to find tall sizes! They fit better overall. I've had luck with New York and Company because they make tall fits. Good luck.

I am 5"10 and I order my pants from the Old Navy website where I can get them in long and the "dreamer" jeans fit wonderful. And they are not expensive jeans. Also, you can get more dressier and more expensive jeans at Long Elegant Legs. Nice fit also. Hope this helps you.

I am not sure your body type but... my waist is one size smaller than hips so I used to have a lot of issues but... now days, there are pants in various shapes. I get curvy which has hips a little bigger than waist. Look for straight cut, not narrower at calf and ankle as this elongates the legs. If I find a type of pant that fits, I buy in a few colors. I try to get one length for flats and one for heels.

I'm English so we have different stores here, but my nicest, best fitting jeans are Levi's that I bought about 11 years ago! I also have sme Calvin Klein jeans that fit nicely.

I'd just try on loads on different sizes and see what suits you best. I'm not the same size in every shop here.

Unfortunately different brands have different sizing so you are not going to be the same size jeans everywhere. Avoid the muffin top by finding jeans that actually fit you in the waist/hips. I have lower rise jeans that don't give me a muffin top. You are just going to have to go out to different stores and try on a bunch of jeans. With my shape even if I find jeans to fit I usually have to get them taken in in the waist because my legs are a whole size larger than my hips/waist, so keep that as an option too. Jeans are not made for everyone, they are standard sizes/cuts, you just have to find what works for you.

I just looked at your ticker and saw your weight. BTW, your face looks very slim. I'm not sure where to suggest pants that would fit you. Perhaps try Catherines, or Chicos, altho Chicos is pretty pricey. Lane Bryant would probably have some as well. Unfortunately it will probably be a bit difficult to find young, trendy styles that will fit you right now, but just look for some that are comfy and wear longer tops that cover the pockets and no one can tell the style. And definitely look for mid to higher rise.

Congrats that you are making the changes for a healthier lifestyle while you are so young. Hang in there and you will make it into the little cute jeans!

I will never look at Old Navy and Gap jeans the same after seeing this:

This article was a real eye opener! LOL!
Thank you for sharing this. I'll never buy GAP jeans again!
"Mom jeans" ....shudder.

OMG!! I take back what I said! Do not go to Old Navy! LOL...Now I need to check out some other denim...

LOL I know! I completely freaked when I saw this. I had been a loyal Old Navy customer for years.

This is so not true. :ohwell:

Perhaps I just never found them then. When I was in size 22 jeans, I could never find jeans that fit that weren't grandma jeans. I did finally find a pair of 'trendy' jeans at the time, that were the wide leg and blinged pockets that were in style at the time, and I thought I was so rocking those jeans, but looking back, they really were quite ridiculous. The biggest problem I have had when I was larger was that my waist was so much bigger than my hips and thighs. Low rise fit my hips and thighs better, but I had horrible muffin top, so to find jeans that fit me in the waist, the butt and thighs were insanely baggie.

With the emergence of the super stretch skinny jeans, I can finally fit into jeans comfortably and flatteringly. But I have also lost 50 pounds, and can fit into size 12 in that style now. But I don't see those jeans available in larger than size 18, at least not at the stores I usually shop. But after reading the posted blog, it does show some cute jeans in the larger sizes. I just don't recognize the stores she mentioned- Vault, Torrid, Maurices. I have never heard of those and haven't seen them in my area. But I don't spend much time in the mall, so perhaps they are there and I have just missed them. I definitely wouldn't buy jeans online unless I have actually tried them on in the store first.

Are those stores in all areas?

I don't know if this works for taller gals or not, but as a shorty with ample hips (I am pear shaped), I've found tailoring to be a life saver. It's rare for me to find a pair of pants that fit perfectl right off the rack, but I've had great pants that looked nice once I had a professional hem or tightening up of the waist done on them.

P.S. ^ this is the tailoring I require. There are others things that can be done-letting out hems, etc. This may be a worthless suggestion for some, but maybe it can help some others.
