    I think the last time I went to Target, they had workout pants in longer lengths. Also, try oldnavy.com for tall lengths.

    Aerie has long and extra long in their Yoga Pants. I am 6'3" and the ones I have are so long I walk on them if I don't watch it.

    Beat me to it.. Old navy has a great 'tall' section. I'm in the same boat :)

    I gave up and started wearing sweat pants that only come down to my knees to work out.

    I have two pairs of "Yoga pants" from Old Navy which I love. I am 5'10" and don't find them too short at all. I usually wear them pretty high too. They have a super high waist which you can fold over, it wear high and it holds in my tummy pretty decently. They are not even labelled "tall", but they are definitely long enough!

    I'm 6'1" tall.... I have to buy men's tall windpants. ughhhh! I wish clothing manufacturers would cater to us tall women rather than just petites! It's so much easier to hem/shorten clothes than it is to make them grow!

    Target sells long
    Oldnavy.com does too but not so much in their stores (unless its a common jean size)

    I too gave up and just wear capris to work out in

    ^This. Never had a problem because I buy men's pants (other than they are too long sometimes). I'm 5'10"

    If anyone reading this knows of a place that supplies to the BIG and tall, that would be great! Every place listed so far does not have a 36" inseam on a size 30 or more pant. Am I really the only person here that is tall and fat at the same time? I mean over a size 26.

    I usually get stuff from Fashion Bug online, they have some super great deals. I got my yoga pants from them for under 10 bucks on clearance and I love them even though they are wearing out now *sniffles* That website connects to other big and tall women's stores, and they go to higher plus sizes than any listed so far. Most places cater to a typical inseam for a 5'10" woman, which is a 32" one, but I have found a few places that range 34-36", which is what I need. I guess I have long legs.

    I found that Gap.com has some good plus size pants that are long enough. I also buy men's jeans (Lucky are my favorite). As far as dress pants, I usually get those from gap or old navy because they have bigger sizes online (you can't usually find them in stores)

    I'm 5'9", and I got mine at Marshall's. They're the Reebok brand. Otherwise, I always had to buy guys pants so they are long enough, even with pajama pants too!

    I'm 5'8" and I've recently had good luck with Nike and Underarmor running gear but I buy the tights kind which tend to run longer as well. The biggest downside is the price, though the product seems to hold up better than target's so it might be worth it.

    You'll mostly have to shop online to find a good range of tall pants, but Champion's C9 line at Target is great. Old Navy, and Gap and Athleta all carry tall work-out wear!

    That's exactly what I was going to say. Kohl's does have talls. Occasionally you'll get lucky and find a few in the store, most of the time I order online. Last night I just ordered a new pair. I'm in LOVE with the Fila reflector performance and yoga pants....so comfy and stay put while I work out. I'm 5'10 and have a 34" inseam. I never have them creep down as I run or while doing yoga/pilates/st. They're on sale now
