Women's Tall Blazers

For the plus size woman who is taller than average, finding women’s tall blazers for her professional outfits is important in presenting a chic but businesslike image. Full figured women want affordable clothing that flatters their bodies, but for tall ladies, finding clothes that don’t look as if their garments have shrunk is a major concern. Pants need to be long enough and so do sleeves. So where can plus size women find the latest in blazer fashion?

While the women’s tall category isn’t as defined as women’s petites (fashion for those 5’4 and under), generally women who are model height and taller know how difficult it is to find clothes that fit perfectly. These retailers address the special needs of tall women. While not all are necessarily plus size manufacturers, they do carry large sizes for tall women:

• Tall Lady Boutique: The blazers offered by this shop are classic in style and will work with many different outfits, from pants to skirts. You have a good selection of colors, from basic black to khaki green and red, so you can go for a toned down look one day and brighten it up the next.
• JCPenney: This department store has long provided clothing for women with different fashion dilemmas, including the curvy figured woman as well as the tall one. You can find a variety of blazers here, from office perfect styles to jackets that will complement your weekend attire.
• Tall, etc.: Blazers offered by this retailer are usually between 25 inches and 29 inches long. Styles range from classic to contemporary to sporty and are available in a wide variety of colors.
• Long Elegant Legs: This site offers a multitude of fashion choices for tall women, including select pants styles with 39-inch inseams.
• Woman Within: You’ll find clothing for nearly all your style needs from this retailer, including blazers that will fit your frame.
• Luxuriously Tall: Founded by a woman who knows exactly what it’s like to have difficulty finding clothes that fit, this site offers clothing from a “consumerist” point of view, which is how you’re probably shopping as well.
• Tall Girl: You’ll find clothing here that fits your casual as well as workplace needs.

While tall women can wear many fashions that shorter women are advised to steer away from, plus size ladies may wonder how the fashion rules apply to them. Full figured gals are often told not to wear horizontal stripes (which is perfectly fine for tall figures) or busy patterns, so how do tall plus-sized women handle conflicting style advice?

• Don’t shy away from patterns: Women blessed with abundant height can wear bold, dramatic patterns that would swallow up shorter women. Maybe you’ve heard that you shouldn’t wear bright colors, but who wants to wear black all the time in an effort to look slimmer?
• Don’t forget your heels: If you wear a variety of women’s tall blazers in your business environment, wear your heels. So what if you tower over other employees?
• Make sure your clothes fit: A lot of plus size women wear baggy clothes to hide their figures, but this is a very unflattering look. Instead, make sure your clothes fit your body perfectly. This will help you project confidence, which is important if you’re a businesswoman.

Unlike petite women, tall women don’t have to worry about making themselves appear taller to be taken seriously in the business world. However, some women wear flat heeled shoes all the time because they’re not comfortable with their height. If you’re also plus-sized, you may have tried to further diminish your body’s proportions by wearing dark, drab colors or clothes too large for you.

Be prepared to embrace your stature: runway models are almost always at least 5’9. Even full figured models benefit from their long legs as most modeling agencies require tall models. Once you know where to purchase clothes that fit you well, you can walk with confidence that your pants will fall all the way to your ankles and your sleeves will cover your wrists.
