Plus Size Clothing for Tall Women: Pants, Jeans & Tops
Look for Tall inseams of 33–34" in plus size pants and jeans, tops up to 36" long and adjustable sleeves, then check each style's product page and size chart.
For tall plus size women, the fix starts with the length you choose, not the size. Look for Tall inseams of 33–34" in pants and jeans, tunics with a 36" longest length, and sleeves that adjust. Shoppers tell us they're "so glad you have tall sizes," and also that "I'm 5'10 and they are too short," so the details below are about closing that gap.
What inseam is tall in plus size pants?
At Roaman's, Tall pants carry a 33" inseam and the Tall wide-leg jean a 34" inseam, compared with a 30–31" average inseam. That extra two to three inches is what lets a straight or wide leg reach your shoe.
Each style lists its own lengths, so compare every option on the page:
- Petite: 28–29" in these styles, with a 25" Petite Short in the Classic Bend Over® pant.
- Average: 30" in the pants, 31" in the wide-leg jean.
- Tall: 33" in the pants, 34" in the wide-leg jean.
How do you measure your inseam before ordering?
Measure a pair of pants you already love the length of, from the crotch seam straight down the inside leg to the hem. That number is a more reliable guide than your height alone.
- Choose pants that hit where you want, worn with the shoes you'll pair them with most.
- Lay them flat and smooth out the legs.
- Measure from the crotch seam down the inner leg seam to the bottom of the hem.
- Compare that number to the inseam listed for the Tall length on the product page.
Measuring yourself works too: stand straight in your usual shoes and have someone measure from the top of your inner thigh to where you want the hem to land.
Tall lengths in our best-selling pants and jeans
All four of these bottoms come in Tall, at 33" or 34". The difference is the leg shape, the fabric and how each one sits at the waist.
For everyday ease: soft knit straight leg
Our Roaman's soft knit pull-on straight leg pant is the customer favorite for a reason: stretch knit, an elastic waistband and side pockets, with a 33" Tall inseam that carries the straight line down to your shoe. It runs from size 10W to 44W.
For polish: the Classic Bend Over® pant
The Classic Bend Over® structured pant pairs crisp woven fabric with a seamless waistband and a 33" Tall inseam. It's cut relaxed and roomy; the product's own sizing tip suggests one size down if you prefer a trimmer, more tailored look.
For movement: wide legs in Tall
A wide leg shows a short hem fastest, which makes Tall essential here. The Wide Leg Bend Over® pant has a 33" Tall inseam and a stretch waistband that stays put. For denim, the stretch wide-leg jean goes longest at 34", with a 25" leg opening and a contoured waistband that moves with your natural waist.

Why can tall pants still come up short?
A Tall inseam can still land high if your inseam runs longer than the listed number, the waist sits higher than you expect, or your shoes add height. Check these before you order.
- Inseam versus your measurement: a 33" Tall won't reach the floor on a 35" leg. Compare numbers, not labels.
- Where the waist sits: the Wide Leg Bend Over® pant sits above the natural waist, which uses some of your length before the leg begins.
- Your shoes: heels and platforms lift the hem. Measure with the shoes you'll actually wear.
- Missing details: one reviewer noted, "Inseam isn't mentioned in product description." If you can't find the inseam, ask a Question on the product page in our Questions & Answers section before buying.
Getting the size right alongside the length
Choose your length first, then your size, and treat each style separately. Sizing isn't uniform across all fabrics and silhouettes: some shoppers say a style "seems to run large," and others recommend ordering one size smaller. All products will run true-to-size when you compare your measurements to our Size Chart as a rule.
Read each product's size chart and sizing tips, and compare against a pair that fits you well through the waist and hips. Then pick the Tall length on that same style.
Tops for tall frames: length and sleeves
For tops, look for longer lengths and sleeves you can adjust. Tunic length matters as much as inseam, since a top that stops too high on a long torso throws off the whole look.
The pintuck tunic blouse with roll-tab sleeves reaches a 36" longest length with a shirttail hem, and its long sleeves button up to three-quarter length. If a long sleeve tends to stop short of your wrist, wearing it rolled on purpose looks intentional rather than outgrown.
When you shop other tops, check the listed longest length and compare it with a tunic you already love on you.
Frequently asked questions
Where can tall plus size women buy pants?
Roaman's carries Tall lengths alongside its 10W–44W size range, including pull-on knits, Bend Over® pants and denim. Choose Tall on the product page where it's offered, and confirm the listed inseam before you order.
Should I size up to get more length?
No. Going up a size mainly adds room through the waist, hips and thighs, not a dependable amount of length. Order your usual size in the Tall length instead, then adjust size only if the fit through the body is off.
Are tall jeans longer than tall pants?
In these styles, yes. The Tall wide-leg jean has a 34" inseam, while the Tall soft knit, Classic Bend Over® and Wide Leg Bend Over® pants are 33". Always check the specific style, since lengths vary.
What if a Tall inseam is still too short for me?
Compare your measured inseam to the listed one. If yours runs past 34", look for the longest Tall inseam available, favor flats over heels with full-length styles, or choose a cropped or ankle silhouette you'll wear deliberately.
