How to choose trousers for tall women?
Start with your height, not your size. Regular trousers have one length per size, so a tall woman reaches for a bigger size and then they are loose at the waist. With elongated women’s trousers you choose the size by your waist and hips and the length by your height:
| Length | Your height |
|---|---|
| Classic | 165–175 cm |
| Long | 170–180 cm |
| Extra Long | 180–190 cm |

Do you like the legs down to your shoes, or do you have longer legs? Go for the longer option.
Linen trousers, Tencel or sweatpants?
It depends on where you want to wear them. Linen trousers are made from pre-washed linen, so they keep their size, and they get softer with every wash. Tencel trousers are fluid and soft, good for the city and for dinner. Elongated sweatpants made of brushed organic cotton are soft on the inside. You can choose the elongated everyday cut or the looser WIDE cut and match them with a sweatshirt made of the same cotton.
How long a T-shirt do you need when you are tall?
One that stays tucked in even when you raise your arms. Elongated women’s T-shirts have an elongated cut, so the hem stays in place when you stretch or ride a bike. Choose the size by your chest and shoulders, and if you are between two, take the bigger one. A crew neck works under a blazer, a V-neck looks more elegant and also suits a skirt. The T-shirts are made of GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified organic cotton with 5% elastane, so they keep their shape.
How to choose a bodysuit and a sweatshirt when you have a long torso?
Elongated women’s bodysuits have a longer torso and a two-row snap fastening, so you can fine-tune the length to fit you exactly. The longer your torso, the more likely you need the Long or Extra Long option. Elongated women’s sweatshirts follow the same size range as the T-shirts, and the sleeves stay at your wrists even when you raise your arms above your head.
