5 reasons to wear tall T-shirts

An elongated T-shirt won’t ride up your back or out of your trousers, suits a tall build and works for the office, for sport and for your free time. We’ve put together 5 reasons you’ll love it, plus advice on which length to choose.

In short

An elongated T-shirt covers your back and stomach even when you stretch, visually lengthens your figure and goes with jeans, chino trousers, sweatpants and even a blazer. For most T-shirts you choose the length by your height: Classic for 175–190 cm, Long for 185–200 cm and Extra Long for 200–215 cm. We make our short-sleeved T-shirts from organic cotton with GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificates.

Tired of the endless search for a T-shirt with the perfect cut? Stop searching, you’ve just found it. The TallGuys elongated T-shirt has several advantages that will win you over straight away. We’ve listed the most important ones below.

1. It covers everything it should

If you’re on the taller side, T-shirts in regular sizes can easily leave your back and stomach showing. And even though crop tops are in right now, not everyone wants to wear them. Elongated T-shirts come to the rescue, because they give you the coverage you need. No more worrying that you’ll accidentally show something you don’t want to. You’ll see how much more confident you feel in them.

2. It looks stylish

An elongated T-shirt isn’t just a practical addition to your wardrobe, it’s also a way to express your personal style. If you like a timeless look, simple plain T-shirts let you create an elegant, clean outfit that never goes out of fashion. But you’ll also find bolder options with a print that give your outfit an extra kick. And fans of collars or V-necks, which suit everyone, won’t miss out either. They’re just details, but in the end they make a big difference and make your outfit stand out.

3. It shows off your figure

Tall people stand out, command respect and often come across as attractive. So why not make that impression even stronger? Elongated T-shirts visually lengthen the body, which gives your figure elegance and a slimmer look. So you can be sure you’ll look not only modern but also confident and attractive.

4. What to wear with an elongated T-shirt?

Its simple, versatile look makes it a piece that works in many different combinations and layers. It suits casual outfits with jeans or elongated chino trousers, but also smarter trousers and a blazer for special occasions. You’ll appreciate an elongated T-shirt for working out and sport too, because it goes perfectly with sweatpants and shorts. It’s so versatile that you’ll never get bored of it.

When making our elongated T-shirts, we insist on quality materials. The organic cotton we use is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilisers. T-shirts made from it are soft, pleasant to the touch and breathable. Thanks to GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificates, they are suitable even for very sensitive skin. It’s a comfortable choice that also takes the impact on the environment into account.
