What is the difference between extra long and tall clothing?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference:
- Extra long clothing primarily focuses on additional length in sleeves, trousers, or torso.
- Tall clothing goes a step further: in addition to extra length, proportions such as knee position, waist height, and shoulder width are also adjusted.
If you are generally tall, tall clothing for women is often the better choice. If you primarily have long legs or arms at an average height, then this is the right place for you.
For the complete range, also check out our collection of clothing for tall women, or specifically shop for trousers with extra leg length or tall jeans which we offer in length 36 and 38.
Who is extra long clothing suitable for?
This clothing is ideal for women from approximately 1.78 meters (5'10"), but just as good for women with long legs or arms, regardless of their total height. If you recognize one of these situations, extra long clothing is probably a solution:
✔️ sleeves that don't reach your wrist
✔️ trousers that are too short
✔️ tops that ride up
✔️ clothing that is simply out of proportion
