I’m average height myself, but I have several female friends who are taller than 5′10″, and whenever we talk fashion, the conversation always comes around to complaints about pant leg and sleeve length.  Long-sleeved shirts actually end in the middle of the forearm, and pants end up looking more like capris.  I’m only average height, and sometimes long sleeves are even too short for me – it must be frustrating if that happens to you with pretty much every piece of clothing you try on.

Every tall girl I know tells me the same thing: shop at The Gap for casual clothes.  They have an entire section for tall women, and it’s not just that the garments are longer – they’re actually constructed with a tall woman’s proportions in mind.  For example, check out these nautical jeans.  They’re not just a longer inseam; they have a lower knee, and are tailored to fit the hips of taller women.
