The 11 Best Leggings For Tall Women

These sleek-fitting ponte knit leggings are exactly what you need in your wardrobe when you want to wear leggings to work, but have to be careful not to look like you're wearing leggings to work. They're made from very stretchy ponte fabric (rayon, nylon, and spandex) and have a high waist, seamless and pocket-free back, and a wide waistband for a more comfortable fit. These straight-fit leggings come in black, burgundy, and charcoal. They never stretch out, according to reviewers, and hold up well after repeated spins in the washer and dryer.

Positive Amazon review: "Love these leggings. They are thick enough to wear to work with a long shirt. I am tall and have trouble with leggings being too short. These are long enough for me. I am 5’9". They do not look like workout leggings. Very comfortable."

• Available Sizes: X-Small — XX-Large (Short, Long, Extra Long, and Regular)

There are so many reasons to love these high-waisted leggings, starting with the cooling mesh panels behind the knee and reflective accents that make night runs safer, and ending with side panel pockets that give you a place to put your keys and phone.

But, of course, there's even more to these leggings than a few novel features. They're made from quality, moisture-wicking nylon and spandex so you can expect a really comfy four-way stretch, the waistband has an internal drawcord for a great fit and back zipper pocket with two compartments. And you can score them in tall sizes, as well as short and regular. There isn't much of a color selection (black is it), but the incredible attention to detail makes them a worthy pair to add to your workout wardrobe.

Positive Amazon review: "I love the material, the way they fit, the pockets....just bought a second pair. I bought tall since I am 5'11" and the length is more than adequate."

• Available Sizes: X-Small — 2X (Short, Tall, and Regular)

If you've found that even "tall" leggings have fallen short on you, then these leggings may be just what you've been looking for. They have a 34-inch inseam, which is the longest on the list, and can be worn over the heel during yoga class (or whenever you're chilly) or scrunched up to the angle. These leggings come in black and navy blue and are made from moisture-wicking nylon and spandex with four-way stretch. They have one back pocket, a wide waistband, and are opaque enough to cover you during downward dog or out on the street.

Positive Amazon review: "These advertise a 34" inseam but it’s a lie. I’m 5'10" and these suckers have LOTS of length to spare. It’s glorious. [...] It’s so hard to find long leggings if you’re tall, and these ones deliver."

• Available Sizes: X-Small — XX-Large

Leggings aren't usually a clothing item we consider seasonal, but if you've ever worn thin, transparent leggings in the dead of winter in, say, New England, you know that's a lie. These fleece-lined leggings, however, are the perfect cold weather legging — one that's thick, opaque, and extra warm thanks to the micro-fleece interior. They come in black, gray, and wine, and reviewers say they're "made for very tall people" because even those who are 6-feet report that these "reach about an inch above [their] ankle."

Positive Amazon review: "I love these! They are perfect for winter, very cozy and warm but still stretchy [...] They're perfect for tall women too, I wear a 34 inch leg and these came right down to my ankles."

• Available Sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large

Sustainable fashion is the wave of the future and leggings like this eco-friendly pair both feel amazing and are better for the environment. These mid-rise pants are made from 60 percent viscose from bamboo, 25 percent organic cotton, and 15 percent spandex. They have natural moisture-wicking properties, a wide waistband, and are free of tags so nothing will irritate or itch you. Wash them in your washing machine, but hang them to dry so that they retain their shape. They are offered in five basic, neutral colors: black, white, navy, heather grey, and light grey.

Positive Amazon review: "The material is soft and stretchy and the bamboo gives it a high-quality strength. The inseam is also longer than I expected, which is amazing because I am 6' tall and love the length! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend these leggings to anyone who wants eco-friendly athletic wear that looks great on!"

Positive Amazon review: "These jeans are exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight, very thin (but not see through), stretchy, but still have a jean feel and look. It’s the perfect balance between leggings and actual jeans. The stretch is perfect. They bounce right back.”

When you’re tall, shopping for capri leggings can be a major challenge because many pairs have shorter inseams. But this highly rated pair (with a 4.7-star rating and more than 4,600 reviews) has an inseam that ranges from 26 to 29 inches, depending on the size you purchase, which is in line with the recommendation of a capri inseam of at least 26 inches if you are 5-feet-8-inches or taller. They’re made with polyester and a high 23% spandex and have a high, wide waistband and side seams. Choose among 44 shades.

Positive Amazon review: "Ok I’m SO obsessed with these pants! The comfort level is off the charts! The material is softer and better quality than any yoga/exercise pants I own. I exercised with them on doing squats, cardio etc and they didn’t budge! Not too hot at all and just feel like a second skin. I love the high waist that doesn’t dig in to the tummy and the 2 side pockets are a plus! [...] I’m 5’8 [...]”
