Finding coats and jackets for tall women shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. If you’re tired of too-short sleeves and limited options, Long Tall Sally, I LOVE TALL, and Simply Tall are three retailers worth exploring for outerwear designed with taller frames in mind.
Dear Tall Fashion Brands, We Have Enough Hoodies. 😂
Listen. We appreciate a good hoodie. We really do.
But somewhere along the way, it seems the tall fashion industry collectively decided that tall women only need hoodies, sweatshirts, and the occasional puffer jacket.
Ma’am. We have jobs. We have dinner reservations. We have weddings, date nights, and places to go where a hoodie simply isn’t the assignment.
Sometimes we want a beautiful wool coat. A classic trench. A stylish jacket that pulls an entire outfit together.
And we’d like to wear it without our wrists hanging out like they weren’t invited.
Finding actual tall outerwear shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. Yet here we are, clicking through clothing websites, getting excited about an Outerwear category, only to discover 37 hoodies, 12 sweatshirts, and one lonely jacket that’s sold out in every size.
WE HAVE ENOUGH HOODIES! 😂
Give us the trenches. Give us the wool coats. Give us the rain jackets. Give us the winter coats with sleeves that reach our wrists.
And while you’re at it, give us the measurements. Because calling something tall without telling us how long it actually is? That’s not helping anybody.
Where to Actually Find Coats & Jackets for Tall Women
Okay, now that we’ve established that tall women have enough hoodies to outfit a small country, let’s talk about where we can find some actual outerwear. 😂
I went looking for retailers offering coats and jackets designed for taller frames, not just regular-sized clothing photographed on tall models.
Here are three places worth checking out.
1. Long Tall Sally — The Variety Queen
Best for: Trench coats, wool-look coats, puffers, rain jackets, and everyday outerwear.
Shop Long Tall Sally Coats & Jackets
Long Tall Sally is one of the more established names in tall women’s fashion, and its outerwear collection offers something many tall shoppers struggle to find: variety.
Whether you’re looking for a polished coat to wear to work, a warm puffer for winter, or a casual jacket to throw over your favorite outfit, this is a good place to start.
The advantage is that Long Tall Sally designs clothing specifically for taller proportions, rather than simply offering a regular-length coat in a larger size.
What to watch for: Check individual product descriptions for sleeve length, coat length, materials, and customer reviews. Tall sizing doesn’t automatically guarantee the same fit across every style.
2. I LOVE TALL — For Longer Coats and European Styles
Best for: Long quilted coats, parkas, rainwear, and tailored outerwear.
I LOVE TALL deserves a look, particularly if you’re searching for longer coats that offer more coverage.
One standout from my research was the Blue Wave Oktavia Extra Long Quilted Coat, which listed sleeve lengths of approximately 28–28.7 inches and back lengths of approximately 44.9–47.2 inches, depending on size.
Now THAT is the kind of information I want to see when shopping for tall clothing!
Unfortunately, that particular coat was listed as sold out when I checked. But the retailer’s broader outerwear collection is still worth exploring.
What to watch for: Inventory changes, and international orders may involve different shipping costs, delivery times, and return policies. Check those details before purchasing.
3. Simply Tall — Small Selection, Promising Finds
Best for: Classic jackets, pea coats, and occasional clearance finds.
Simply Tall doesn’t have the largest outerwear selection, but sometimes a smaller collection still has something worth investigating.
Two pieces caught my attention: an embellished pea coat and a classic denim jacket.
The pea coat lists 27-inch sleeves and a 30-inch body length, while the denim jacket lists 27-inch sleeves and a 26-inch body length in Medium.
And yes, I was personally eyeing that denim jacket. Unfortunately, my size wasn’t available. Because apparently even researching tall fashion comes with disappointment. 😂
What to watch for: Sizes are limited, and some clearance items are final sale.
The listed jacket measurements are garment measurements, not a guarantee of fit. Also, I checked its current jacket collection, and the retailer has several other styles, including a vegan-leather jacket and denim trench.
Double-check availability and return eligibility before ordering.

Before You Buy: Check These Four Things
Finding a retailer that sells tall clothing is a great start. But before adding that beautiful coat to your cart, check a few details.
- Sleeve length: Look for actual measurements and confirm whether they’re taken from the shoulder, center back, or another point.
- Body length: A coat that looks knee-length on a model might fit very differently depending on your height and proportions.
- Fabric and construction: Check materials, lining, insulation, and customer feedback. A longer coat isn’t much of a bargain if it falls apart.
- Availability and returns: Limited sizes, international shipping, and final-sale restrictions can make an otherwise promising purchase less appealing.
The Bottom Line
Tall women aren’t asking for anything unreasonable.
We want coats that fit our shoulders, sleeves that reach our wrists, and enough variety to dress for different occasions.
A hoodie is wonderful when we want a hoodie. But sometimes we want to look polished, sophisticated, or just plain cute without sacrificing fit.
Long Tall Sally, I LOVE TALL, and Simply Tall are three places to start looking. None is a guarantee that every style will work for every tall woman, but they offer options designed with taller proportions in mind.
And to the tall fashion brands out there?
We love y’all. But PLEASE. We have enough hoodies. 😂
A quick shopping note: Product availability, sizing, and prices can change. Always confirm measurements, shipping costs, and return policies directly with the retailer before ordering. The brands featured here are shopping resources, not personally wear-tested endorsements.
Stand Tall. Stay Informed. Love Your Long Legs.
