too short tops

Post by Absaroka »

any tips on finding long enough tops? I am fairly tall and it seems that women's torso's tend to be shorter than mens. Do I go with womens sizes, tall sizes, just look for tunics? So far I have had good results with Lane Bryant and terrible results with Kohls but I am looking for other ideas

Thanks
Andrea

I'm just over six feet tall, so I have the same issue as you.
Women's fashions and their body shapes allow for short-bodied tops.

I purchase women's tall when I can, but I have had some success with just women's size garments.

I recently purchased two of the Lane Bryant "Perfect Tee" shirts.
I like the way the neck is much more open than a man's shirt.
I got the crewneck in Large and they fit really well.
The length on them is 28" and that fits my torso just fine.

You can always layer a woman's top over a lightweight man's undershirt to cover your waist.
