The Best Tall Workout Leggings

We’re back y’all. I think we’re all in agreement that the last two weeks of holidays were no man’s land as far as remembering which day it was or being our most productive selves. The brief hiatus from posting on the blog has been refreshing, to say the least. We’re glad to be back to share with you the best workout leggings from Tall Long and Curvy and hope you noticed the absence as well, as it means you care! Today we’re sharing more of an opinion post if you have to define it. To be clear, all of our posts are just that: our opinions. It’s our page and based on our personal experiences so it would be difficult to be anything other than ourselves when sharing with you. That’s also the basis of our name – the “real” tall. We’re not here to sugarcoat things for you either. 

Today that means being passionate about certain topics. Over the last couple of weeks, we were each gifted a pair of workout leggings from Tall Long and Curvy. we’d been anxiously anticipating. We’d wondered if they were too good to be true based on the price point alone, but were happy to test them out. Once we received them and tried them on, we were smitten. Actually, Caitlin received the package and put them on first. She immediately sent me a text saying that I was going to die over the leggings. At that, I was thinking – hand them over ASAP! So once I got my pair and put them on, I was elated at the fit, the length, the details, all of it. From there we were plotting to buy many, many more pairs, as long as Tall Long and Curvy was in business. They are so good that our mom even ordered two pairs upon us receiving ours.

A few days later, I saw that Chelsea, the owner of Tall Long and Curvy had shared a post on the Facebook group for buy/sell/trade tall women’s clothing. To sum it up, it was letting women know that a new retailer was available to buy workout leggings. Apparently, that was frowned upon, because the next day as I was scrolling Facebook, I saw an additional post apologizing for the previous post. It took me a second to understand what was going on, but as it dawned on me I grew more and more irate. It’s considered bad form or inappropriate to share your company within the group. This is perplexing to me, considering most women browsing within the group confines are already desperate for answers on where to find x, y, z items. 

As I thought about it more, I reflected on how long I had been a member of that group and not once self-promoted our blog. That’s despite the fact that most of the questions people are asking have been covered repeatedly within this URL. I didn’t want to appear pushy or all about us when the point of the whole blog is to assist tall women! How ironic indeed. Which led me back to how closely this paralleled Chelsea’s experience. She created a company of ridiculously amazing fairly priced leggings for the sole purpose of helping tall women not have to pay a premium (which is a constant thorn in our sides) for well-fitting garments. Instead of getting thanks, it was more like “take this down.” 

Ladies, we’ve been crying out for leggings this good and fairly priced to make their way to the market. I’ve worn them to work out several times and I cannot emphasize how good they felt, no matter how I was moving. They have the high-waist, which is a requirement for Caitlin and me at this point. There are two pockets, for anyone in need of keeping their phone or a key or whatever you need on your person. They are long enough, and the hip to waist ratio is spot on. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we all need to share our good finds by shouting as long and as loud as we can until all of our fellow tall sisters can easily find clothing.

We’re constantly surprised by someone telling us they haven’t heard about a company that carries tall clothing. It tells us that the job is nowhere near done, on our part. All we can do is keep answering any of your questions until you feel equipped to shop successfully! That’s what brings us joy and that’s why seeing this exchange brought our spirits down in a major way. We’ll never be exclusive to any one tall company because all of them deserve to be shared. Within the sisterhood of tall women, we all have our different flavor preferences. We haven’t found a company that covers everyone’s yet – so there is room at the table for all. 

Plus, as budget-conscious women, we know many of you have bemoaned the pricing at various retailers. It’s one of our core passions to not have to pay a premium price for something to actually fit your body. As we’ve continued to grow and educate ourselves, we also don’t want to spend all of our dollars contributing to sweatshops and the like. So while we find a happy medium, we’re thrilled that other women are taking on the battle as well to create reasonably priced products. 

A big thank you to Chelsea McDonald, creator of Tall Long and Curvy and you better believe you’ve made repeat customers out of us. We’re anxiously watching for whatever color/pattern you drop next! Link to Tall Long and Curvy here, she currently just has black leggings.

And although some of these pictures are slightly blurry-they truly captivate the joy and comfort we feel while within these leggings!

***EDIT*** We got a message from someone explaining the full situation on the Facebook group that it was an unnecessary comparison of another small business. It bears repeating, that we support all tall small businesses, and would never knowingly put down another company. We don’t condone disparaging other companies to elevate your own.
