Winter Wedding Guest Tall Dresses

If you’re feeling like weddings are OFFICIALLY BACK in 2022, you’re not imagining things! We just attended our cousin’s beautiful nuptials and we’re getting ready for at least two more this year! So you might be scratching your head wondering where you can find winter tall wedding guest dresses. We’re back today to point you in the right direction! It’s been quite awhile since we did a wedding guest dress round up but you loved it last time, so we are back with more!

ASOS has been our easy go-to when shopping for winter tall wedding guest dresses. They usually have an extensive selection to browse and a decent price point. Last year was probably the exception, but if you had a wedding to attend, you might have been more of an exception as the world is still quite in flux. 

One of the weddings we had last year, Caitlin was the maid of honor. My mom and I both ended up recycling dresses/jumpsuits we’ve had in our closets for years. It was probably the first time I wasn’t tempted by any specific dress when browsing online! The other, we also shopped our closets again and realized we had snagged some dresses on clearance awhile back and hadn’t had a chance to wear yet. We always encourage you to check out what you have, but if you need something new, we get that too and are here to help!

Jenilee’s Dress

Case in point, my under $40 tall velvet dress! It is on ASOS in a couple of different colors and lengths. I got it in size US 10 and borderline could have sized down to an US 8, but I prefer to have it be looser than tighter! I assume you could also play around with how to tie the upper bodice, but I chose to wear it the same as the model. 

Black Dress, Green Dress, Red Dress

Another weird perk? It was super easy for me to take the top part down/off for pumping between the ceremony and reception. Could also then work well for nursing mothers as well. The only thing to note then, is to grab an extra pair of rose petals to replace those removed.

Caitlin’s Dress

Caitlin also snagged another amazing winter tall wedding guest dress option off ASOS. Her dress is a true chic classic you could wear to any wedding that basically doesn’t have floor length gowns as the dress code! You know the dress is a hit when ASOS released it in a couple of different fabrics and colors as well.

We tend to reach for midi dresses for our tall wedding guest dress needs. They feel adequately covered for dancing and church ceremonies. If we’re going to show skin, we choose either sleeveless or backless. Or in my case, being smaller chested I would do a deeper cut as I don’t have any cleavage to pop out. Point being, everyone has different preferences on what they look for in a dress.

Dress the Population

We have to give a mention to Dress the Population brand because our Mom found several dresses of theirs at either Nordstrom or the Rack and they look amazing on her at 6’2! The dresses are also all classics in my opinion, so something you could reuse for years to come for weddings and other dressy functions you attend!

Shopping Lululemon for Tall Clothing

A lot of you might already be perusing Lululemon’s site, knowing you can find certain items that will fit. For those of you that didn’t already know this, we’re here to help you shop Lululemon tall clothing! We also will hopefully shed light on a few new key items to check out as well. Check out our original post on Lululemon here, and also for a few funny pictures to giggle at!

Align Legging

Our top pick would have to be the align leggings. They are available in 31 inch inseam, which works wonderfully for my 38 inch to the floor inseam. The Aligns are our most worn casual leggings. We grab for them first when traveling, and also on errand days when you want to look put together without actually involving effort. For sizing reference, I normally wear 10/12 in bottoms and size 8 is my go-to for the Aligns. Definitely size down maybe two sizes, these have A LOT of stretch. The 31″ inseam is golden for our Lululemon tall clothing needs.

Wunder Under Leggings

The Wunder Under are the first pair of leggings I bought when I won a giftcard. I also need to mention that I wore these leggings throughout my pregnancy and was resigned to them not being wearable after, but the spandex in them recovered! That pair is like 5 years old. They are super pants and worth the “investment.”  

Scuba Hoodie

Along the same lines of the Align leggings, this hoodie is the way to go to update your sweats collection. That is an ongoing discussion amongst friends/family. At what point is it socially unacceptable to go out in public wearing grungy sweats? The limit does not exist! (jk I wanted to make a Mean Girls reference). At some point you don’t want people to catch you out looking like a slob. This sweatshirt is it, for me. I’ve always been a hoodie lover and in college you could catch me slinking around campus with my hood up all the time. The Scuba hoodie is my grown-up option. I have it in red and wear it to/from the gym and also out and about! The sleeves offer an extremely generous length that allow for us tall girls to wear our thumb holes too!

Track That Mid-Rise Lined Shorts 5’

Our athletic thighs fit perfectly in these shorts, which doesn’t happen often! Plus the inseam hits the sweet spot at 5 inches. Honorable mention goes to the wide elastic waistband which lays very comfortably. The only possible thing to improve on this design would be to make them high waisted. But hey, if that’s all we have to settle on, then we’re quite happy! You’re going to want to keep a close watch on these shorts though, because they have a habit of selling out VERY quickly. We are wearing a size 12, so a size up from normal and two sizes up from our lulu leggings.

Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Shirt 2.0

This long sleeve is one of our initial loves from Lululemon. It’s a great athletic fabric that we like to wear during warm ups in the cooler months. It has the thumbholes if you’re wearing outdoors whether it be running or hiking. The body length is great and goes well over our hips. We have bought both 10 and 12. I don’t think there is enough noticeable difference so go with your regular size! Also, we’ve tried the Swiftly Tech race length if you don’t need or prefer the extra body length. I think the sleeves are a bit shorter on that version, just worth noting. Still a great length on Caitlin at 5’11 but not quite there for me at 6’4. It is worth noting that the swiftly tech tank tops are equally as wonderful and the same review goes for the race length. 

Define Jacket

This jacket is super figure flattering, and another piece of Lululemon’s we reach for in the airport regularly. It also has the thumbholes, which still reach long enough for us to actually put to use. I bought this jacket in a size 12. The size 12 gives it a little bit of extra shoulder room for me. It hugs close to the body for a nice fitted look. It is supposed to hit at the hip, but for me, it ends right above the hip. There are so many great color options so your only problem will be narrowing down your favorite! We both have it in several colors and also love to wear to and from the gym!

Align High Rise Biker Shorts

Our Mom (who is 6’2) swears by these biker shorts for running. She is partial to the Bermuda length (10 inches) but they are also available in 6 or 8 inch length. They stay put while running and are the same lightweight align fabric as the leggings!

Energy Longline Bra

We know you don’t necessarily need a sports bra to come in tall but also yes you kind of do. These offer the right shoulder to underbust fit and the long line adds in some next length if you want to wear just a sports bra with leggings without showing too much off. It offers great support and coverage for Caitlin’s fuller C cup. 

Ebb to Street Tank 

Another tank that offers a little bit of a different feel than the swiftly tech. It typically is offered with a ribbed texture and all the extra length in the bottom. This one also comes with a built in shelf bra so if you are good with light support you can skip the bra!

Fast and Free High Rise

These are also an easy favorite for Caitlin. The material is buttery soft yet thick and compressed enough to keep you feeling held in. Most of them also offer pockets which you know we love. They are perfect for all of our boot camp needs. These workout tights come in 28 length, which as mentioned above still hits at ankle length for Jenilee at 6’4.

Pack it Down Jacket and Vest

Caitlin has both of these. The Vest body length is good for both of us. The jacket, I can’t speak to the length working for 6’4 but Caitlin has long arms so it might work if you’re under 6’4!

Down For it All Jacket

MEN’S OPTIONS

The Commission Pant

If you have tall men in your life that you care anything about, these are the work pants they NEED. They come in a 37 inch inseam and are professional looking, while still maintaining a ridiculous comfort level. My husband, our Dad, and our brother absolutely love these pants and would wear ONLY them going forward to work.

Commission Shorts

Also available in multiple inseams, with the same comfortable fit as the pants. The beauty of this material lies in it’s ability to make you look business appropriate while maintaining an unheard of level of comfort (as if you were in loungewear).

ABC Pants

The ABC pants are designed to replace your jeans, so if you’re looking for a more casual pant these are also up to 37 inseam and just as comfortable. For anyone unfamiliar ABC stands for “anti ball crushing.” LOL

Mens Polos 

Our 6’8 brother loves their polos, and the body length works well on him. They are breathable, which is a must for him!

City Sweat Jogger in Tall

Both Caitlin and our Dad have these (men’s) joggers. They have several inseam lengths, up to 32″. Don’t let the mens description deter you, they still fit great for women!

License to Train Jogger

These joggers don’t have an actual inseam on them but in the product description they are designed to fit above the ankle for 32-34 inch inseam.

Happy Shopping!

In summary, we hope this guide will help you shop Lululemon tall clothing with ease! Whether you are shopping lululemon tall clothing for yourself or any tall men in your life, they have options that we have tried and tested for years now! Bookmark this post to come back to later for reference!
