A Tall Girl's Podcast

The tall fashion industry has definitely made a lot of progress over the past few years.  Before, tall women didn’t have any women’s options, meaning they had to resort to clothing that wasn’t long enough or men’s clothing.  However, over time, small tall-specific brands have been popping up, finally offering options that fit our long limbs.  Big retailers even joined in on this, providing long an...

Growing up tall is more than the basketball jokes and the “How’s the weather up there?” questions.  I mean, it’s a large part of it, don’t get me wrong.   From when we’re kids in the playground and our peers call us a bunch of ridiculous names, to our teen years when family members are commenting on our long limbs to when we’re adults and we overhear our crush saying they don’t like taller women,...

People have a lot to say about dating as a tall woman.  We’re often told that our options are limited because there aren’t loads of tall men out there in the world. And in conjunction with that, we’re told to keep our options open and consider shorter men. Then, our experiences show us that many men don’t prefer or even consider tall women when dating, for whatever reason, whether they find us int...

There are so many things to love about being tall as a woman.  We naturally command every room we enter. We’re naturally more respected. We give off modelesque vibes. We can walk quickly, run quickly, and reach for things on top shelves without asking. Clothes hit differently on us. We stand out without trying. And the list goes on and on and on… And with all of these amazing things to love about...

This year was definitely the year for tall women on social media. And I’m HERE FOR IT.  Starting with the Big Mama trend, tall women have been showing up online embracing their height and size, and other people have been eating it up, too, saying that tall women are beautiful and so underrated. Like, yes, yes, we are.  The Big Mama trend has led to a whole slew of smaller trends where tall women a...

The tall girlies are tired y’all.  The tall girlies are tired and annoyed by the fashion industry not being inclusive of tall women.  Prime example: one of the biggest complaints I hear from tall women is that clothing stores have a petite section but not a tall section. I honestly still don’t understand the thinking behind that, but whatever :/ Anyways, another complaint is that yes, some major b...

Many clothing brands love to lie. Oof we are starting off strong here lol.  But it’s kind of true.  Clothing brands often lie or are misleading about the quality of their clothing, the color, the fit, you name it. Like you know when you order “tall pants,” but they end up coming in and fitting like capris? Or you see a dress fit nicely on a model who’s like 5’10,” but when you receive it, it fits...

Being tall is absolutely amazing, but it can also be annoying at times… No one can deny that fact lol.  One of the most annoying things is the clothing situation and not being able to find pants that reach our ankles, long sleeves that reach our wrists, shoes that are big enough, etc. Honestly, that’s probably the #1 problem tall people experience, especially women.  People and their stares, comme...

If you’re a tall girly listening to this right now, tell me if you’ve ever had this realization.  You’ve been following this one specific fitness creator for years. She’s your go-to and you want to look and feel like her. You copy her workouts, try out some of her recipes, take the supplements she recommends, all of it. However, your body still looks nothing like hers… In fact, you’re not seeing a...

Did you know that tall-specific brick-and-mortar stores once existed? Like actual physical stores that sold tall clothing? I don’t know about you, but I’m just now finding out about this. These days, we’re so used to not being able to find what we need in stores. Pants fit like capris, long sleeves hit like three-quarters, and dresses never quite reach the right length. And as tall girls, we’re so...

Do any other tall girls know that feeling when you walk into a room, and it’s like all eyes are on you?  Idk…you get kind of clammy and feel like you wanna run away and hide.  Or what about that feeling when you see yourself in a group picture and realize how much you stick out in comparison to others? OR that feeling when some random person comes up to you in a store just to point out how tall yo...

If you’re a tall girly reading this right now, I want you to tell me if this has ever happened to you.   You’re at a bar, or if you’re under 21 in the U.S., you’re somewhere other than the bar, and a random stranger comes up to you and asks you how tall you are. Nothing new, of course; it happens from time to time. You’re feeling good vibes today, so you answer the question.  Just as an example, y...

The tall girlies have come a long way with the fashion and clothing struggles.  Whether it’’s not finding clothing items that are long enough or having to settle for weirdly fitting men’s clothing, we’ve been through A LOT.  But now we have so many options. Bigger retailers are now including tall sizing for some of their pieces and various small tall brands are popping up left and right. Hearing t...

We’re gonna start with a question.  Have you ever noticed how height plays a role in how you’re treated as a woman?  Just as an example: many women feel as though people take them more seriously partially due to their height whereas many short women feel the opposite.  Physical appearance plays a huge role in how people perceive you. And to many, that usually means clothing and personal style, bod...

Existing as a tall woman can be difficult at times. Okay, I’m making it seem like being a tall woman sucks. And truth be told, it DOES suck sometimes, but overall, it is a beautiful experience. Truly. There are so many things to love about being a tall girly.  However, I’m not gonna lie to y’all. There are other features in addition to our height that often play a part in our unique experiences th...

Dating as a girly is such a beautiful experience.  Well…it should be a beautiful experience.  Because dating as a woman in 2025 can honestly be a hot mess. So adding height to the mix (like being a tall girly) can definitely make it an even hotter mess. And some of the experiences I’ve heard and/or read literally validate that last point.  I’ve heard many things from their dates lying about their...

There are many types of people who have some tension with tall women.  For some reason, that sounds very odd to say, but it’ll make more sense the deeper I get into this episode.  We have the old people who have no problem being shady towards the tall girlies. And if you’re a tall girl listening to this right now, I’m sure an old lady on the street has told you that you’re never gonna find a husba...

We’re gonna set the scene for the tall girls. By the way, this may or may not actually be a true story.  You’re a tall girly in the grocery store, shopping because we all have to eat. A lady approaches you and asks you to reach a can of whatever off a high shelf. Well, a high shelf for her because she’s pretty short. Now, of course, it’s your literal duty as a tall citizen to reach things from hig...

If you’re a tall girly, I’m sure you’ve heard the idea that tall women are perceived as masculine.  I mean, there’s nothing new here. We know height equals masculinity in society’s eyes or whatever, leading many people, whether people we know or complete strangers, to kind of act out on this idea by treating us aggressively and even misgendering us.  We all know the gist here. But there’s a bit of...

Every single tall girl tuning in right now knows the struggle of finding clothes that fit properly.  We have the clothes that, quite frankly, aren’t long enough. The clothes that are long enough, but the proportions are horrendous (like the only reason the pair of pants is long enough is because the crotch area is down to our knees lol). We also have the brands lying about their clothing being “ta...

It’s no secret that there are people in a tall woman’s life who can make her insecure, and this can be either growing up, in their adult life, or both stages. And I think I did a few episodes regarding each group or some of these groups of people. We have our peers, especially growing up, whether it’s our classmates, teammates, or “friends” calling us those weird, annoying names and asking dumb qu...

Do any other tall girls remember almost always being paired up or grouped with the boys during gym class?   Let me get into this story.  So I was in the 9th or 10th grade, I think? We have different units where we do a different activity for a few weeks, then move on to the next activity for a few weeks, and so forth and so on. So at one point in time, it was the basketball unit. I’m sure you know...

At some point in their lives, whether for a short period of time or for years and years and years, many (if not all) tall girls have felt insecure about their height.  It’s natural. It’s inevitable. Everyone gets insecure at times. And if we lived through similar tall girl experiences, the insecurities are DEFINITELY real.  However, there are people who don’t believe they’re real?? Or let me rephr...

I wanna provide a little context for the tall girlies before getting into this episode.  I went shoe shopping with a friend a few weeks ago because, you know, a girly had a couple of outings coming up, so I wanted to get some new shoes. Little did I know that that would be a little difficult, but we’ll get into that in a second. We went to Nordstrom Rack and walked past rows and rows of women’s sh...

Alright tall girlies, picture this.  Hypothetically, you’re single and into men. Oof, we’re already off to a rather interesting start lol.  You’re on this date with a guy, and he’s tall too. Maybe he’s around you’re height; maybe he’s a lot taller than you. Let your imagination run wild lol. This is a first date, by the way.  It’s going great; you’re getting to know each other, cracking jokes, get...
