If you’ve been looking at all the cute fall new arrivals and thinking, “I’m too tall for that,” I feel you — I’m 5’10”. But as a shopping writer who’s tried it all, I have a running list in my head of which brands are actually long enough. I wear athleisure most days, whether while working from home or running to Pilates class, so I have the lowdown on the best athletic-wear fall arrivals for tall girls.
A PR rep once explained to me that more affordable brands make clothing for the average height, 5’4”. This would explain why clothing never seemed to fit me growing up, shopping at the mall in Arkansas. And that’s not even taking into account that women’s clothing sizes literally just seem to be made up. She continued that pricier brands tend to design for “model height,” 5’10”. No wonder there seems to be a direct correlation between the price of an item and it actually fitting me.
Don’t worry, though, because I’m on a budget like everyone else. So I have both affordable and splurge-worthy fall 2025 activewear recommendations for the tall gals out there. Hear all about my favorite brands ahead.
Colorfulkoala
Colorfulkoala is one of the few affordable activewear brands that does a 28-inch inseam. They’re sold on Amazon and offer similar styles to your high-end favorites.
Colorfulkoala Buttery Soft High Waisted Yoga Pants
These classic black leggings have a similar look to the Lululemon Aligns and are super flattering.
Alo
All of Alo’s standard-length styles are long enough for me.
Alo High-Waist Airlift Legging
You can’t go wrong with these bestselling Alo leggings. Their subtle shine is flattering, and they give your ‘fit a high-end feel.
Alo Airbrush One And Done Onesie
This onesie is great for fall layering and has a sexy open back.
Lululemon
Lululemon’s standard 28-inch pant length is long enough for me, plus they even offer 31-inch bottoms.
Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant
I can’t believe I’m telling you this, but I’ve had the same pair of black Align leggings for the past 10 years. Sure, I should probably throw them out, but all this to say, their insane quality and comfort level have yet to be duplicated.
Carbon38
Carbon38 is worth the price because, for one, it’s long enough, and for two, its buttery-soft fabrics are so comfortable and never pinch. I’m always grabbing for these non-compressive styles.
Carbon38 Double Layered Contrast Bra and Contrast Waistband Legging
I love the layered look of this set that comes in deeper hues for autumn.
Carbon38 Strappy Tank and High Rise Legging
This set is another one of my favorites because it’s so comfortable that you honestly feel like you’re wearing nothing.
LSPACE
I’ve had luck with LSPACE’s activewear being long enough for me.
LSPACE Turner Legging
This set is super flattering, and you guessed it, long enough.
LSPACE Ace Jumpsuit
This jumpsuit is so cute on and is great for fall layering.
Aerie
Aerie is an affordable go-to for pants that come in long lengths.
Offline by Aerie Real Me High Waisted Crossover Flare Legging
These viral crossover flare leggings are as flattering as everyone says, plus they tend to go on sale. If you want just a super comfortable pair of leggings rather than a compression pair, these are for you.
Vuori
The torso on Vuori’s jumpsuits is long enough for me, so I love grabbing for them for a one-and-done outfit for Pilates class.
Vuori Halo Essential Jumpsuit
I’m into the cute low back on this high-end looking jumpsuit that’s even on sale right now.
Also shop these lululemon steals: classic black Align shorts, belt bags for just $29 and more.
