Stranded in NYC and need tall pants. Help!

Taffy

So, I live in the Midwest and buy everything online because I’m 6’0, size 14/16 with a 35” inseam. This has always been successful. Except that I’m now snowed in in NYC on what was supposed to be an overnight trip and is now a 6 day trip.
Do any of you have suggestions of stores that stock tall clothes actually IN store? Most stores only have them
Online unless it’s a return, so I’m at a loss.
Or maybe some brands in the department store to look at? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Taffy, not sure where you can find extended sizes. What about picking up some warm under layers. Perhaps Uni qlo? Maybe pick up something unisex?

I do believe that stormy weather calls for comfort food. Maybe this will help:

Stay warm! Central Park is beautiful in the snow.

My suggestion is to head over to the mens department in stores. You will get the length and a boyish fit - but could be super cute.

I just googled “tall womens clothing new york city stores” and got a lot of promising hits, including discussions on Trip Advisor and Yelp. If nothing else, you could get tall boots to tuck pants that are a few inches too short into.

I hope you can enjoy your impromptu winter vacation in the city!

It looks like Long Tall Sally had (has?) a pop up store at 25 Greene Street. Probably not open now, but it wouldn't hurt to check.

New York & Company stocks tall pants in store, but you really have to watch the quality. I've got a couple great pairs of pants there over the years, but I've tried on, and rejected, dozens more. The Limited stocks tall sizes in my Midwest state, and Old Navy stocks some jeans in tall sizes.

Otherwise, I sometimes have success in stores such as Banana Republic or J Crew if I check the clearance rack. If someone returns a tall size in store, it goes on the clearance rack, and you can occasionally score something really good for a fraction of the original price. (operative word is "occasionally.").

Finally, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Macy's, and other department stores always have a few pants and jeans with long inseams mixed in with the rest; you just have to be persistent to find them. Now that I think about it, Macy's I.N.C. brand stocks tall pants in store.

Good luck, and let us know if you find something good.
