Tall Women Are FED UP: Why Tall Fashion Keeps Missing the Mark ft. Altagia

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 are embracing their height. I will say it’s died down a teeny bit, but now the tall girlies are trending again, but for something different. There’s a bit of drama and content highlighting one of the struggles we face as tall women. And I kinda wanna give my thoughts on them, so make sure you tune in to the full episode! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews  

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 brands sell tall clothing options, but they’re not ‘tall’ enough. Listen, it’s a whole mess out here y’all. And part of the reason for this podcast is to put you guys on to the clothing brands that are specifically for tall women, including Altagia. Today, I’m joined by founder and fellow tall girly, Alina, to discuss what many brands get wrong about tall clothing, why some tall clothing brands are lacking in the style department, and the story behind her brand, so definitely tune into this episode for more! Here are her deets: Website: https://altagia.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/altagia.brand/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@altagia.brandBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews  

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 like a shirt? Well, if you’re a tall girly listening to this, I know the answer is yes. Anyways, what if I told you that brands do this ON PURPOSE? Yes, it turns out that brands aren’t oblivious to what they’re doing with “tall friendly” clothing. A marketing tactic reveals that brands are knowingly deceiving tall women. So today, we’re gonna discuss that in this episode and how tall women can sniff out these lies.

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, comments, jokes, and backhanded compliments: those things can also get annoying or even make us insecure. Spaces like bathrooms, cars, airplanes, and kitchens aren’t the most tall-friendly, making some of the most basic life tasks very uncomfortable or hard to do. These are just a few of the struggles. Recently, more and more tall women have been speaking up on social media about the things they love about being tall, especially with trends like the Big Mama trend. However, there’s been a bit of a shift. There’s a new trend where the tall girlies are now expressing their insecurities and frustrations surrounding their height.This kinda makes you wonder: is the tall girl confidence real, or is it just a trend that’s dying out? Well, we’re answering this question in today’s episode, so be sure to tune in! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews  

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 any type of results. One day, you’re scrolling through this fitness creator’s page and stumbled across a video you haven’t seen before where she lists off her measurements and find out she’s 5’4” and maybe weighs 120 pounds. Now it doesn’t click at first, but you may be standing at 5’9” and weigh 180 pounds or standing at 6’3” and weigh 220 pounds. Yet, all you can think about is why your body doesn’t look like hers. You’re not alone in this. So many of us tend to take advice from those who have different body types because that’s what our feeds are filled with. So today, we’re diving into tall girl fitness and health, where I’m calling out myths, lies, and unrealistic expectations and talking about why so many tall girlies feel lost when it comes to their health and fitness. Tune in for more! **And quick disclaimer: I am NOT a health professional. This is general information.

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 frustrated by this.That’s why I’m so excited about today’s episode. I’m joined by not one, but two guests: Alli and Amy, the tall sister duo behind Amalli Talli. They’ve experienced the tall-girl fashion struggles that so many of us face, and they decided to do something about it.In this episode, we’re talking about why tall clothing isn’t sold in stores, why tall brick-and-mortar stores don’t exist anymore, what other brands get wrong when making tall clothing, and of course, the story behind their brand Amalli Talli.We have a lot to cover today, so make sure you tune into the full episode!Here are their deets: Website: https://amallitalli.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amallitalli Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amallitalliPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amallitalli/ Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews  

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 you are/tell you that you’re tall? Geesh, there are a lot of feelings going on here. I’ll give extra hugs to the girlies who’ve experienced all of these feelings. But these experiences have something in common, and that involves being seen, being noticeable, maybe even being judged. In today’s episode, we’re gonna talk about how some tall women don’t like or even fear being perceived, and how that’s ultimately detrimental to their confidence and mental health.

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, you say that you’re 6’2” because you are.  And then the stranger says, “You can’t be 6’2” because I’m 6’2” and I’m looking up at you.” And no, you’re not wearing heels, by the way. Or you are and proceed to take them off to show your actual height (spoiler: you’re still taller).Either way, you’re like no, I AM 6’2”, but whatever. Then, the stranger quite literally starts arguing with you about how you’re wrong and you’re the one lying and bla bla bla. And you’re just like chill, we literally don’t even know each other; it’s not that deep babes. There are many tall women who have experienced something like this, and I’m sure they all question why it's THAT serious. Well, we’re hopefully gonna get to the bottom of this in today’s episode, so make sure you tune in! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews  

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 this, you’d think everything is all dandy, right?WRONG. Well, kinda. We have tall clothing, but according to some tall women, there seems to be something lacking. Like taste…or style. Oh dear, that sounds a bit harsh. In today’s episode, we’re gonna determine whether or not tall-friendly women’s clothing is ugly and explore the reasons why some tall women believe that they actually are kinda ugly.

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, body art, even skin tone and weight. However, height is one of those more subtle things that people don’t even realize they’re treating you a certain way because of it, whether in the workplace, friendships, or even romantic relationships. And we’re gonna dive deeper into why this is the case, how that affects the everyday lives of tall and short women, and the role it plays in both parties’ confidence, so make sure to tune in today! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews
