Clothing retailers don’t consider tall and muscular women

[Auburngal]

I had to return many tops I have purchased as either too short in length or too tight on the arms. I’m 5ft 8 with regular length legs

I would be ok if the tops are an inch longer. That wouldn’t look silly on women who are 5ft 4. Then some tops if I wear the next size up, it looks very baggy on the neckline

Where is the best place to buy tops? I don’t want to spend loads on a single top.

Have you tried COS and Arket? I find their clothes a good fit and I'm tallish and slim but athletic build. Skandi brands design for skandi builds:). I can't wear zara etc cos they're designer for short curvy women.

I shop in Cos, but I’m very short (1.6m!) and I don’t find the sleeves too long, so not sure if that would be the right shop for you. They do have a loose fit though, so might be better on your arms.
