Tall women, I need your help!

Please help! I might be a lost cause.
I’m a 40 year old 6’2 with broad shoulders, size 14 top half, and size 16 bottom half. I just can’t find any clothes to fit me that aren’t aimed at much younger (ASOS/boohoo) or expensive and a bit boring (LTS) and just want some nice t shirts/tops , shorts and skirts but can’t find anything. Any other tall women out there with any suggestions?

Thanks for all the suggestions- I’m going to go and check them out. I’ve always shied away from oversized clothes as I thought they’d make me look enormous but maybe it’s time to give it a try!

I’m not as tall as you (5’10’’) but I find next tall range is good for longer length t shirts and dresses, the pants are too long for me but they may be good for you?

Might be worth trying M&S trousers in long - they are reaaalllly long! They have some really nice wide legged trousers that look a lot more expensive than they are.

Max Mara but pricey. Look for sales.

Levis and Uniqlo jeans are great because they offer inseams in a variety of lengths.

I am 5"8 but have a very long body for my height and short legs so I mostly need tall for jumpsuits/dresses tops/swimsuits etc.
I have found Boden tall range quite good recently.
