Tall Women's Shirts: 2023 Guide to a Well-Rounded Closet

When it comes to stocking your wardrobe with go-to tops, the lack of options for tall women's shirts can make deciding what to wear feel like a chore. You may find that tops are too short for your torso or that shirts that are the correct length may fit too boxy on your frame. Worry not, at American Tall we have a wide selection of tops designed for taller frames so you can ensure you have all of your essentials as well as some statement-making pieces.


Whether you’re looking to upgrade your classic crewneck tees to perfectly fitting pieces or find office-ready button-up tops that flatter your frame, these are some of our must-have tall women’s shirts for every wardrobe.

Our Picks: The Best Tall Women’s Shirts 2023

Classic tee

The quintessential cool girl wardrobe staple, women's tall t shirts pair well with trousers or denim. At American Tall, we offer a variety of must-have silhouettes. A crewneck tee provides an easy go-to while a v-neckline highlights your collarbones and favorite necklaces.

Breezy tank

Ideally for sunny days or as a layering piece, women's tall tank tops are a wardrobe essential. The sleeveless design helps you keep cool in warmer weather. We also love to stock up on fitted tanks to layer under button shirts, sweaters or blazers.

Versatile Bodysuit

Debatably one of the hardest things to shop for as a tall woman, a bodysuit is one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your collection. Luckily, American Tall has a selection of bodysuits designed specifically for longer torsos. The benefits of a bodysuit is that it gives the illusion of a tucked-in top without the fuss of making sure your hemline is hidden.

Sporty Sweatshirt

Kicking back and relaxing is made easy with tall women's sweatshirts. Designed to be a casual piece, banded cuffs and hem on sweatshirts help lock in warmth when temps begin to drop, and some styles even come with a half or quarter-zip to customize your coverage.

Cozy Knit

An essential in everyone’s rotation, sweaters can be one of the most difficult things for tall women to add to their wardrobe. Due to the knit construction of sweaters, finding a sweater that provides enough lengthwise but not in excess widthwise can be a bit tricky. Fortunately, American Tall offers a great selection of stylish sweaters designed specifically for tall women.

Sophisticated Button-Up

Get office ready with a button-up top that wears well tucked or untucked. What makes button-up tops difficult for tall women to find is that oftentimes the length isn’t sufficient for a polished office-appropriate look, or your sleeves have to be rolled up to avoid the awkward look of bare wrists in a length that just doesn’t cut it for your long arms. We offer a selection of button-up shirts for tall women that add a tailored look to any ensemble.
