Tall Personal Shopper: Soccer Shorts for Tall Thin Guy

I received a request to try and help find some longer length soccer shorts for a tall teen. He is 6'4" tall and has a 32" waist.

Soccer shorts generally do not have a long length.  The longest inseam I can find are about a 10", which is not very long. I hope I'm not off base, but I suggest you go with basketball shorts.  I think it's better to have longer shorts to avoid the "bird legs look", then to have the so called "soccer shorts". The basketball shorts have longer inseams and look similar to many styles of soccer shorts.  Here are some I suggest:

 Hoop Shorts 12" inseam

Rose adizero Tech Shorts 12" inseam


Nike - New Money Shorts 11" inseam

adiPower Dwight Howard Shorts 12" inseam

Pro Model 3 Hype Shorts 12" inseam

Nike - Hustle Shorts 11" inseam

Nike - Spike 11" Shorts

Diary of a Tall Fashionista: Bermuda shorts- the answer to the shorts shortage

By: Tiffany DeLangie (Fashion Stylist at Tall Clothing Mall)

Summer, and all that it entails-- BBQs, pool parties, jogging outdoors, going to the park, or just hanging out in the backyard by the chimnea—is almost here! One of the things I love about summer is the chance to wear light, bright, breezy clothes. While I love sweaters, coats, and have an insane boot fetish, there’s something about putting on a strappy tank top, or a fun flirty dress that lifts my mood. Now if only the ‘something’ that lifts my spirits could lift other things that need it, my collection of push up bras would not be necessary...but I digress. Of all the fun flirty clothes we get to don in the summer, I don’t see very many tall women (or short women for that matter) in shorts. I once read a statistic in a fashion magazine that only 20% of women wear shorts. I know fashion magazines make these “facts” up, but I believe that one! And I’d bet that the percentage of tall women who wear shorts is even lower. So, why don’t we tall gals show off our long legs? Aren’t they are supposed to be the envy of other women? Perhaps other women are experiencing the same phenomenon that I have. In the last ten years a strange thing has happened to my legs. The hamstring muscle that I used to see while checking out my rearview seems to have vanished! Oh, wait- there it is…hiding behind this new found cellulite! (Apparently even tall fashionistas have to work out. Who knew?). Even though I’m tall and the weight has more surfaces on which to fall, it sometimes decides to rest on the back of my thighs…which 3 ½ inch inseam shorts highlight…which is exactly what I don’t want. First off, I am afraid to cross my legs in short shorts for fear that the cellulite will be exposed and the paparazzi will photograph and highlight it in In Touch magazine. Ok, so I’m not Tyra but I still have my pride! Secondly, I make an attempt at modesty (isn’t it a lost art?).

So, while I might not be fit as a fiddle and modesty has gone the way of pop culture princesses’ panties, I refuse to give up shorts! Retailers are getting the hint that not everyone is keen on the itty bitty short trend and have begun offering shorts in a variety of inseams. Many retailers have 3 inch, 5 inch, 7 inch, and 9 inch inseams. And some even offer longer length shorts in inseams ranging from 13 to 18 inches. The latter (Bermuda shorts) are my favorite! I’m all about balancing youth with class… [style tip] no matter how old you get, you should strive for a youthful appearance but avoid “trying to look young.” I know it’s a bit of a conundrum, but the point is to wear the trend (a trend is something that is popular; ladies if no one else is wearing it, you probably shouldn’t be either!) that works for you. In terms of selecting the right longer length Bermuda shorts, consider the fit, material, and length. You can find them in low rise or mid rise, in twill or denim. There are dressy options and sporty options. I like pairing something sporty with a more feminine top for an unexpected look. And the great thing about longer length Bermuda shorts is that rather than exploiting your height, they compliment it. They emphasize your long legs and give them a nice, lean appearance. They cover all the problem areas, while leaving the calf and ankle exposed. If you really want to be daring, you can even throw on some heels for a sexy, fun look. Yes, Bermudas are difficult to pull off…but not for women with long legs. So tall ladies, take advantage of the fact that you have legs for days and let’s ban together to stop the shorts shortage!

Men's tall denim shorts - stop wearing short shorts!

I just came across some cool looking, longer surfer style shorts for men. These are not "tall sized", so I'm not sure if the rise will be long enough. However, they are some of the longest shorts I have found.

Great Lengths is a great place to get long shorts for tall men and tall women. They carry some men's tall shorts up to 14" inseam length and women's tall shorts and some capri pants. They also have some longer length maternity shorts. I have ordered from them in the past and was pleased with my long shorts.

Long Shorts for Long Legs

A store to find quality long shorts is Great Lengths. They carry women's long length shorts, men's long shorts and women's long maternity shorts. One problem that I can see is that they don't have long rise, just longer length. I have ordered from them in the past and am happy with my shorts.

Who Makes The Longest Board Shorts?

I've on a quest to find out who makes the longest board shorts. So far, it looks like Man Grove Monkey's Custom Board Shorts may win. I asked their company a few questions about the ordering process and here are the answers.

• They can make board shorts in any length. They'll even make them pants if you want.
• They can accommodate most alteration requests at an up-charge. If you want to submit your specific alterations to their form, they will quote you the pricing. These include alterations to the rise.
• Once you have settled on a design specifications, they will create a custom order page to the shopping cart and send you the URL. Once your card is approved, they will get to work.
• Turnaround time is typically 7 to 10 working days.
• The price is typically $75 per unit plus any alterations. Once they hit a 40 waist size and higher, they add another $6 to the base price.

I know these are a bit pricey. I'm looking for more long board shorts, so if anyone has any ideas, leave them in the comments below.

Tall Men: Please Wear Long Shorts!

I am on a quest to stop all tall men from wearing short shorts. Tom Selleck looked "hot" in his short shorts during Magnum P.I., but that was in the "80s". We have moved beyond that now. For tall men, anything shorter than a 10" inseam makes your legs look ridiculous. They exaggerate your leg length and make you have "bird legs". You need to keep everything in proportion including your shorts. Today I came across several pairs of Volcom longer length shorts for men with 11.5" -12.5" inseams.
