tracksuit for 5' 11'' girl

    I'm a 5'11'' tall girl, 25 years old and find it really difficult to find fashionable clothes. I'm size 10 and it's impossible to find a tracksuit long enough, the long sizes in the sports shops and every other young shop i've tried bearly cover my ankles!
    The same when it comes to jackets, they always look too short and the sleeves only go to my wrist, and any tops i buy end up being belly bearing tops.
    I have found a good store for jeans though i have to say, berksha in dundrum, all extra long jeans.

    Please help?

    I'm in the same boat. I'm 5'10 and an 8 and it's near impossible to find tracksuit bottoms. Zara TRF range can be long, you have to try them on though as they can vary in fit but nice styles and reasonable too. Try www.sweatybetty.com, they do long lengths in some of their bottoms, not too cheap though. Rock and repulic do gorgeous jeans, Topshop do a tall range which is much more reasonable and goes to a 36" inside length. The tops in the range are the exact same as the ones in the regular range bit with a little extra length on the torso and sleeves. They are also are good for short skirts that are a bit longer. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but I like wearing shorter skirts, however the regular ones tend to look really tarty on me because my legs are quite long. HTH

    Male equivalent of the same problem - I can't get tracksuit bottoms in my size at all - even "High and Mighty" seems to only make them in extra wide, not extra long.

    But.. if you're about in Belfast I'm sure Long Tall Sally opposite Castlecourt will have them.

    (Do Berksha do mens jeans too? If so, where are they?)

    They do in certain shops. Not sure where they have men's clothes but they're on first floor of Jervis St and in Dundrum. They're owned by Inditex who own Zara and Pull & Bear
