If you've wondered into a LOFT store lately, or browsed their website, you've probably seen Lou & Grey. And, if you're tall, you've probably checked to see see if they carry Tall sizes. They do not, so you were probably disappointed and probably vowed never to shop Lou & Grey again. Well, folks, I'm here to ask you to recant that vow, because Lou & Grey does work for tall women! Or, at least it's worked for me.
The jacket in this outfit, for example, is Lou & Grey:
And the cuffing there is by choice, not necessity.
This skirt is also Lou & Grey:
Is it the world's longest maxi? No, but it is definitely actually a maxi.
Because, for whatever reason, Lou & Grey tend to run a little big (a full size, I'd say) and a little long. A little long for non-giants, that is. For us taller women, Lou & Grey actually works!
Below are some of my current favorite Lou & Grey pieces (please to ignore the dejected faces of the models).
Boucle Sweatshirt
This sweatshirt makes me all kinds of happy. Fuzzy? Check. Gray? Check. Probably long enough in the arms? Probably check.
Shag Coat
I've been very, very big on coats since moving to the frozen steppes of Pennsylvania. I love the shag texture of this one. And I love the fact that it's clearly too long in the arms for the model which means it'll probably be perfect for me!
Quilt Popover
Lately I've been very into denim-colored pieces. You know, pieces that are not denim but are the color of denim. Pieces like this fabulous quilted top.
Panel Front Pencil Skirt
Although you can't see it very well, this skirt, like many Lou & Grey pieces is wonderfully textured. I love that, especially for winter.
Grid Knit Sweater
This sweater reminds me of something from the 80s. I mean that, of course, in the very best way. It also has a nice borrowed-from-the-boys vibe that I like.
You'll notice I didn't include any pants in my picks; that's because I have no idea how Lou & Grey pants fit. But, I can definitely vouch for their tops, sweaters & skirts. At least for those of us up to six foot; I don't think it would work as well for taller women.
What about you, Reader Friends? Have you tried Lou & Grey?
Happy Wednesday, All!
