This year several designers brought back pant cuffs. For the average female, pants cuffs are just a fashion element. For the tall female it’s a prayer answered for extra material that can easily be lengthened. Michael Kors (www.michaelkors.com) is one such designer. He has several slacks with cuffs that can be worn alone or paired with a suit jacket. They are on the expensive side, but the fit, material, cut and length are perfect!!! Michael Kors’ Women’s line includes clothing, handbags, shoes, watches, accessories, and fragrance. In addition, there is a Men’s line and bedding.
Michael designs classic pieces which can easily be mixed with denim and flip flops. His designs are conservative enough for the workplace, yet are fresh and exciting for about town. Hilary Duff joined Michael in one of his beautiful purple evening dresses at the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards at the New York Public Library on Monday, June 2nd.

Michael has won two Council of Fashion Designers of American awards, and is a judge on Project Runway. Learn more: http://bloggingprojectrunway.blogspot.com/

I buy alot of Ellen Tracy pants and have them faced. Sometimes I find a Taheri or other designer pair of pants that is quite long but too often the rise is too low for a mid aged woman. That is a problem with J Crew as well- if you are over 30 you need to find a mid to high rise pair of pants. I have actually found two pair of Eileen Fisher pants (a black crepe dressy pair and a denin casual pair) that were introduced in very limited quantities in Tall. They were introduced in different seasons and probably did not sell well as no one knew that Eileen Fisher carried them.
