Longer Length Gym Shirts Cut For Women

There actually DO EXIST some longer length sweatshirts, sweat jackets, and long-sleeved tees that are made specifically for women. They are at SJYC Wear. Their sizes reach the low plus-sized range.

Way to go SJYC Wear. I’d love to see some more styles and colors of your long gym shirts!

In case you don’t know the disadvantages of wearing men’s sizes of gym tops just to get the extra length, let me tell you all about them—the neck holes are way too big, the shoulder seams hang way off your shoulder, the sleeves are way too long, there is way too much fabric width-wise in the body, and they only come in neutral colors, so it’s nice to see some longer length gym shirts cut for women.

I’d like to see a store selling breathable, light-weight, but not see-through, longer length gym shirts cut for women without having to buy them in a set with matching pants. The matching sets are useless to me because the pants are never long enough for me. All my long gym pants are from either JCPenney or Long Tall Sally. I just need long, inexpensive, long-sleeved shirts to wear with them.

Other Options

So what do we do when we cannot find what we’re looking for? We cobble together outfits from mainstream stores of course. In addition to going the men’s clothing route, one could go the beach cover-up route. Beach cover-ups, the useful kind at least, not the pointless kind, are cut longer and are made from cotton and cotton blends, so they should double as longer length gym tops well too. One disadvantage of them is that they are often low-cut in the neckline making layering a necessity, which isn’t cooling when working out. Or they cover the chest but are sleeveless also making layering a necessity. But at least we’ve met the main objective of being covered enough to go work out in public
