Tall sizes go on clearance in weird, wonderful ways: the size runs are shorter, so when markdowns hit, the good stuff vanishes in days. Here’s this week’s radar, sorted by urgency. Sale sizing is unforgiving, so double-check how each cut runs in our fit guides for Athleta, J.Crew, Gap and Old Navy.
Move now
Skyline High Rise Barrel Leg Pant · Athleta, $34.97 (was $139, that’s 75% off)
Athleta’s barrel-leg in Pink Sand, at a quarter of retail. Tall sizes are already down to 0, 14 and 16. If that’s you, this is a today decision, not a weekend one.
Tall open-back dress in mixed gingham print · J.Crew, $58.99 (was $228)
An actual event dress, cut for tall, at 74% off. Sizes 10–20 still in as of this writing.
Strong buys
CashSoft Rib Midi Sweater Dress · Gap, $24.97 (was $89.95), tall S–XL
Gap’s CashSoft line is the best cashmere-feel-per-dollar in mall retail, and midi length on a tall pattern means actually-midi, not “midi that became a mini.”
Tall Charley kickout cropped pant in faux leather · J.Crew, $44.99 (was $168)
Faux leather with a kick flare, tall waist sizes 26–32. Fall piece at a summer price.
The $10-and-under bin
Crew-Neck Heart Sweater · Old Navy, $7.47 (was $49.99), tall S–XXL
Ruffle-Trim Asymmetrical Mini Dress · Old Navy, $7.97 (was $39.99), tall XS–XXL
Old Navy’s tall clearance is where seven-dollar miracles happen. Sizes are full runs right now; they won’t be next week.
