Most of J.Crew’s tall markdowns are dresses and skirts, which is what a store clearing summer inventory looks like.
The other three stores are in this week’s sale radar.
Before you buy, the J.Crew tall fit guide is worth two minutes. J.Crew cuts tall generously, and sale returns are less fun than sale purchases.
The big one: full tall size run, 55% off in a week
Tall open-back dress in cocoa block print · $100 (was $248), tall 2 to 20
This is the clearest standout of the week. Deep discount plus every size available almost never happens at the same time, because by the time a price gets this low the sizes are usually picked over.
Open-back is a cut where the tall pattern earns its money, since the back opening has to sit in the right place on a longer torso or the whole dress reads wrong.
More tall deals at J.Crew
Five of them are dresses.
Tall puff-sleeve popover dress in striped cotton poplin · $60, was $133, $148 retail, tall XS to XL in White Warm Lilac
Tall puff-sleeve popover dress in contrast-trim cotton poplin · $60, was $133, $148 retail, tall XS to XL in white
Same dress, two prints, both cut 55% in a week, both with a full XS to XL tall run. At $60 these are the best price-to-size-availability trade in the whole clearance. Cotton poplin holds its shape on a long frame better than a drapier fabric would, which is why J.Crew keeps making this one.
Tall Ondine mini dress in striped double cotton poplin · $80, was $178, $198 retail, tall M to XL
A $98 cut in a week. Worth saying out loud that “mini” on a tall pattern usually arrives closer to a short dress than a genuine mini, which most of us consider a feature.
Tall V-neck popover dress in linen · $64, was $142, $158 retail, tall L only
Black linen at 60% off retail, but one size left. Move or skip, there is no middle option here.
Tall Soleil pant in striped linen · $71, was full price at $118, tall XS to XL
The Soleil is one of J.Crew’s better-reviewed tall pants and it rarely goes on sale, so 40% off is worth noticing.
The deepest tall discounts on the site right now
The cuts are steeper here and the sizes are thinner, so read the size line carefully.
Tall open-back dress in mixed gingham print · $53, was $228, 75% off, tall 14, 18 and 20
We flagged this one in June at $59 with sizes 10 through 20. That is exactly how a tall clearance goes: the price keeps falling and your size leaves before the discount finishes.
Tall vintage flare pant in washed twill · $37, was $148, 75% off, tall 30 only
Tall shirt-dress in bandana-print cotton poplin · $67, was $228, 70% off, tall 2 only
Tall mid-rise kickout jean in White Denim · $45, was $148, 70% off, tall waist 34 only
A waist 34 in tall at 70% off is a genuinely rare object. If that is your size, this is the single best value on the page.
Tall patch-pocket pullover dress in structured cotton poplin · $54, was $148, 65% off, tall XS to XL
65% off with a complete size run in white. The other combination worth acting on this week.
Pants and jeans with every size still in stock
The dress rack has the drama, but the pants are where the complete tall size runs are hiding.
Tall garment-dyed western straight jean · $73, was $158, 55% off, tall waist 25 to 32, all of it
Tall utility slim-wide jean in Ecru Wash · $69, was $148, almost 55% off, tall waist 25 to 32, all of it
Tall Kaya pant in four-season stretch · $69, was $148, almost 55% off, tall 0 to 16 in Crimson Bloom
Tall Carolina pant in four-season stretch · $73 (was $158), tall 0 to 16 in black
Wide-leg and flare in a stretch fabric, both under $73, both with essentially the whole numeric run. If you buy tall pants once a season, this is the week.
The white denim thing
- Tall curvy slim-wide jean · waist 28, 30, 31, 32
- Tall nipped straight jean in stretch · waist 26, 27, 30, 32
- Tall slim jean · waist 31, 32
White denim is a July purchase that gets used in September, so the timing is deliberate. Pick the cut, not the price, because the price is identical.
About the cropped pants
Two of the deepest discounts are cropped, and we want to be clear about what that means at tall height.
Tall cropped Stratus pant in block print is $39 (was $148), 75% off, with the most complete size run in this entire clearance: 2 through 16 in numeric and XS through XXL in letter sizing. It is also, per the name, cropped.
Tall Charley kickout cropped pant in faux leather is $45 (was $168), almost 75% off, in tall 29 and 32.
A pant designed to crop at the ankle in regular sizing lands higher than that on a tall frame, and the tall version closes part of the gap but usually not all of it. Buy either one because you want a cropped pant, which is a perfectly good thing to want at 75% off. Just do not buy one expecting a full-length trouser, because the word in the product name is doing its job.
The TLDR summary
🛍️
If you want the best odds of your size being there: the cocoa block print open-back dress at $100 has the full 2 to 20 run, the two puff-sleeve popover dresses at $60 have full XS to XL, and the patch-pocket pullover dress at $54 does too.
If you want the deepest cut and you are willing to gamble on sizing, the gingham open-back dress at $53 is 75% off in tall 14, 18 and 20.
