Dress pants seem to be one that tall, plus size women continually struggle with. Indeed, there is only one option of the four below that will comfortably fit my legs (s/o to Avenue!)
I have, however, included brands that are at least trying to offer us options for the office and/or meetings. There is something distinctively boss babe about rocking up in a good pair of dress pants, so if you’re looking for options with longer inseams and generous sizings, look no further!

This is the winner for me at it isn’t really close! These dress pants give you outfit flexibility for the office or meetings elsewhere. Avenue always impress with their sizings; these did run up to a 38 but are sold out in that now, and the generous, 33 inch inseam ensures that they’ll fully cover longer legs. I like the “mesh tummy control” insert to secure your tummy, a constant pain for myself.
For the relatively budget price these simple dress pants are a no-brainer for anyone working in the office. Pair with a loose-fitting top or white tee and block-colored cardigan to complete the boss babe look.

Land’s End claim you’ll feel “professional and poised even though it feels like you’re wearing joggers” with these “sport knit” dress pants that they offer in regular (30 inch inseam) or tall (32 inch inseam.)
Land’s End has often been a go-to for taller plus women like myself, and based off the reviews, these pants are designed for women with a bigger waist (check!) They’re also warm and perfect for traveling to and from the office. I love the classic plaid look on these but they’re also available in block colors.
The only negative of these is that the tall sizings only run to an XL, which means they’re not the best dress pants for tall and very curvy figures, though at least the “regular” inseam is an okay 30 inches if you need to size up.

Simply Tall slay at long inseams, but don’t size up past a 20. The plus about Simply Tall is that all their clothes are made in America and they’re just a real decent business to support, but not surprisingly they’re more geared toward taller than larger women.
talbots hampshire ankle pants ($$$)

Sizes up to: 24

Talbots are on the expensive end of this round-up but worth a feature, as long as your inseam is under 30 inches! I know, it’s not going to really fit all of us, and if you have a 33 inch inseam like me you’re not going to worry about these! But the black and green plaid on these is just a very cool and chic design worth looking into if they’ll fit.
