I’m 6’4 and size 16-18 and I had a speedy 25 for a while but I sold it as I found it very small.
Now I have the 30 B and I love it, I can even wear it crossbody and almost below my hip on the longest setting. With the adjustable strap I’m sure yours would work crossbody too.
Hiii I picked the 30 B and I love it!!!! It’s not too big just right. Thank you!
 
I bought the Speedy 30 (before speedy B came out) because the SA said it was the classic size. It was too large of a bag for me and I was never able to fill it. About 1.5 years ago I bought the empreinte speedy B in 25 and it’s perfect (but the zippered opening is wider in the empreinte).
 
Don't know how old you are, I'm a little older than the 20 something year olds that you see on utube videos with the modeling shots, but I think the 30 speedy or 30B looks like luggage. I'm fairly tall, 5'10", and have the speedyB 25 & I think it looks great as an everyday bag especially if you don't want to carry around a heavy bag! I have a friend that carries a lot of stuff to work, but she uses tote bags and if you need to carry enough that you need a larger bag than the 25 then just buy a neverfull or a tote bag!
 
I have the 30 and I think it’s perfect. I have a hand carry 35 and I don’t think that looks ridiculous either (I’m 5’5” size 10-12). I do think the 25 might be too small for me and I’ve heard the opening on the 25 annoys some people too (just because it is a smaller bag it’s hard to get in/out). That said I don’t think it would look bad to get the 25 either. Since you can’t try it on in person I’d go to the speedy boards here and look for mod pics to get an idea.

I think the opening on the 25 is annoying too.

While I'm not as tall as you, I'm a size 16/18 and I like the 30 because it has a bigger opening BUT hate it because everything gets lost. Then I have the 25 and while I like the size, the opening sometimes annoys me. I've been using the 20 alot recently to the point I forced myself NOT to use it anymore this Summer, however it has the perfect opening and perfect amount of storage for me. Hope this helps.
 
I am only 5'6" but I'm a size 18/20 and I have a 40, so that goes without saying that I recommend the 30. I just feel that someone with your height, I feel it would look so much better for your frame.
