In an effort not to get your hopes up, I chose a classic skinny jean with a Tall inseam of 30 inches, which gives enough length for most people to cover their ankles. For a mainstream brand, Madewell accommodates more inseams than I can usually find the downside, though, is the Taller jeans, which feature an inseam of 32 inches or longer, sell out very quickly (there are barely any sizes left on the site currently). Madewell makes two tall options, aptly named “Tall,” for those five-foot-eight to five-foot-11, and “Taller,” for those over six feet. There’s no one wash better than another it all comes down to personal preference.ģ0- and 32-inch inseams | Skinny | Medium wash I focused on classic blue jeans rather than colored, white, or black denim. Wash: Because wash plays a huge role in the style and look of jeans, too, each shade is noted below. Very few pant styles can claim the same versatility. And just to note: I don’t subscribe to the teenager philosophy that skinny jeans are “over,” because they go with nearly everything and fit most body types. The story is broken down by category, but if you’d like to skip directly to a specific style, I suggest using the table of contents above to take you right where you want to go. Style: Even though there are lots of different styles out there - skinny, baggy, straight leg, wide leg, flare, cropped, and curvy - you probably have a good idea already of what kind of jeans you want. Sure, women over six feet might scoff at a 30-inch inseam, but because some tall women might have a long torso rather than long legs and vice versa, I wanted to give as many options as possible - especially since most tall women are probably still looking for a 30-to-34-inch inseam instead of the extra-tall lengths. But to get into specifics, I looked for jeans that come with inseams longer than 30 inches and up to 38 inches (which is probably the longest you’d be able to find) to suit more kinds of tall women. Inseam: Yes, you can call this criteria a no-brainer.

Because I completely understand the struggle, I spoke to 13 tall women (between the heights of five-foot-eight and six-foot-six) to find their favorite skinny jeans, straight legs, and even flares that actually fit.īest overall | Best (less expensive) overall | Best wide leg | Best straight leg | Best baggy | Best jeggings | Best flare | Best cropped | Best curve | Best plus size | Best for extra-tall women
And unlike petite women, who can have pants hemmed if they’re too long, I’m out of luck (it’s not like I can add extra fabric). In my experience, most skinny jeans come with a 27- or 28-inch inseam I have a 32-inch inseam, so I’m always looking at a solid four-inch crop unless I buy the tall versions, which can be more expensive, limited in stock - especially when I’m trying to hit the sale section - or not generous enough in length. There are lots of advantages to being five-foot-nine - seeing above the crowd at concerts and always being able to reach the top shelf of the pantry, for example - but finding jeans that fit me is not one of them.
