I Need Jeans for Long Legs ...

**Q.**I am really skinny with long legs. It seems like when I find jeans that fit my body they are way too short. Then, if I get the right length for my long legs, they are just way too big around. What can I do?

A. Well, I have good news and bad news for you:

The bad news: In the world of retail fashion there are some misconceptions about the relation of size and length. When our "modern" sizing system was developed (I use modern very loosely, itโ€™s over 65 years old) it was standard practice to change the proportions of clothing evenly over the entire garment. Hence, when a pair of pants got smaller around, it also got shorter. Although most manufacturers have realized that thinner people arenโ€™t always shorter and larger people donโ€™t always have long legs, they have been slow to change from their established practices.

One more factor thatโ€™s working against you is that the average woman in the U.S. is only 5โ€4โ€ tall. This is a compelling argument for retailers to offer shorter jeans more often than jeans for longer legs, leaving you out in the cold again.

The good news: You are built like a fashion model (hopefully a healthy one)! Enjoy being thin with super long legs! Many of the top designer jean brands are built just for you. Both Chip and Pepper and Rock & Republic offer jeans in inseam lengths up to 37".

If your budget isnโ€™t as extensive as your legs; try a.n.a. jeans at JC Penney, they come as long as 36 ยฝ", or Wrangler jeans, you can get a 38" inseam from them.

Go to the zafufit finder to first find jeans that will fit your shape then filter for long lengths. Youโ€™ll be surprised at how many options there really are for you once you know where to look.
