J. Crew has 36″ inseams!

I have to send a big thank you out to reader Corrinne of Search by Inseam who told me that J. Crew now has 36″ inseams! I have been frustrated in the past, because their size chart doesn’t show inseam lengths. It just says that their tall sizes are recommended for women 5′9″ - 6′0″. That seemed too vague for me. I assumed that meant 33-34″ inseams, so I have been hesitant to order.

But I played around a bit and found that when looking at individual product pages, the inseam is in the description on the right. You often have to click “More” to get the whole description, and the inseam should be at the bottom. I love finding new options for extra long inseams!

Check out all of their tall options here.

An Australian option

For those in Australia, or anyone who will shop internationally, check this out. A reader emailed me that an Australian-based company named Tall Girls specializes in pants with 36″ inseams on up. The jeans shown here are 38″ in long! Just be sure to check the currency and size conversion before ordering. They recommend taking measurements to be sure of your size.

This company is a bit pricey (at least for my bargain-shopping blood). But if you have a 38-39″ inseam your options are limited. Better to splurge and get a couple pairs of pants you feel good in, than to get a bunch that are too short and always feel self-conscious, right?

And just FYI, for those of you with tall husbands or boyfriends they also have mens pants with 38-40″ inseams.

Can you pull these off?

I’m not sure if I can pull these off the way this model does. But at this price maybe it’s worth a shot! These bootcut stretch twill pants come in inseams up to 36″. They are low cut and have a waistband that’s wider in back. Available in several different colors.

35″ Inch Long Chino Trousers

I’m so happy to see more companies offering 35-36″ inseam pants! J Crew brings us this pair- They are “city fit” (low rise), fitted through the hip & thigh, with a cuffed trouser leg. Regularly they are $68, but they are on sale now.

Inseams up to 36″

Again, I am the last on earth to hear something fantastic. I recently discovered that Victoria’s Secret has pants with inseams in both 34″ and 36″. Better yet, they are very affordable! Ok, confession time. I actually never knew they even sold clothing beyond undies and the ‘fun stuff’ (if that can be called clothing). I’m excited to give some of their 36″ inseam pants a shot after my baby bump deflates next fall/winter.

Let’s try this again.

Something fishy happened last week, and I was cut off mid-post. So let’s try this again. Ann Taylor Loft has many pants and jeans with inseams up to 35″. The upside? They have a decent selection, and many are reasonably priced. The downside? Their alternate views don’t include pictures of the back. It’s tough to buy pants without seeing what the butt looks like. But because they are reasonably priced, it may be worth paying shipping to find out. They also have tall sized jackets.

Cotton stretch pants

So Lands’ End often has higher rises than I like (pitfalls of being long legged but short waisted), but these flat front cotton stretch pants look like a comfortable around-the-house sweatpants replacement. Though I wouldn’t recommend you tuck your tops in, that rise looks like the waistband might overlap your bra band!
