Or moderately: Hello, I’m tall-ish. 

I really feel as if I must make a fast disclaimer right here: Measuring a little bit over 5’9”, I’m the tallest at TME however hail from a household that, satirically, has me measuring as common. So, I absolutely perceive that “tall” is a bit relative.

Regardless, full-length denims really feel arduous to seek out for my legs, not simply because I’m thought of taller than common, however particularly as a result of truth cropped denims has been a scorching development lately. 

Whereas cropped denims have actually had their place in my wardrobe, my curiosity in them has slowly been rising slim — largely as a result of I can’t assist however really feel like my peak turns into all chopped up visually when sporting pants that aren’t cropped *excellent*.

It’s so dang arduous to nail aesthetically pleasing proportions when getting dressed with cropped denims, and albeit, I don’t need my outfits to really feel like work, ?!

Full-length denims, however, elongate the body. 

I really feel tall and exquisite and assured when rocking a protracted pair of denims. And perhaps the most effective half? Sneakers are straightforward. In my view, virtually each shoe goes with lengthy denims (particularly if the denims are actually lengthy sufficient to cowl the tops of footwear).

From Straight To Huge-Leg To Flare: I Tried 14 Full-Size Denims

I’ve been on this seek for full-length denims for a couple of months now, in search of out pants that hit at my heel moderately than my ankle. I’ve discovered a single pair right here and there to check out, and I tried one large try-on within the denim part of Nordstrom (however it was largely a flop by way of full-length choices). 

Nonetheless decided to see what else is on the market, I set off to scour the web and collect up denims that promised at the very least an inseam of 31 inches, from manufacturers like MOTHER, Body, Hole, Abercrombie & Fitch, and extra. I relinquished any restraints of favor, so I may concentrate on size, however I did my finest to seek out the least-distressed variations to maintain the denims extra versatile of their wearability.

Whereas 32 to 33 inches is often what I want for denims to succeed in my heel, the model of the pants (and a person’s physique form, for that matter) does straight have an effect on how denims match and the place that backside hem lands. So, I gave a little bit wiggle room in my search, scooping up denims having anyplace from a 31-inch to a whopping 35-inch inseam. 

The decision? 

I used to be left feeling moderately hopeful after this try-on, realizing I managed to assemble a catalog together with every part from dishevelled to slim to flare, from extra-high-rise right down to mid-rise, and with costs starting from $30 to high-end.

Whereas not each pair is a house run, there’s a couple of that made me excited. Let’s get began!

1. Reformation Cynthia Excessive-Rise Straight Lengthy Denims

Dimension: 28
Inseam: 33”

I scooped up this primary pair of full-length denims a couple of months again, and so they’re nonetheless my favourite — even after numerous try-ons. 

Reformation

Reformation’s Cynthia straight-leg denims should not solely sustainably made, however additionally they have the form of inflexible denim whereas nonetheless feeling relaxed — because of its make-up of 57% Regeneratively Grown Cotton and 43% TENCEL Lyocell. The inseam is lengthy sufficient for heels, however I like the way in which the pant legs sit on prime of sneakers. They even look good cuffed. 

All through a ton of standard put on, the waistband has stayed true to dimension, whereas the material relaxes and constantly feels higher.

Should you’re not as tall as me, Reformation additionally makes the Cynthia Straight Leg in a 29″ inseam (which may also be discovered at Nordstrom).

2. MOTHER The Hustler Curler Heel Huge-Leg Denims

Dimension: 28
Inseam: 35″

One other pair that I’ve been testing out for a short time is The Hustler Curler Heel wide-leg denims by MOTHER. I even have an older wash that I scooped up on sale, however the newest washes to have been stocked are so good.

MOTHER | Nordstrom | Anthropologie | Revolve

These full-length, wide-leg denims have one of many longest inseams of this roundup, good for people even a couple of inches taller than me. The denims are stretchy and barely heavy feeling, with a leg that could be very broad with out feeling too dishevelled.

I’ve a love-hate relationship with MOTHER as a result of its sizing could be very inconsistent (perhaps greater than every other model). I’ve wanted anyplace from a 27 to a 30 in these denims, and whereas my true dimension works right here, they really feel too free over time, and I’m discovering that I must dimension down.

3. Mom Excessive-Waisted Weekender Heel

Dimension: 28
Inseam: 33.5”

First issues first, the Mom Weekender Heel denims in Belle De Jour run small. I undoubtedly must go up a dimension.

MOTHER | Nordstrom | Bloomingdales | Neiman Marcus

Flare denims should not my favourite, however if you happen to just like the model, these are good. The denims hit at my excellent size for all shoe pairings and are good and stretchy.

The most effective half? THAT BOOTY. I don’t actually have a bum, however these make you imagine in any other case and hugged me in allll the suitable locations.

4. MOTHER Rider Skimp Straight-Leg Denims

Dimension: 28
Inseam: 31”

The MOTHER Rider Skimp straight-leg denims are one of many higher surprises on this try-on for me.

MOTHER | Nordstrom | Revolve | Bloomingdales

I may’ve sworn I’d tried this model previously and it wasn’t as lengthy — however however, a 31-inch inseam in these MOTHER denims hits proper between the ankle and heel on me. Whereas not absolutely reaching my heel, I give these pants a thumbs-up as a result of they appear and feel actually good.

These straight-leg denims match me true to dimension. There are a number of washes to select from on MOTHER’s web site, and I’m very tempted to do that model within the wash of the earlier pair I attempted on, Belle De Jour!

5. Body Excessive-Waist Additional-Lengthy Barrel Denims

Dimension: 28
Inseam: 35”

Should you’re taller than me, the Additional-Lengthy Barrel Denims from Body are for you.

Body | Nordstrom

In truth, Body has turn out to be a model I’ve actually come to respect; it frequently seems distinctive, lovely pairs of denims for lengthy legs. I are inclined to run in between sizes 27 and 28 with Body denim, however the Additional-Lengthy Barrel Denims are additionally extra-high (12.5-inch rise, reaches proper as much as my rib cage), so a 28 does work nice.

This barrel model hangs dishevelled and free within the legs, which is moderately comfy and youthful feeling.

6. Body Excessive-Rise Utility Straight-Leg Denims

Dimension: 28
Inseam: 34”

I like this pair. I scooped up Body’s Utility Straight-Leg Denims in wash Primetime a couple of months in the past and have worn them on the common.

Body | Nordstrom | Saks

I caught with my true dimension, which is ideal after a wash (and dry), however the waist of those Body Utilitiy (aka cargo!) denims does bag out with put on, so sizing down could possibly be an choice relying on the way you prefer to put on + care in your denim.

Cargo denims had been initially labeled a microtrend early final yr, however Vogue just lately acknowledged in an article that it believes the model is now right here to remain for awhile. “In” or “out,” I’m a big fan.

7. Abercrombie & Fitch Excessive-Rise Free Denims

Dimension: 27L
Inseam: 32.5”

Abercrombie & Fitch is a superb denim choice for anybody who doesn’t need high-end costs however nonetheless has excessive expectations.

Its jean costs sometimes hovers round $100, however with frequent promotions you possibly can normally rating a pair for below $100. And the standard of Abercrombie denims are truthfully rather a lot higher than most others below $100 choices (which actually turns into obvious when doing big try-ons equivalent to this).

Common | Curve Love

The Excessive-Rise Free Denims have a reasonably dang good size, a fitted waist, and a free leg from prime to backside. Whereas Abercrombie has a Curve Love choice, as somebody with none curves, I really feel like there may be built-in room on this pair that may flatter a curvy physique form (particularly within the thigh space — it’s very roomy).

I ordered a 27 after studying critiques of how “free” these are, assuming they meant the waist, however after a second go by way of, I imagine they’re simply speaking concerning the denims total (which, hi there, free is definitely within the identify). A 27 labored, however I might in all probability want a 28.

8. Abercrombie & Fitch Excessive-Rise ’90s Relaxed Denims

Dimension: 28L
Inseam: 33”

Ohh, child, I like the 90s Relaxed Denims by Abercrombie & Fitch. You’ll be able to seize Abercrombie denims in a number of inseam choices (a HUGE plus contemplating only a few manufacturers do that), and the lengthy inseam is an ideal full size.

Common | Curve Love

The waist on these ’90s denims is perhaps a bit tighter than I would really like, so if you happen to’re in between sizes, I might advocate making an attempt a dimension up.

A giant win of this pair? You get a free leg whereas nonetheless having a flattering booty.

9. Good American Good Traditional Slim Denims

Dimension: 8
Inseam: 33”

After studying critiques on the Good American Good Traditional Slim Denims, I sized as much as an 8, and so they match nice.

Good American | Nordstrom

These Good American denims are very harking back to skinny denims (a lot tighter in actual life than on the mannequin’s legs), and I can’t assist however assume they might look freaking superb with cowgirl or wide-calf boots pulled up over them.

The booty these denims give is a surprising profit. I really feel as if my bottom has been Photoshopped — it’s just like the denim has some type of magical plumping have an effect on?!

10. Good American Good Icon Straight-Leg Denims

Dimension: 6
Inseam: 32”

The Good Icon denims by Good American match effectively within the waist however pull within the hips/thigh space, and didn’t give me the identical look because the mannequin (simply as I skilled with the earlier pair).

Good American | Nordstrom

I really feel as if the fashions is likely to be sizing up a tad, or maybe my physique form simply isn’t excellent for these denims. To attain that looser boyfriend look that the mannequin has, I must dimension up one or two.

I assumed these had been OK however nothing to jot down dwelling about.

11. Hole Mid-Rise ’90s Free Denims

Dimension: 28L
Inseam: 31.5”

Calling all mid-rise lovers, Hole is making so many nice mid-rise denims proper now!

Hole

I’m not personally very keen on mid-rise pants, however I do take pleasure in Hole’s ’90s Free Denims. Since they sit decrease on me and I’ve no hips, I discover these are a bit large and that I ought to’ve sized down (I feel that may give me much less of a “skater woman” look too).

Hole has a common inseam dimension information that lists lengthy inseams at 33.5 inches, however over the previous few years of shopping for from Hole, I’ve realized that its dimension information just isn’t correct, and each lengthy inseam is completely different relying on the denims. (Just a few new listings on Hole’s web site have particular person inseams listed, however most of them don’t.) The ’90s Free Denims are shorter than the scale information listed but remains to be nearly good on me, lengthwise.

12. Hole Excessive-Rise Cheeky Straight Denims

Dimension: 28T
Inseam: 32”

I cheated a bit right here, because the Excessive-Rise Cheeky Straight Denims by Hole are technically ankle-length denims.

Hole

I went up an additional dimension in inseam from my common (from a protracted to a tall), and these turned a terrific full-length choice. In truth, this pair feels rather a lot like a dupe for the Reformation Cynthia denims when doing so.

My true dimension is ideal, and whereas this wash is a little more inflexible than others, the Cheeky Straight denims do break in with put on (I’ve had them for a few month).

13. H&M ’90s Straight Excessive Denims

Dimension: 8
Inseam: 31”

Whereas I do usually advocate H&M to these searching for denims below $50, after doing a try-on of this magnitude, it’s very obvious how completely different the qualities are from this pair to the higher-end ones.

H&M

The match of H&M’s straight-leg denims is sweet, however not as nice as others (I’m guessing as a result of thinner high quality of fabric used).

Whereas there weren’t any inseams really listed on H&M’s web site, I went off of all of the critiques exclaiming how lengthy they had been. My very own measurements have them coming in at 31 inches. The washes look a bit completely different in individual too.

14. H&M Huge Extremely-Excessive Denims

Dimension: 8
Inseam: 31”

The Huge Extremely-Excessive Denims from H&M are a bit too quick on me, however I want this model over the earlier H&M pair.

H&M

I might genuinely actually like these denims if it weren’t for them being too quick. Relying in your particular peak, the denims have a uncooked hem for chopping. The pants don’t do something majorly particular for my bottom, however they’re smooth and straightforward to put on.

Whereas these ultra-high denims from H&M nonetheless aren’t in the identical ballgame as the opposite manufacturers, for $30 they’re a terrific wide-leg choice for anybody a bit shorter than me!

Sweatshirt – sporting a big.
Sneakers – TTS, and price signing up for restock notifications/checking again frequently… They sneakily restock very often, however sizes at all times go fast!
