Ninety-eight percent of the time, I adore being tall (just under 6’1,” to be precise). I love being able to see over most people in crowds, not feeling like I have to wear heels, being able to reach any shelf at the grocery store and not having to hem bridesmaid dresses. One of the few qualms I have about my height, however, is how hard it is to find pants that aren’t comically short on me. Luckily, I’ve been able to try many pairs over the years to narrow down the nine best jeans for tall women, from flares you can actually wear with a heel to cropped silhouettes that look intentional (which any tall woman knows can be a struggle).
How We Tested the Best Jeans for Tall Women
Good news: It’s never been easier to find jeans that fit taller frames. For the purpose of this story, I’m considering anyone over 5’8” as tall (though the CDC reports that the average woman in America is just under 5’4”.) Many brands offer longer lengths at a wide range of price points, and some retailers like Nordstrom even let you search its vast inventory by inseam length. Generally, “tall” jeans have an inseam of at least 32 inches, with a few longer pairs on this list reaching 35 inches. To compile this list, I dug through my denim collection and cherry-picked the pairs that I—as a tall woman myself—would highly recommend to my fellow tall women. I considered a variety of styles and price points, and consulted reviews to ensure other tall shoppers had similar experiences.

What to Consider When Buying Jeans for Tall Women
When shopping for jeans, tall women have to think about all the things anyone considers when shopping for jeans, just with the added consideration of inseam length.
- First think about style: Are you in the market for high-waist skinnies? Low-rise baggy jeans? How about on-trend barrel legs?
- From there think about the color and/or wash; what fits in best with your existing wardrobe?
- Finally, take into account how much you want to spend. Sure, there are jeans that'll set you back literal hundreds of dollars, but there are also more affordable styles from brands like Old Navy and Gap that look just as good and are of great quality.
