Going jean shopping as a woman is a notorious struggle. It’s so difficult that there’s been an entire book and movie series about a magical pair of jeans that fits four friends with very different body types. As a tall woman, jean shopping gets even harder.
Many big box and mall retailers don’t stock inseams over 34”, and anything taller can be difficult to find. If you’re looking for women’s tall skinny jeans or something similar, you’ll either have to go to a specialty retailer or shop online. Many women resort to expensive tailoring to get the right fit.
Fortunately, the team at joyouslyvibrantlife has heard your frustration, and we’re here to help. After taking the time to perfect tall clothing for guys, we’ve expanded our expertise into creating tall women’s clothing in 2023 that blends fashion, function and that oh-so-perfect fit. Today, we’ll talk about how to find the best tall jean inseam length for women 5’9”+, and how you can pick the best women’s tall jeans to flatter your frame. We offer the most flattering and comfortable women's jeans that boast a truly tall inseam for 5’9” women or taller, and even women above 6'5"!5"!
FIRST THING'S FIRST - WHAT IS AN INSEAM?
The inseam indicates the length of the leg starting from the bottom of the zipper at the crotch down to the leg opening. When you’re shopping for the perfect-fitting pair of pants, including jeans, knowing the inseam length is key. Why? Because this is the number that you will use to accurately gauge the right length of the jeans relative to your height. Remember: the style of jeans will also affect the inseam length since, for example, cropped jeans are meant to fit shorter at the leg than a bootcut.
SIZING CHART: THE RIGHT INSEAM FOR WOMEN 5'9"+
| Your Height (ft. in.) | Recommended Length | Equivalent Inseam Jeans & Chinos |
|---|---|---|
| 5'9" to 6'1" | Tall | Up to 36" |
| 6'2" to 6'6" | Extra tall | 36" and longer |
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF JEANS FIT?
The first question that many women have when shopping is “how do you know if jeans fit?” There are a few key indicators to watch out for that go beyond just the inseam length according to a woman’s height. If a pair of jeans fits you correctly, it will feel comfortable around the waist, with no pinching or looseness. It should also hang correctly at your crotch, so watch out for bunching or bagginess that indicates that there’s either excess fabric, or not enough.

If the jeans fit well in the waist and hips, check out your ankles. Some styles (like flared or wide-legged jeans) are designed to have excess fabric at the ankle, but your jeans shouldn’t bunch or reveal too much skin above your ankle bone unless they’re marketed as “cropped.”
WHAT'S THE BEST JEAN INSEAM FOR WOMEN 5'9" & TALLER?
Typically, most traditional retailers stock jeans up to a 34” inseam. That leaves most women over 5’7” searching for other options. Tall women’s jeans typically begin at a 34” inseam, and go up to 38”, meaning for women 5’9” and taller, the ideal inseam starts at 34-35”. At joyouslyvibrantlife, we design our jeans specifically for women between 5’9” and 6’6” and offer inseam lengths starting at 35” up to 37”.
HOW DO I FIND MY PERFECT TALL JEANS SIZE?
Unlike most other pairs of pants, shopping for jeans requires you to know not only your waist size, but also your inseam. To find the perfect pair of tall jeans, make sure you’re looking at the waist size (which typically ranges from 25-36”), as well as the inseam length.
While finding a brand of jeans with a length that works for you is important, make sure you don’t forget the other aspects of fit while shopping for tall jeans. The best pair of jeans can make us feel invincible, and you should never settle for less than a perfect fit!
