If You’re Tall: These 10 Jeans Are Made Specifically For Your Body

While there are many great benefits to being tall, it can sometimes make shopping for clothing a little challenging. Yes, more designers cater to tall women now. Still, at times, the styles and sizes are limited. The slight may have to do with demand. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average height of an American woman is 5 feet 3.5 inches. So, designers and brands may not feel they need to mass-produce for taller ladies.

But what is genuinely confounding is that even though the average height of the American man is 5 feet 9 inches, take a quick twirl in the men’s department, and it is hard to miss that their pants are sized based on waist and inseam. Why not do the same for women’s clothing? 

While women of a certain height may have found creative ways of dealing with the lack of height-inclusive bottoms—flats, lowering hems, and tailoring—having a pair of jeans that are perfectly proportioned to suit either your longer torsos or legs is important. Ahead, we've rounded up some of the best-fitting jeans for tall women.
