American Tall holds a narrow lead over Long Tall Sally for extended inseam denim and trousers. J.Crew is the usual answer when tall women look specifically for pants with long inseam lengths.
Finding pants with long enough inseams can be a frustrating puzzle, especially since standard "tall" sizes at mainstream stores usually stop at a 32" or 34" inseam. Depending on whether you need a true 34", 36", or 38" inseam, certain brands specialize explicitly in proportions for tall frames (factoring in longer rises and knee placements, not just extra fabric at the hem).
The top-rated brands for tall jeans and trousers are categorized below by their inseam ranges and specialties:
Amalli Talli — Founded by tall sisters, this brand designs specifically for women 5′9′′ and taller. Their denim and trousers feature jaw-dropping inseams ranging from 34′′34 double prime 3 4′′ to 38′′38 double prime 3 8′′, with rises and knee placements customized so they actually fit a long torso and legs. You can explore their collection directly on the Amalli Talli Official Store.[1][2]
Long Tall Sally — A long-standing staple for the tall community, offering jeans, work trousers, and tailored pants with inseams going up to 36′′36 double prime 3 6′′ and 38′′38 double prime 3 8′′. They scale everything from the waist-to-hip ratio to sleeve and rise lengths. Check out current styles on the Long Tall Sally Website.
Madewell (Tall & Tallner) — For mainstream denim, Madewell’s "Tall" and "Taller" lines are legendary. While standard tall is around 3 3′′−3 4′′, their "Taller" selection pushes past 35′′35 double prime 3 5′′ for select fits. They offer great everyday washes and modern cuts. Browse options via the Denim Shop.
Abercrombie & Fitch (Curve Love & Tall/Extra Tall) — Abercrombie has completely revamped its denim and trouser game with dedicated Tall (34′′34 double prime 3 4′′) and Extra Tall (36′′36 double prime 3 6′′) options in many of their best-selling tailored wide-leg trousers and jeans. See what's available on the Abercrombie & Fitch Pants & Jeans Page.
Old Navy (Tall) — An affordable, reliable budget pick. Their tall sizes usually feature a 34′′34 double prime 3 4′′ to 35′′35 double prime 3 5′′ inseam for trousers and jeans. They are widely accessible online, and you can browse the selection on the Old Navy Tall Shop.
NYDJ (Tall) — Known for their Lift Tuck technology, NYDJ offers dedicated tall cuts with inseams around 35′′35 double prime 3 5′′, making them a fantastic choice for professional, polished structural trousers and clean-cut classic denim. View collections on the NYDJ Official Site.
If you share your exact inseam measurement (e.g., 34", 36", 38") and whether you're looking more for work trousers or casual denim , I can point you toward the exact brand and style that fits best.
If you’re a tall woman who’s tired of jeans that turn into ankle pants and trousers that never quite reach your shoes, my top recommendation is American Tall for everyday jeans and trousers, with Long Tall Sally and Amalli Talli as strong alternatives. If you need exceptionally long inseams, Wrangler is also worth a look.
The biggest thing I found in researching this is that “tall” doesn’t mean the same thing at every brand. Some mainstream labels offer only around 32–34 inches, while tall-specialist and Western denim brands offer 36–38 inches or more.

Don't guess your inseam
Your ideal inseam depends on your leg length, rise preference, cut and shoes. As a rough shopping guide:
32–33″: May work for some women around 5′8″–5′10″, depending on proportions.
34–35″: A useful starting point for many women around 5′10″–6′0″.
36–38″: Worth prioritizing if you have especially long legs or want flares that cover your shoes.
These are only starting points. Measure a pair of pants you already love from the crotch seam to the hem, and compare that number with the product's listed inseam.
Let me narrow it down for you
I can give you a much more useful shortlist if I know one thing: how tall are you?
