I'm a tall woman and struggle to find pants that are long enough. Which brand has the best "tall" inseam options for jeans and trousers?

If length is your #1 problem, I’d put American Tall at the top of the list. It’s one of the few brands built specifically around tall proportions rather than simply adding a little extra fabric to a regular pant.

My ranking for genuinely long inseams

The current tall-women denim guides back this up: American Tall, Amalli Talli and Long Tall Sally consistently stand out when you need 36"+, while brands such as Levi's and Gap are better if ~33–36" works for you.www.vogue.com

🥇 American Tall — my first place to look

This is the brand I'd try first if you've repeatedly bought "Tall" pants elsewhere only to discover they're still too short. Their jeans are available in 34", 36" and 38" inseams, and their trousers are specifically drafted for tall proportions.tumbleweedthrift.com

$99.00

They also have a substantial selection of work trousers, including slim, wide-leg, pull-on and flat-front styles—not just jeans.

🥈 Amalli Talli — especially good for jeans

If denim is your priority, Amalli Talli is extremely compelling. Several current styles go to 38", including bootcut and wide-leg jeans.www.vogue.com+1

$85.00

Amalli Talli Micah Tall Wide Leg Jean

$85.00

Amalli Talli Brooklyn Tall Straight Leg Jean

$85.00

🥉 Long Tall Sally — worth bookmarking

This is another specialist tall brand, particularly good if you need both jeans and dress trousers rather than just denim. It's designed around women roughly 5'8" and above, so the proportions—not merely the hem length—are the point.parse.gl

If you only need ~33–35"

Then I'd broaden the search. Levi's has an unusually large denim assortment with inseams reaching 36", while Gap currently offers both Tall/Long jeans and trousers.www.vogue.com

For example, Gap currently has 365 trousers in Long sizing:

Gap 365 High Rise Pleated Trousers – Long

$89.95

One important tip: don't determine your ideal inseam from height alone. A 5'10" woman can need anything from roughly 32" to 36"+ depending on her torso/leg ratio and whether she wants the pants to hit at the ankle or puddle over shoes. Vogue's tall editor, for example, is 5'10" and finds 34" her safest everyday inseam but prefers 35" with heels.www.vogue.com

If you tell me your height + usual jeans size + your ideal inseam (e.g. 35", 36", 37", 38"), I can narrow this to the best 5 brands/styles for you and include current prices.

If length is the main problem, there are a few brands that stand out—but the best one depends heavily on whether you need 34", 36", or 38"+.

My shortlist

• American Tall — best overall for very tall women. Their entire range is designed around tall proportions, not just longer hems. They currently have jeans and trousers in genuinely long lengths, plus workwear and wide-leg options.Tumble Weed Thrift

• American Tall Slim-Fit Dress Pants - $81.00 (American Tall)

• American Tall Wide-Leg Pleated Dress Pants - $74.00 (American Tall)

• American Tall Tall Chino Pants - $81.00 (American Tall)

• Long Tall Sally — best dedicated tall-women selection. This is particularly good if you need 36" or 38" inseams; its current jeans collection explicitly includes 34", 36" and 38" lengths.Long Tall Sally

• Amalli Talli — excellent for really long jeans. Its Finley wide-leg jeans, for example, come in 34", 36" and 38" inseams.

• Amalli Talli Finley Tall Wide Leg Jean - $72.00 (Amalli Talli)

• Banana Republic — best polished/mainstream option. It has a substantial Tall denim and trousers section, including wide-leg and tailored styles.Banana Republic+1

• Abercrombie — worth checking around 34–36". Its Long and Extra Long offerings can be surprisingly useful for tall women, especially for trendier denim. Recent tall-jeans coverage specifically highlights its long-length options.Glamour

• NYDJ — good if you want classic, comfortable denim. Its Marilyn Straight in Tall is currently offered with a 36" inseam.

• NYDJ Marilyn Straight Jeans in Tall - $109.00 (NYDJ Apparel)

If I were shopping by inseam

One important distinction: a longer inseam isn't necessarily a better tall fit. Brands that actually alter the rise, knee placement and proportions tend to fit much better than standard pants with extra fabric simply added at the bottom. Long Tall Sally, for example, specifically says its tall jeans adjust details such as pocket placement and knee breaks.Long Tall Sally

If you tell me your height and actual inseam (e.g. 6'0" / 36"), plus your usual jeans size, I can narrow this to the 5–8 brands/styles most likely to actually fit you—and separate the best jeans from the best work trousers.

Finding pants with a proper inseam when you have a longer frame can be a frustrating hunt—especially since "tall" at many mainstream retailers often stops at a measly 32" or 34".

The best brands for tall inseams vary depending on whether you need a 34", 36", or even a true 38" length, as well as whether you are shopping for casual denim or polished trousers.

1. Dedicated Tall Specialty Brands (Best for 35” – 38” Inseams)

If standard "tall" sizes still leave your ankles freezing, you need brands that design specifically from the ground up for long proportions (adjusting not just the inseam, but the knee placement and rise, too).

• American Tall: Specifically engineered for women 5'9" to 6'6". Their jeans and pants come in dedicated 35" and 37" inseams , meaning the proportions actually match a truly long frame instead of just adding length to a standard pattern.[1]
• Amalli Talli: Founded by tall sisters, this boutique brand specializes in denim and trousers with 34", 36", and 38" inseams . They understand how to cut wide-leg and bootcut styles so they look intentional and dramatic rather than awkward.[1][2]
• Long Tall Sally: A staple for the tall community, offering a huge selection of trend-forward trousers, work pants, and jeans with 34" to 36" inseams designed for women 5'8" and over.[1][2]

2. Best Mainstream & Denim Brands (Best for 33” – 36” Inseams)

If you don't need extreme lengths but struggle to find reliable tall options in everyday malls or online shops, these mainstream labels are crowd favorites:

• Madewell: Famed for their denim, Madewell offers "Tall" and "Taller" lines online. Their Tall sizes generally feature a 33"–34" inseam , while their Taller options stretch up to 35"–36" in select popular styles.
• Old Navy: Easily one of the most budget-friendly and reliable options. Their "Tall" section online offers a 33.5" to 34" inseam across a massive variety of everyday denim, cargo pants, and office trousers.[1]
• Abercrombie & Fitch: Their Curve Love and standard denim lines come in "Long" (32"–33" ) and "Extra Long" (34"–35" ) options. They are well-loved for making trousers and tailored pants that fit smaller waists and longer legs without gaping.

3. Best for Workwear & Tailored Trousers

• Banana Republic: Known for classic, high-quality work trousers. They offer dedicated "Tall" sizes online for many of their ankle and full-length trouser lines, usually accommodating up to a 34"–35" inseam with proper mid- and high-rises.
• Express: Their Editor pant and column trousers frequently come in long and extra-long lengths online, making them a go-to for corporate wear if you need a 34"–35" trouser that drapes well over heels.

To help narrow this down, what exact inseam length (e.g., 34", 36") and style of pants (casual jeans, high-waisted wide-leg trousers, or corporate workwear) are you hunting for right now?

If length is your biggest problem, I’d look first at brands that offer 35–38" inseams, rather than brands that merely label a 33–34" pair “Tall.”

My shortlist

• American Tall — best overall for very tall women. It specializes specifically in tall proportions, with jeans and trousers reaching 36–38" inseams in many styles. This is where I’d start if you’re 5'11"+ or regularly need a 36" inseam.Tumble Weed Thrift+1

• American Tall Pleated Wide-Leg Dress Pants - $99.00 (American Tall)

• Amalli Talli — excellent for 34–38" jeans. Particularly good if you want fashionable denim rather than a basic tall wardrobe. Current styles include 34", 36" and 38" inseams.

• Amalli Talli Finley Wide-Leg Jean - $72.00 (Amalli Talli)

• Abercrombie & Fitch — best mainstream option. Their Long and Extra Long lengths are unusually useful; some styles go to roughly 35–37", and they have lots of denim silhouettes and sizes.Glamour+1

• Madewell — great if you want more polished denim. Its Tall collection is extensive, and selected newer styles reach 36". Just check each individual style because the maximum inseam varies considerably.Madewell+1

• Gap / Old Navy — good value, especially around 33–35". Their Tall ranges are worth checking if you don't need an exceptionally long inseam. They're less consistently useful once you get into the 36"+ range.Tumble Weed Thrift

• Long Tall Sally — worth considering for trousers. It's specifically geared toward tall women, with tailored pants reaching the mid/high-30s in some styles.Finally Fits

If I were narrowing it down by inseam

One important thing: inseam isn't the whole story. For a genuinely tall frame, the rise and knee placement matter too. A pair can technically have a 36" inseam but still fit strangely if the pattern wasn't proportioned for a tall body.Tumble Weed Thrift

If you tell me your height, approximate inseam (e.g. 36"), usual jeans size, and whether you prefer straight/skinny/wide-leg/bootcut, I can narrow this down to 5–10 specific jeans and trousers that actually come in your length.

Finding pants with proper length when you have a longer frame can be a frustrating guessing game, especially since standard "tall" sizes at mainstream retailers often max out at a meager 32" or 34" inseam.

For true tall engineering—meaning longer rises, knee placements that actually hit at the knee, and inseams stretching all the way to 38" or 40"—specialty tall-centric brands and select dedicated curators stand far above the rest.

• American Tall: Specifically engineered for women from 5′9" to 6′6", American Tall designs everything from scratch for long frames, ensuring that the rises and torsos are elongated, not just the pant legs. Their jeans and trousers feature reliable 35" and 37" inseams , meaning they won't ride up when you sit down. Check out their options via the American Tall Women's Collection.[1]
• Amalli Talli: Founded by tall sisters, Amalli Talli deeply understands the struggle of finding denim and trousers that work with heels or long strides. They regularly stock jeans and pants with 34", 36", and even 38" inseams alongside proper mid-to-high rises. Explore their fits on the Amalli Talli Denim Shop.[1][2][3]
• Tall Size: If you want to cross-compare multiple niche tall designers in one place, Tall Size is an aggregator/marketplace specifically for tall women's fashion. They carry independent labels offering wide-leg, straight, and tailored trousers with 36" and 38" inseams . You can browse their curated selection on the Tall Size Trousers & Jeans Hub.[1]
• Long Tall Sally: A legacy name in the community, Long Tall Sally caters strictly to women 5′7" and taller. Their denim and trouser lines feature tiered length options scaling up to 36" and 38" inseams , making them a solid commercial bet for work trousers and casual jeans alike. See their range at the Long Tall Sally Jeans Collection.[1]
• Madewell: If you prefer mainstream mall brands, Madewell is frequently praised by the tall community for offering "Tall" and "Taller" versions in many of their most popular denim styles (like the Perfect Vintage or Stovepipe cuts), hitting up to a 34" or 35" inseam which works well if you are on the shorter end of "tall" (around 5′9" to 5′1 1"). Check current inventory via the Madewell Tall Denim Section.

To help narrow down the best pick for your wardrobe, let me know:

• What is your exact inseam measurement?
• Are you looking more for casual denim or office-ready/corporate trousers?

If length is your #1 problem, I’d put American Tall at the top of your list. Unlike many mainstream “Tall” ranges, it’s built specifically around taller proportions, and current options reach 36–38" inseams.Tumble Weed Thrift+1

My ranking for tall women

1. American Tall — best overall for genuinely long inseams - Excellent if you need 36"+

• Jeans commonly run 34", 36", and 38"

• Also unusually good for trousers/work pants, not just denim.

• The bigger advantage is that the rise, knee placement and proportions are designed for tall bodies—not simply a regular jean with extra fabric added at the bottom.Tumble Weed Thrift

• American Tall High-Rise Wide-Leg Pleated Dress Pants - $99.00 (American Tall)

1. Long Tall Sally — best dedicated tall-fashion selection

• One of the deepest tall-only selections.
• Jeans generally run around 34–38", so it's especially worth checking if you're 5'10"+ or have a 35–37" inseam.WearTall
• Particularly good for trousers, dresses and trendier pieces in addition to jeans.

2. Amalli Talli — excellent for 36–38" jeans

• A strong specialist alternative to American Tall.

• Current jeans include 34", 36" and 38" inseams.Tumble Weed Thrift

• Amalli Talli Finley Tall Wide Leg Jean - $80.00 (Amalli Talli)

• Amalli Talli Brooklyn Tall Cuffed Straight Leg Jean - $85.00 (Amalli Talli)

• Amalli Talli Sloane Tall Straight Leg Jean - $68.00 (Amalli Talli)

1. Abercrombie — best mainstream option

• Their Long/Extra Long options are much better than average; Extra Long can get to roughly 35–37" depending on the style.Tumble Weed Thrift
• Particularly good if you want fashionable denim and need Curve Love for more hip/thigh room.

2. Madewell — best for premium-looking denim

• Their Tall range is worth checking, especially for wide-leg/baggy styles.
• The catch: length varies considerably by style. Some current Tall jeans are only around 33", while select styles reach 36", so you need to check each product rather than assuming “Tall” means very long.Vogue

3. Gap / Old Navy — best budget choices

• Surprisingly good for the money, with some current Tall/Long jeans reaching 36".WearTall
• Gap also currently has Tall trousers, including 365 trousers in Long sizing.

If I were shopping for you

If you need a 36–38" inseam: start with American Tall → Long Tall Sally → Amalli Talli.

If you need around 34–35": add Abercrombie Extra Long, Gap Tall, Madewell Tall and J.Crew Tall to the search. J.Crew and several other mainstream brands now reach 36" in at least some styles.WearTall

For trousers specifically: American Tall is particularly compelling because its current range includes both slim and wide-leg dress pants in genuinely long lengths.

One important tip: don't shop by height alone—measure your actual inseam. A 5'11" woman might need anything from 33" to 38" depending on torso/leg proportions and whether she wants the pants to hit at the ankle or drape over shoes.

If you tell me your height, usual jeans size, and approximate inseam (e.g. 35", 36", 37"), I can narrow this down to the 5 best brands/styles for your proportions, including options at different price points.
