I have long limbs and a short torso, which gets hilarious at times. I struggle to find pants for work, because they have to come down over my work boots. Most talls have that extra length in the rise, which makes them the fashion equivalent of a strapless jumpsuit on me. I buy pants that look like they're full length pants, and when the brown truck delivers them, they're ankle length on me. It's frustrating.<br /> I was at Costco the other day with a friend, and there were some faux suede pants that looked long enough, so I grabbed a pair. I probably need to release the hems to get PPL for work, but otherwise they're so close to perfect that I asked my friend to grab another pair if he was back in Costco anytime soon. They're very similar to a pair I ordered from h&amp;m that looked full length on the model but turned out to be short on me when they arrived. I now have three pairs of pants that fit dress code requirements at work (and I actually like enough to wear), and that is just going to have to be enough; and if the bosses don't like the bleach spots that are destined to appear, I do not care because I'm not going through this any more for some clothes I'm only buying to keep the managers off my back at work LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979866 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 20:44:39 +0000 bj1111 1979866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hey if you're short like me, all pants are long pants.&nbsp; my question, where are all the ankle length pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979855 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:55:09 +0000 Carla 1979855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pulled the trigger and the JCrew jeans are on the way in long (35 inch inseam).

I hate ankle/cropped pants on me. I prefer a 32-inch inseam. Sometimes, "longs" in the ankle version hit 32. For jeans, I always buy longs and have them hemmed. I have the best luck at Talbots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979794 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:30:51 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1979794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yeah, if long enough for you is 34" or 36", you'll definitely have to order online. Loft and Ann Taylor both have talls online, as do BR/ON/Gap. Those and Eddie Bauer are where I get most of my pants/jeans. Oh, and try Duluth Trading too, although they're in full-on winter gear mode right now. Boden has longs but their longs are most brands' regular length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979791 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:19:53 +0000 Anonymous 1979791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im with you on wanting full length pants, and considering letting the hems out of some of mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979753 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 13:15:50 +0000 Janet 1979753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, you are singing my tune. I believe we must have similar inseams, as we are the same height. Right now I'm wearing a pair of Bettona pants from Athleta in a blissfully long "tall" size -- they're sort of yoga pants but good for working from home and running errands. Athleta has some good tall options (I have three pairs of their pants in full lengths, all talls).</p> <p>I have seen some full-length options in the Pilcro line at Anthro (I feel like I'm always plugging them, but they're so good for my needs!). Lucky Brand is good for offering some longer inseams in their tall lengths as well. I wouldn't pay too much attention to measurements of 34" or 32" or whatever as listed, because my husband and I both have issues with finding pants long enough, and some 34's are cut like 36's, some are more like 32's. I believe they just need to be tried on. Good luck! And YES, please, to more designers making full-length pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979741 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:56:40 +0000 LaPed 1979741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hem allowance on those J Crew jeans looks pretty generous, if you don't mind losing the cool wide cuff...</p> <p>I'm pretty sure Land's End does women's jeans with 36" inseams. Is Long Tall Sally available in Canada? They seem to be a go-to for tall women.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979739 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:46:59 +0000 kkards 1979739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Alexandra beat me to it,&nbsp;i was going to suggest LLBean and Lands End,<br />hmmm...or maybe not on LLBean if you need a 36. as they define Tall as 34... <ul> <li>Inseam 30". Petite 28", Medium Tall 32", Tall 34", Women's 30".</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979737 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:26:34 +0000 Bijou 1979737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Staysfit. Longer lengths are available in designer items which means that they are likely to filter through to mainstream retail next season. Have you tried Zara or other retailers that refresh their stock every few months? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979732 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:02:39 +0000 Staysfit 1979732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, J Crew longs is the way to go. Otherwise you will need to buy something very expensive, and designer, like Simon Miller, if there is a style you like. Designers tend to have longer lengths that can be hemmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979706 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 05:13:18 +0000 shiny 1979706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing here!!</p> <p>I mostly skipped the cropped/ankle trend because even the petite cropped lengths were too long on me, and I didn't have patience or time to hem, plus my eye just never really adjusted. I felt short and stumpy in the crops, and the ankle lengths were basically full length on me. I don't even think my legs are all that short proportionately....but I'm only 5'.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have some recently purchased so-called ankle length PETITE skinny jeans, that are scrunch length on me!! And some front slit straight leg trousers that are supposed to be ankle length but are definitely full length.</p> <p>And I'm okay with this..... I miss scrunch. When I contemplate hemming and turn up the hem, it just makes me feel like my legs look stumpy.</p> <p>Of course a big difference in past couple of years is that I rarely wear heels anymore.&nbsp;</p> <p>Don't get me wrong I like the cropped/ankle length on others, quite a bit. I am just top heavy I guess, inverted triangle. So it just looks off to me. I look better with full length pants and yes I will have the patience to hem when those are back in stores in full force.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979703 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 04:29:27 +0000 Carla 1979703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth P - I'm thinking a 36. 34 always seems a tad too short for PPL, even with sneakers, and 32 is flood. At 5 ft 7 in I'm not a true tall, but my inseam requirement is longer than what is in store. I'll probably order the JCrew jeans. They are a nice denim and come in dark and black and at least I know my size after the try-on. </p> <p>What colour did you get? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979696 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 04:04:30 +0000 Taffy 1979696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree wholeheartedly. And needing tall sizes and a lower rise bc I’m short waisted makes it even worse. Gap and BR have always been my go to’s but they don’t have much to offer right now, and the ones they do have just don’t work for me. I Just ordered some jeans from Lands end, and the fit was great, but the front rise is 12-13” which is a no go for me. I did see late last night that American Eagle has some bootcuts and flares available online which come in 34” and 36” lengths with a 9-10” front rise. They’ll be my next ones to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979694 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 04:01:47 +0000 SarahD8 1979694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, you just have to hang in there until I'm Benevolent Dictator of the world, and then all women's pants will be sold with length measurements rather than descriptors, rise measurements too -- and then we can all choose from the various permutations to achieve the fits we want for our beautiful individual bodies rather than sorting through all this cropped/ankle/high rise/low rise folderol.</p> <p>(I will also be nominating Angie for Secretary of Perfect Pants Length, which is roughly equivalent to Secretary of State in my regime.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979693 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:59:41 +0000 Alexandra 1979693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lands’ End and L.L.Bean have plenty of choices in full-length pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979691 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:58:22 +0000 Angie 1979691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of it is cropped, but there is more full length available online. Try Shopbop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979689 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:54:39 +0000 Christina F. 1979689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These jeans are full length on me! I also think amazon has the same brand, but under the name of Democracy rather than Wit and Wisdom. My dark pair is actually from amazon, though I kept the W&amp;W find. They have other styles too, though I love the boot cuts. I think NYDJ also has full length styles.</p> <p>ETA - too short for you, I fear. But for others this may be a good full length, as it is on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979688 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:51:39 +0000 Anonymous 1979688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Lucky jeans?

Beautifully fitting “ dressy” jeans , if you will . And not expensive . Really impressed with them - you might like them . I’m on my phone so no find . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979672 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:48:18 +0000 Elizabeth P 1979672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Inseam do you need, Carla? I am generally not looking for casual pants, but can keep an eye open as I browse. </p> <p>I recently got the jeans you posted above, and love them. Perfect for me, with sneakers or my new red shooties (with minimal heel). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979671 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:45:42 +0000 Bonnie 1979671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these Jen7 slim straight jeans that are also available at Amazon. The inseam length is 31" so I had them hemmed because I'm only 5'5". I wear them full length not cropped. Most of my pants are cropped and I wanted something different this time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979669 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:25:28 +0000 KMM 1979669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My problem in life has largely been the opposite- I can recall a time not too long past when it seemed that all jeans came in a 32” inseam by default! I have a 28” inseam, so a lot of the “cropped” styles are full length on me. That said, most of what I see in the stores and online are meant to be ankle length or cropped so I can imagine the frustration for someone with longer legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979667 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:20:03 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1979667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still see most people in my 'hick town' wearing full length pants, but you're right that they're thin on the ground at retail right now. I think it's ridiculous. I'm tall, so I guess I'm used to ordering online to get pants that are long enough. </p> <p>I'd check Talbots, Eddie Bauer, Old Navy, and Gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-make-long-pants-anymore-rant#post-1979664 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:10:55 +0000 em 1979664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I won't wear crops or ankles and I am astounded at the "workwear" that seems to think this is OK.</p> <p>I love my full length cords from Talbots. </p>
