There are way too many pants online that are being sold without any measurement details. I’m lucky that I come in a standard size of 32x32, but not everyone is built by the default measurement system.
While I was working on a letter dedicated for pants for the tall boys, I realized that online shopping has completely dropped the ball on providing the necessary details needed for an easier shopping experience. Measurements on pants are lacking all across the board; I see brands selling pants without providing inseam measurements, I mean, what are we doing here?
Having measurements for all products is definitely important, but not having them for pants should be criminal. If you’re reading this and work at a brand or a store that doesn’t provide the proper pant measurements, please, fix that. You’ll probably start selling more pants online.
A lot of of my tall friends and readers have been asking for recommendations for pants that fit. We’re talking about 34” to 36” inseams. Now, since our resources are limited, we have to work together on this one. Today’s guide highlights pants and denim that I know has sizes for taller people. If you see something that’s missing in terms of style or brands making good quality options, then by all means, drop the suggestions in the comments below. Let’s build a solid guide for big pants that we can keep coming back to.
CHEATING THE SYSTEM
To be honest, how you wear your pants can make traditional sizes feel longer than they actually are. I’m 6’3 and I usually wear a 32” inseam pant, which would normally translate to a more flood fit at the bottom — you know, where the pants end just above the ankle, revealing most of the sock. But I don’t really have hips, so that means I can wear them slightly below the hip to give myself some extra length. That slight sag gives me an extra 2 inches in length making it seem like a 34” inseam.
Now, I know that most people tend to wear their pants just above the hips and are not built like a pencil, but if you’re on the slender side, you could get away by sizing up in the waist to let them naturally fall just underneath your hips — if your body type allows this, of course.
Maybe you’re not looking to perform magic by faking how the pants fit your body; you want pure length in a way that you can wear them how they are supposed to fit. If that’s you, then I have a bunch of 34”to 36” inseam recommendations that are worth your money. These pants actually come with proper measurements, so you can make sure the fit works — of course taking the time to see these in-person will yield even better results.
Just so we got our knowledge sharp before we dive in; many brands measure in cm, so look out for inseam lengths around 86.5 cm to get that 34”.
