Extra Long Women's Trousers in Length 38
Women's trousers in length 38 are designed for women who need extra long leg length. Length 38 corresponds to an inseam of approximately 38 inches, or about 96.5 cm.
These extra long trousers are suitable when standard lengths such as L30, L32 and L34 are too short, and even length 36 doesn't provide enough length. Within the collection, you'll find various styles, including tailored trousers, wide-leg trousers, flared trousers, and comfortable casual trousers.
The exact inseam length may vary slightly by brand, model, and size. Therefore, always check the product information before ordering a pair of trousers.
Who is length 38 suitable for?
Length 38 is especially suitable for women with very long legs or a long inseam. Your total body height only provides an indication.
Two women of the same height can have different body proportions. One woman might have relatively long legs, while the other has more length in her upper body.
Therefore, don't choose solely based on your body height, but measure your inseam.
Trousers in L38 might be suitable when:
✔️ length 36 is still too short for you;
✔️ you need an inseam of about 96 cm;
✔️ you want to wear flared or wide-leg trousers long;
✔️ you combine the trousers with heels or shoes with a higher sole;
✔️ you prefer to keep some extra hem allowance.
How to measure your inseam?
The easiest way to measure your inseam is with a pair of trousers that already fit well.
1. Lay the trousers flat on a table.
2. Make sure the trouser legs are straight.
3. Measure from the crotch along the inside of the trouser leg.
4. Measure to the bottom of the hem.
5. Compare the result with the measurements provided with the product.
Length 38 is approximately 96.5 cm. The actual wearing length also depends on the fit, the fabric, and the shoes you wear with the trousers.
Difference between length 36 and length 38
Length 36 has an inseam of approximately 91 cm. Length 38 is approximately 96.5 cm.
The difference is therefore about 5 cm.
Choose L36 when an inseam of about 91 cm fits well. Choose L38 when you need extra length or when you deliberately want to wear trousers longer.
For close-fitting trousers, a slightly shorter length might be sufficient. For flared, bootcut, or wide-leg trousers, more length is often needed for the trousers to fall nicely over the shoes.

Tailored trousers in length 38
Extra long tailored trousers should not only have sufficient leg length. The waist height, crotch depth, and knee position also determine how the style falls.
For a business outfit, you can combine straight-leg or wide-leg tailored trousers with a blouse and blazer. A dark style in black, dark blue, or anthracite is easy to wear to the office or a formal occasion.

Wide-leg trousers in length 38
Wide-leg trousers have a generous leg width and are usually worn long. For women with long legs, L38 might be necessary to prevent the style from ending too short above the shoe.
When choosing wide-leg trousers, pay attention to:
- the total trouser length;
- the waist height;
- the width of the trouser leg;
- the material and drape;
- the shoes you want to wear with the trousers.
Flared trousers in length 38
Flared trousers are fitted around the hips and thighs and flare out from the knee. For this fit, both the knee position and the hem length are important.
Flared trousers should usually fall almost to the floor, without the hem dragging on the ground. If you wear heels or boots, length 38 might be particularly suitable.
What is the difference between tall trousers and extra long trousers?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but they don't always mean exactly the same thing.
Extra long trousers always have longer trouser legs. Trousers specifically designed as a tall model can also have adjusted proportions, such as:
✔️ a lower knee position;
✔️ a longer crotch depth;
✔️ an adjusted waist height;
✔️ a different placement of pockets;
✔️ more length between hip, knee, and hem.
Not every brand adapts trousers in the same way. Therefore, check the product details for which characteristics actually apply.
