Jeans in length sizes for women with long legs
These jeans are designed for women with long to very long legs whose knee position is lower, crotch height is adjusted, and who need extra inches for a good fit.
The collection consists of various jeans styles, such as straight, skinny, bootcut, flared, and wide-leg jeans. The available length sizes, sizes, colours, and fits vary by brand and product.
What is meant by extra long jeans?
By extra long jeans, we mean jeans with a longer inseam than regular women's jeans. Standard jeans are often available in length sizes 30, 32, or 34. Extra long jeans are available in, among others:
- length size 36: approximately 91 cm inseam;
- length size 38: approximately 96.5 cm inseam.
The exact length may vary slightly per brand, model, and dress size. Therefore, always check the product information for the actual inseam and fit.
Difference between length size 34, 36 and 38
The difference between the length sizes lies in the length of the pant leg.
As a general guideline:
- L34 is approximately 86 cm;
- L36 is approximately 91 cm;
- L38 is approximately 96.5 cm.
There is approximately a 5 cm difference between each length size. The size you need depends not only on your height, but especially on your inseam, the jeans fit, and the shoes you wear with the jeans.

How do you measure the inseam?
You can most easily measure your inseam using jeans that already fit well.
1. Lay the jeans flat.
2. Measure from the crotch along the inside of the pant leg.
3. Measure to the bottom of the hem.
4. Compare this length with the product data.
Do you prefer to measure on the body? Then measure from the crotch to the point where you want the jeans to end. Take into account the shoes you want to wear with the jeans.
Which jeans models require extra length?
For some fits, the correct length is extra important.
Flared jeans
Flared jeans widen from the knee. The jeans usually need to be longer so that the flared leg falls nicely over shoes or boots.
Bootcut jeans
Bootcut jeans subtly flare out from the knee. This fit is often worn a little longer, especially in combination with boots.
Wide-leg jeans
Wide-leg jeans have a wide leg and usually fall generously to the shoe. For long legs, length 36 or 38 may be necessary to maintain the correct proportion.
Straight jeans
Straight jeans have a straight leg and can be worn both long and slightly shorter. The desired length depends on your shoes and personal preference.
Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans fit snugly around the entire leg. This means this style can sometimes be worn a little shorter than flared or wide-leg jeans.

Within the collection, you will find various models for tall women. For example:
✔️ straight jeans;

Extra long jeans or tall jeans?
The terms extra long jeans and tall jeans are often used interchangeably. However, there is a small difference.
Extra long jeans mainly refer to the length of the pant legs. Jeans designed entirely as tall can also have adjusted proportions, such as:
- a lower knee position;
- an adjusted waist height;
- a longer crotch depth;
- a different ratio between waist and hips;
- adjusted pocket positions.
Not every brand adjusts all components in the same way. Therefore, check the product for the length size and fit information provided.
Which extra long jeans suit my figure?
Do you have long legs and a relatively narrow waist? Then choose jeans with a well-fitting waistband or sufficient stretch.
Do you want more room around the hips and thighs? Then a straight, relaxed, baggy, or wide-leg style can be comfortable.
Also pay attention to the waist height:
- high waist sits high at the waist;
- mid waist sits around the natural waist;
- low waist is worn lower on the hip.
The best choice depends on your body proportions and personal preference.
