Tall straight leg jeans

What is a straight-leg jeans?
A straight-leg jeans has a straight leg without significant tapering or flare. This creates a calm and timeless silhouette.
Characteristics of straight jeans are:
- a straight leg;
- more room than with skinny jeans;
- a narrower leg than with a wide-leg model;
- a versatile fit;
- various waist heights, such as high waist and mid waist.
The exact shape may vary per model. Some straight jeans fit more snugly around the thighs, while other models have a more relaxed fit.
Why choose straight jeans for long legs?
For long legs, it is important that the pant leg is long enough and that the shape of the jeans falls in the right place. Straight jeans do not interrupt the line of the leg with a strong tapering or flared leg.
Straight jeans are suitable for women who:
✔️ are looking for timeless jeans;
✔️ want more room than a skinny fit offers;
✔️ do not want a very wide pant leg;
✔️ want to combine jeans both casually and for business;
✔️ often find regular jeans too short.
A straight model can fit snugly or slightly looser around the hips and thighs. Therefore, check per product how the jeans fit and how much stretch the denim contains.
Straight jeans, skinny jeans or wide-leg jeans?
The different jeans fits mainly distinguish themselves by the shape of the pant leg.
Straight jeans
Straight jeans run straight down and have an even leg. This is a good middle ground between snug and loose.
Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans fit snugly around the thighs, knees, and calves. Often the fabric contains more stretch for extra freedom of movement.

What length size do I need?
The length size of jeans refers to the inseam length.
As a general indication:
- length size 36 is approximately 91 cm;
- length size 38 is approximately 96.5 cm.
The exact length may vary slightly per brand, size, and model. Therefore, measure a pair of jeans that fits you 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 the result with the product information.
Don't just look at your body height. Your leg proportion, desired hem height, and the shoes you wear also determine which length size fits best.

Denim with or without stretch
Straight jeans can be made from sturdy denim without much stretch or from denim with stretch.
Jeans with little stretch generally maintain a firmer silhouette. Stretch denim moves more easily and can be more comfortable if you want extra room or flexibility around the hips and thighs.
Check the material composition for each product. The elastane percentage indicates the amount of stretch, but the weave and thickness of the denim also influence the wearing comfort.
How to combine straight jeans
Straight jeans are easy to incorporate into different outfits.
For a casual combination, wear the jeans with a shirt, sweater, and sneakers. For a business look, you can combine dark straight jeans with a blouse and blazer. With ankle boots, heels, or a neat top, you can make the outfit dressier.
When choosing shoes, also pay attention to the length of the pants. Straight jeans can fall on the shoe, form a small crease, or be worn slightly shorter.
