All Creatures Great and Small: Pants for the Leggy and Not-So-Leggy

30 Sep

If there is one thing other than your bra size you should know, it’s your inseam length. The length of your leg from the top of your inner thigh to the ground. Mine, for example, is 33 ½ inches, my sisters measure in at 5’1” tall with a 32” inseam, 5’3” tall with a 27” inseam, and my brother at 6‘2” tall with a 32“ inseam. WOAH! What a range!

What I’m getting at is we all have different inseam lengths. Just in case you haven’t noticed most pants come in one standard length, usually 32” which involves hemming for a lot of people and the inability to wear those pants for the rest of us.

Here are some options for pants in different inseam lengths, but if your favorite brand doesn’t do lengths just pop over to the dry cleaner and ask them to hem them. It will only cost you $5-$10. Some stores will alter for free, depending on the alteration, but make sure you know your inseam length so if the associate measures incorrectly, you know and don’t get a wonky pair of pants back!

Hey there workout dudes!

I know it can be really hard for you to find pants if you don’t have average length legs. Sadly, men’s pants don’t come shorter than a 32” inseam in the activewear world. You need to find a tailor and become buddy-buddy with them…sorry! Don’t be that guy with the too long pants that have ripped at the bottom!
