Trousers for tall women with long legs
Trousers for tall women
Long legs? Most people would probably say, "Lucky you!" And they're right. But there's one thing that doesn't always make having long legs easy, and most tall women are likely familiar with this. The challenge of finding a well-fitting pair of trousers or jeans that hug where they should and, at the same time, don’t end up too short at mid-calf. Are you constantly on the hunt for trousers or jeans that are long enough?
We understand that finding trousers for tall women that are long enough can be a big challenge—that’s exactly why we've taken matters into our own hands at LAURIE. If you're lucky enough to have long legs but struggle to find trousers that are long enough, you've come to the right place. At LAURIE, we offer no less than five different leg lengths in our collection, including trousers for tall women with extra length, designed for those born with a pair of long legs.
Before you begin the search for the perfect trousers or jeans for your long legs, the first step is knowing your measurements. To find out which leg length to choose, it's important to know your inseam measurement. You can measure your inseam from the crotch to the ankle.
Our two longest leg lengths have the following measurements:
Medium leg length: 80-82 cm inseam
Long leg length: 85-89 cm inseam
Which fit should you choose for long legs?
Once you're clear on your measurements, you can easily start finding your new LAURIE favorites in the form of trousers for tall women. Begin by deciding which silhouette you're after. Do you prefer a Slim silhouette that fits closely to the body from hip to ankle? Or are you more into Regular, which gives shape without being too tight on the legs? You might also prefer the Straight silhouette, which fits at the waist but has the same width from thigh to ankle. At LAURIE, we offer a variety of silhouettes in our collection of trousers for tall women. You can learn more about our silhouettes here.
Trousers for tall women – here’s what you can go for
Below, we’ve gathered a handful of ideas on what to look for when shopping for trousers for tall women. No matter what, you should always choose trousers that make you feel comfortable and that you like. There’s no right or wrong – we’ve simply collected some tips and tricks on what you can go for, whether you want to highlight your long legs or not.
If you want to highlight your long legs:
- When you’re tall, a pair of tight-fitting trousers or jeans will look fantastic on you because they accentuate your long legs, making them a popular choice for tall women.
- Trousers or jeans in light washes or generally lighter tones help to emphasize your long legs without making them appear overly long.
- If you really want to draw attention to your legs, opt for cropped-length jeans or trousers, as this style will particularly elongate your legs. If you don’t wish to emphasize your leg length, simply do the opposite and stay away from this type of trouser.
- Tall women also look great in skirts. If you choose a skirt over trousers or jeans, go for a knee-length skirt, as this cut tends to be more flattering for taller women.
If you don’t want to emphasize your long legs:
1. If you prefer not to highlight your long legs, printed or patterned jeans are a great choice, as they attract the eye and help break up the long silhouette.
2. Flat shoes in a different color than your trousers or jeans are a good option if you don’t want your legs to appear too long. This way, your legs won’t draw too much attention. Choosing colorful shoes can also shift the focus away from your legs. The same goes for pairing your trousers with a brightly colored top, which will also draw attention away from your legs.
3. Cuffed trousers are another popular detail when it comes to finding trousers for tall women. Cuffs make your legs appear shorter. You can either choose trousers or jeans with cuffs, or you can fold your trousers up a couple of times to create the same effect.
We hope you’ve gained a better understanding of what to look for when shopping for trousers for tall women. We also hope you now have a clearer idea of what you can do – whether you want to highlight your long legs or not.
