At 5’8, I’m not exactly supermodel-level tall, but I am lengthy enough to have experienced the difficulty and frustration that so often comes along with trying to find jeans designed with inseams long enough to actually hit my ankles (because no, I’m not into the capri pants look anymore). To be fair, shopping for jeans regardless of your height or body shape isn’t exactly easy, but when you’re on the leggy side, it comes with its own unique list of struggles. Since I was eight or nine years old—and possibly even younger (I had a really sudden growth spurt in the second grade)—-finding bottoms that fit reasonably well and didn’t hit awkwardly on my long legs has been a major issue. Now, there are some extra-long options on offer, but they’re often ~so~ long that they end up looking like you’ve been shopping around in your dad’s closet or they require a trip to the seamstress to tailor them to fit properly.  Sure, ankle-grazing cuts are chic and perfectly on-trend, but when you’re over 5’7, this length can be a struggle to pull off thanks to a lack of longer-inseam styles available on the market.
