For tall men, finding jeans that actually fit can feel like a never-ending mission. You finally find a pair you like, only to realise the legs are too short, the rise is too low, or the proportions just don’t sit right. Sound familiar?

At TALL TOGS, we believe that every tall man deserves jeans that fit comfortably, look sharp, and make him feel confident. The secret isn’t just in the waist size or brand name it’s all about the inseam.

In this guide, we’ll explain what inseam length really means, how to measure it correctly, and how to choose jeans that flatter your tall frame while keeping you comfortable all day.

Why the Right Inseam Matters

The inseam is the inside leg measurement, from the crotch seam to the bottom hem. For tall men, this number makes all the difference between jeans that fit properly and jeans that look awkward.

Too short, and your jeans ride up when you sit or walk. Too long, and the fabric pools around your shoes. The right inseam keeps your proportions balanced and helps your outfit look effortlessly put together.

For tall builds, inseam lengths often range between 34 and 38 inches, depending on your height and the style of jeans. Getting this number right means your jeans fall neatly on your shoes without creasing or pulling.

Common Fit Problems for Tall Men

Tall men often run into the same denim frustrations. Let’s look at the most common ones and how to solve them.

Short Legs

Most brands stop at a 34 inch inseam, which often leaves taller men with exposed ankles or jeans that shrink after the first wash. Look for dedicated tall ranges that go up to 38 inch inseams they make a world of difference.

Low Rise

The rise the distance from the crotch seam to the waistband is often too short in standard jeans, leading to discomfort and an unflattering fit. Jeans designed for tall men have a deeper rise that sits naturally on the waist.

Off Balance Proportions

Buying a larger waist size to get extra leg length doesn’t work. It throws off the fit everywhere else, leaving you with baggy jeans that don’t look tailored. Always choose jeans made specifically for tall men’s proportions.

Shrinkage

Denim can shrink slightly after washing, especially if it’s 100% cotton. Always check fabric composition and care instructions to avoid losing precious length.

How to Measure Your Inseam Correctly

Measuring your inseam properly is the first step towards finding jeans that fit perfectly. Here’s the simplest way to do it:

1. Take a pair of jeans that already fit you well.

2. Lay them flat on a surface.

3. Measure from the crotch seam straight down to the bottom hem.

4. The number you get (in inches) is your inseam length.

If you don’t have jeans that fit properly, you can also measure your leg directly from your inner thigh down to the ankle bone.

Remember: a good rule of thumb is that your jeans should sit just above the sole of your shoes, creating a slight break but no bunching.

Choosing the Right Style of Jeans for Tall Men

The inseam is only part of the equation. The right fit and style can make a big difference in how your jeans look and feel. Here are a few options that flatter taller builds.

Straight Fit

The most versatile cut for tall men. Straight leg jeans provide a clean, balanced look without being too tight or too loose. They’re perfect for everyday wear and pair well with trainers or boots.

Slim Fit

Slim jeans work well if you want a modern silhouette. They’re fitted through the thigh and slightly tapered at the ankle. Just make sure they’re not skin tight you need movement and comfort.

Relaxed Fit

Great for casual days. Relaxed jeans give more room through the thigh and seat, ideal for taller men with athletic builds.

Tapered Fit

A good choice if you prefer a structured look. The taper from knee to ankle helps maintain clean proportions for longer legs.

Bootcut

Less common now, but useful if you wear chunkier shoes or boots. The slight flare at the hem balances a tall frame nicely.

Best Denim Colours for Tall Men

Your choice of colour can subtly influence how tall you appear even if you’re already the tallest person in the room.

• Dark wash jeans: Always a safe, versatile option. They work for both casual and semi formal occasions.

• Black jeans: Slimming, timeless, and easy to dress up or down.

• Light wash jeans: Great for casual outfits but can make legs look longer, so balance with a darker top.

• Grey or coloured denim: Adds variety to your wardrobe without straying too far from neutral tones.

Stick to simple finishes. Overly distressed or ripped jeans can draw attention away from clean proportions.

How to Style Jeans for Tall Men

Good jeans are the foundation of almost any outfit. Once you’ve found the right inseam, styling them becomes easy.

• Pair dark wash straight jeans with a tall fit T-shirt and trainers for a relaxed weekend look.

• Dress up with a button down shirt or light jacket for smarter occasions.

• For colder weather, add a tall hoodie or longline coat both keep proportions balanced and flattering.

The key is to keep your outfit in proportion. Longer tops and jackets designed for tall frames help maintain that natural balance.

• Use cold water: Hot water can shrink denim slightly.

• Air dry: Avoid tumble drying it can shorten the inseam over time.

With proper care, a well fitting pair of tall jeans can last for years.
