Welcome to Jeans Month on the Strategist, where we’re obsessively vetting denim — from trying on every pair at the Gap to asking dozens of stylish people about their favorite fits. For more, head to our Jeans Month hub.

There are lots of advantages to being tall — seeing above the crowd at concerts and always being able to reach the top shelf of the pantry, for example — but finding jeans that fit can be a trade-off. I’m five-foot-two, and as I talked to several five-foot-eight-and-taller women for this story, I realized just how hard it is to track down a long-enough pair: Most jeans come in 27- to 29-inch inseams, and multiple taller women told me that their ideal inseam is at least 30 inches. Not to mention that “tall”-length jeans are often the first to sell out — and while petite women can get their pairs hemmed, those with a higher stature can’t just add extra fabric.

The good news: Among the stylish and tall (between five-foot-eight and six-foot-six) women I talked to for this story, there were plentiful recommendations for jeans with longer-than-average inseams. They include a range of styles — from skinnies and straight legs to looser cuts — so there’s a pair here for every taste and preference. And if you’re in the market for more specific denim, I wrote the Strategist’s guides to the best high-waisted jeans and mom jeans as well.
