How to Figure Out Your Perfect Length of Your Jeans

Have you ever wondered how to figure out what the proper length of your jeans should be?  Well have no fear, True Jeans is hear to prevent you from becoming the next jean length fashion victim. 

Jeans that are the proper length should be just about skimming the ground when you stand straight.  Anything any shorter than this is a definite fashion faux-pas.

To find the right length of jeans for you, you should start be asking yourself what shoes you will be wearing with your jeans before you determine what the proper length should be.  The jeans you wear with ballet flats will be considerably shorter than the jeans you wear with high heels.

Once you have determined which shoes you will mostly likely be wearing, it is time to do some measuring.  Select a pair of jeans or pants that you like the length of and lay them out on a flat surface. Measure the inside seam (from where the pant seam meets the crotch seam) to the bottom of the leg opening. If you don't have a pair of pants that represent your ideal length, use a less than ideal pair, and add or subtract inches accordingly.

All of the jeans featured on our site have the approximate inseam length in the details section of their description.  This approximate measurement should give you an idea of how long or short each particular jean will be. 

Most of designer jeans are unfortunately only manufactured in one inseam length.  Because most designer jeans will be long on those with an average or short inseam, we always suggest getting an original hem on your jeans. An original hem (sometimes called a tricky hem or European hem) maintains the integrity of your jeans because it does not involve any cutting. True Jeans is now trying to take some of the hassle out of getting your jeans hemmed; we are offering original hemming service for $15.00 per pair.  Good tailors are usually able to alter jeans using the original hem method for a slightly higher cost than a regular hem.

When your jeans are the correct length your legs will look elongated and your entire figure will be flatter and slimmed.  Now who wouldn't want that!
