Being tall!

the cat

P.s i just saw a man relieving himself in mcDonalds (not good:( )

Join the club, im 5ft 11. I have searched high and low for the prefect pair, the places that i have found to be good are vera moda, vila and levis jeans are excellent too.

I have the same problem but after many years of whinging I decided to invest in a decent pair so bought a pair of seven jeans from the US and oh my god they are just fab. Go to BT's, try all different styles on and when you find what you like take the style number down on the sly and order them online and save a fortune.
2 kids later I don't have time to browse around the shops either so much easier to pop into BT's at lunctime, phone my mate in the states and get her to get them for me and send over. You can buy them online aswell!!. I got a nice pair of Pepe ones a while ago aswell which are lovely, give them a go.
It's annoying though that it's such a pain to try and get a decent pair of jeans long enough!!. Good luck!;)

Topshop and Next both do long leg jeans sizes. I'm in between really when I go shopping regular leg is always too small and long leg too small. As a result I've only about four proper fitting jeans that I actually like.

Dorothy perkins does a great range of leg lengths.
New Look in Liffey Valley can be good too......

I've been in town all day, tried eveywhere. found a nice pair in topshop but because my ass is so big they looked terrible!!!!

I thought this thread was about tall people. Not 5 foot midgits:p

TBH, Levis do an excellent inside leg of 33 inch's, and is sold in Arnotts (I think), and in some place's in the Jervis Shopping Centre.

I assume you mean too long

I have that problem. Regular length doesn't reach my ankles and long has to be turned up (at least with Next jeans). I've a couple of pairs of Diesels that are just about perfect though - they seem to have a lot of variations with length.

Have the same problem OP and I'm the same height.

Go to Bershka in the Jervis centre.

Great jeans there,too long for me if anything!

Really nice fit though.

yeah my friend and I caught some old dude up to strange stuff, i just wanna forget about it cos it was yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccck!!!!

Anyway, i tried a few places got nothing (was v. depressed but hugged a giant sandwich in temple bar that cheered me up!) but the main problem is my ass being too big, so its back to the gym for me! Thanks for the help ppl!

I'm just over 6ft 1, and never have a problem finding jeans - try Denim Depot or Next. Or just buy a longish pair that aren't too tight and then get them turned up.

Not sure wether your a boy or a gir??
But if your a girl,heres my advice (Im 6 foot 1)
Topshop tall,long tall sally (in clerys) and zara are the only places I can buy trousers or clothes in general.

I suppose it depends on your body proportions.Theres some tall people who can find trousers easily cos theyve got a long body and short legs. Ive got about 35inch legs and most jean sizes just go up to 32 or 34 but topshop tall and Longtall sally leg sizes up to 36

Hi, did not think there were many girls with the same problem as me, i have a 37" leg, usually i have to go with a 36" leg and let down the hem. Sometimes i can get clothles altered as well, which when your female and 6ft3 is a v common thing to do!

DubNside

I would say that the reason there are'nt a lot of long-Jeans etc available in shops is that there are very few irish women over the 6ft mark?

So why would clothles shops stock for a very limited market?

Wow long legs! lucky you;) . Id say your best bet is definatly Long tall sally in Clerys.I think they do trousers up to length 38 and 40.

I'm 30/34 and I dont think they make people my shape anymore


*sigh*

I usually order most things online. Its hard getting Skirts as well as most "normal" length ones turn into mini-skirts on me!
Shoes as well, being a size 9 its hard to get a lot of the latest styles as most sizes stop at a 7 or 8.

Are girl's leg length's different from men's leg lengths? Maybe we wear the croth of our trousers lower or something. I'm 6'5" and only 36" legs - although I have great difficulty finding them in town. 6'3" and 37" legs sounds like a nightmare (or some sort of dream when attached to a woman ), and I'm surprised 38" leg trousers even exist!

DubNside

Women would have proportionately longer limbs than men.

If you stand a Man and woman of the same height side by side you can clearly see the differences.
