Find Your Fit: Inseams

There’s a lot that goes into finding a pair of jeans that just feels right. Whether you're rocking a Y2K-inspired flare or keeping it classic with straight-leg jeans, understanding how inseam measurements align with your height and style goals is key to rocking every fit.

WHAT IS AN INSEAM?

The inseam is one of the crucial measurements to consider when finding your ideal pair. It’s the length of the inner leg seam, and if you go to a tailor, they’ll measure your inseam by the distance between your crotch and ankle. It differs from the length of a pair of jeans, a more common measurement taken from the waistband to the bottom of the leg.

The length of an inseam truly determines how long your jeans are: from baggy to skinny, each style will hit differently based on inseam length. Finding the right inseam ensures that your jeans will fit comfortably instead of stretching too far past your ankles, while providing you with plenty of room to move.

SHORT INSEAMS FOR THE CROPPED LOOK

Think ankle-baring straight-leg cuts or distressed skinny jeans paired with classic white sneakers or heeled boots. Show off your favorite footwear with a shorter inseam that’s paired with a generous rise. The Truly Snatched Jennie High Rise Skinny Jean delivers an all-day fit that puts your curves front and center, from its cinched waist to an ankle-hugging length.

LONG JEANS WITH A BIT OF FLAIR

Flared jeans with a longer inseam feature a bell-bottom shape that really elongate the look of your legs. Try the Joey Flare Jean, an alluring silhouette with a light fade, two-tone stitching, and plenty of room for your favorite boots or statement heels.

HIGH WAISTED JEANS TO BRING BACK Y2K

Nobody does Y2K fashion better or more authentically than True Religion, and it shows in the Big T Super Baggy Cargo Jean. With its high-rise waist and acid-washed look, it comes packed with generous pockets and denim zipper strings.

ACCESSORIZE WITH STATEMENTS PIECES, TEES, AND JACKETS

Match the rise and length of your jeans with the vibe you're going for. Pair a baggy look with a tight baby tee for a killer contrast or a cropped denim jacket to show off some skin.

Your accessories will complete the look, too. Go full maximalist with a unisex belt that shows off how bold you truly are. The Buddha Monogram Belt features the iconic combination of gold and dark brown, plus a wide stretch of leather to define your eye-catching look.

No matter how you choose to complement your denim, finding the inseam that matches your body will deliver the right silhouette, helping you stay comfortable all day (and all night).
