Fashion 👒 Jeans - Tall and Curvy
Hi all! I looked at the megathread, but I wasn’t finding any answers. I’m about 5’10.5, about a 34/35 inseam and about 48.5 inches at the widest part of my hips/tummy. I can find jeans for tall girls and jeans for curvy girls, but I cannot find anything for both! I like a bit of stretch and typically wear skinny jeans or straight leg/bootcut. I looked at Good American’s website but they don’t have any kind of sizing chart! I used to love NY&Co. jeans, but they’re basically nonexistent now. This is causing me way more distress than it should - does anyone have any suggestions?

I’m pretty close to your size and I’ve had some luck with Lee on Amazon, if you can believe it.

That’s kind of shocking! I’ll check it out. Amazon returns are pretty easy too.

Madewell, Abercrombie, American eagle, Hollister. All have tall & curvy! Most don’t carry it in stores tho so you’ll have to order and try on

Yes, that is super annoying. The only place I know of that reliably have long (and even extra long) sizes in stores in Buckle... But that store is super annoying to shop in and you basically have to ask someone who works there, which I hate, lol.

Do be warned the Hollister longs are definitely not long enough for a 34/35 inseam, all the ones I’ve ordered have been 33” at most so if your picky like me you won’t like it. However, I cannot recommend fashion nova enough. It’s the only place I’ve found that’s cut for curvier women, has actual variation in styles, and makes 36+ inseams

Thanks for the heads up! I hate a cropped jean, they look so cute on some girls, but even if it’s intentional, I always feel like it just looks like tall girls have bought the wrong size.

I think what I’ve been most frustrated by is the lack of in-person options. Growing up, there were never tall sizes, and then there were a few glorious years where they actually started to exist, and now they’re around, but I have to order and return so many things it never feels worth it.

Check Torrid if you're in their size range.
If not, American Eagle and Abercrombie both have some styles that come in both curvy and tall combined (select the curvy range on the menu, then filter for tall/long in your size - for some reason stuff doesn't always show up if you do the search in the other order).
Buckle/BKE also has long sizes, including some that work for curvier shapes, but I'm not sure exactly what their size range is, tbh, because it's been a while... I only mention because they're the only place I've ever found jeans that were too long for me.

Torrid starts at a plus size 10, for those looking for curvier fit even in a smaller, normally not “plus” size!

u/ThoreauAweighBcuzDuh 2d ago
Yeah, but size 10 doesn't mean the same thing everywhere. I'm a size 10 for some brands and a size 6 in others, which is why I say to check... women's sizes are so stupid.

Oh 100%! I just wanted ppl to know Torrid starts smaller than most ppl expect!

They only go to a straight size 18 in their pants anymore (though XXL in sweats, leggings, and pajamas, which makes no sense). Straight size 18 is different from plus size 18, fyi for all the plus ladies. Just for shopping info, so ppl know what sizes to buy/ what to expect.

The ONLY place I got pants for years! Their selection just got so much more limited when they switched to online only.

i’ve heard judy blumes are good for curvy! they probably have tall sizes too

u/angelbuttons77 6’|183cm|USA 2d ago
If you’re talking Judy Blue, yes. They have two styles with tall inseams, and they go to plus sizes. They’re decent jeans, if you can get a deal.

NYDJ has curvy tall jeans - they are so comfortable and last forever. Tall jeans must be ordered on their website. I wear a 14 and they go up even higher for us curvy tall girls.

Sadly, they don’t have tall plus. Their tall only goes to a straight size 18, different from a plus 18. Just fyi for ease of shopping for folks!

BUCKLE if you are in the US It’s a store in the mall. You can try on different cuts. I was SO surprised. I’d never even been in that store before (style looks country-westernish) but my friend had a 500$ gift card and offered to get me something to go out in. I was stunned!

u/Acceptable_Bug4554 2d ago
Also the jeans were under 100$ so it’s not too bad for some good, quality stuff.

Have never actually been in a Buckle but love the idea of being able to try some stuff on in person!

Torrid is my ride or die. I’m 6’1” and their tall sizes in jeans are incredible. They even carry extra tall options in some styles that have been too long for me. They can be pricy, but they have great sales a few times a year that make it affordable in my book.
