For the past few years, I’ve been struggling with inseams. As a self-proclaimed jeans hoarder, my denim collection takes up almost a third of my walk-in closet, yet I only regularly wear one or two styles. The rest? They’re jeans I love but can’t part with—though they’re missing one key thing: the right length. At 5'7", I never considered myself tall, but I also knew I wasn’t short. I remember my doctor calling me "average height," and I took it as a mild insult. Now, even my online orders seem to disagree with me. Regular-length jeans often hit above my ankle, while tall-length pairs drown me—and I already know jeans for short women would be disastrous on me. Then, I discovered Frame’s Le Jane jeans (was $288, now $186) with their sleek, straight-leg cut and high-waist fit. Most of all, I was excited to finally try a pair of premium denim designed for women with long legs. Here's how it went. (Spoiler: They're now my most-worn jeans.)
