The Best Jeans to Try if You Have Long Legs

Tall women are generally pretty lucky when it comes to fashion. You don’t have to get things hemmed for length, you don’t feel pressured to wear heels and you don’t have to make your legs look longer. One problem you do have is finding jeans that aren’t comically short. Enter cropped flares, a trending silhouette that also happens to be the best jeans style for tall women.

Think about it: Since most jeans are a hair too short for you anyway, why not lean into the cropped thing and choose a pair that's supposed to be too short?

To add to the flattering effect, opt for a high-waist pair and tuck in your top to highlight your waist. 

Accessories-wise, this style is excellent for showing off a gorgeous pair of shoes—but also looks great if you're more of a sneakers type of gal like our friend above. (Also note that, in general, darker washes look a little more dressed-up, while light washes keep the vibe casual.)

Floor-sweeping? Nah. Show off those ankles, baby.
