How to Measure for Jeans if You’re 5’8” or Taller
Shopping for jeans as a tall woman can feel tricky—length, rise, and proportions all matter. At TallGenes, we design jeans specifically for women 5’8” and above, so getting the right measurements helps you find the perfect fit. Here’s how to measure your body for jeans that actually work with your height:
-
Waist: Use a soft measuring tape to measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button. Make sure the tape is snug but not tight. TallGenes designs jeans with a higher rise to flatter longer torsos, so your waist measurement is key to comfort and fit.
-
Hips: Measure the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. This ensures your jeans will fit around your hips and seat without pulling or sagging. TallGenes tailors every jean to accommodate taller proportions, so this measurement is essential.
-
Inseam (Leg Length): Stand straight with your feet slightly apart. Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to the floor (or the desired length of your jeans). TallGenes denim is designed for longer legs, so your inseam measurement ensures your jeans reach the right point without being too short or too long.
-
Rise (Optional but Helpful): Measure from your crotch to your waistline to check the rise. TallGenes creates higher rises to suit taller torsos, giving you a flattering, comfortable fit.
By taking these measurements and comparing them with the sizing guide on TallGenes, you can confidently shop denim that fits perfectly, looks great, and flatters your taller frame. Stop guessing—get jeans that are truly made for your height.
