29-30.... everything is always too long on me!

gypsyfreak · Coach

Mine is 30". Buying pants is a b*tch for me too. Everything is always too long or sits at the crotch funny. I have to try everything on before buying.

lilyann · Dooney & Bourke

32 is pretty perfect for me.

what's your regular inseam? 34" I love being tall but buying pants long enough can be a b*tch.

Same here. Have you tried Rock and Republics? They have a 36 inch inseam. I love that about them (I have to have them heemed which is so unusual), but they don't look right on me.

sfclinevandy · Coach

34.

Elle · Hermes

29" (flats), 30" (kitten heels), or 31" (higher heels).

Most regular pants are really long on me, too .

avery · Nine West

34 here too...When I actually find pants that fit, I usually buy them in multiple colors just because they are so hard to find!!

halleybird · Hermes

I like 33" for flats (though I can sometimes get away with 32-32.5" if the shoes are super-flat/thin) and 34-34.5" for heels. I find that at a lot of stores, smaller size=smaller inseam, so I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough.

honey · Gucci

32 for flats & low heels. 34 for high heels, but longer is better since i like my pants to almost skim the floor. i'm usually happy with 34" inseams, but have found that they shrink a little after some washings which is annoying.

calico · Kenneth Cole

30" or 31" depending on the brand; pants are always too long

kenzie · Chanel

Usually a 34. It's a little long with flats (but not too long) and perfect with heels. I think my actual inseam is 33.

lynnie · Chanel

maybe 31.5" or 32" for flats or modest heels, 33" for heels but i never wear em.

berryahou35 · Dooney & Bourke

29, 30

34 - and HB, I have the same issue! Smaller size waist = shorter inseam

Wouldn't you think they'd get smart by now and make longer inseams on smaller sizes?

Lilykind · Hermes

30" flats, 32.5" - 33.5" heels

I buy short lengths for flats and regular lengths for heels.

Seashells · Dooney & Bourke

I get everything hemmed to 31.5". It fits flats & heels

yeah, or at least make "long" lengths in smaller sizes. J.Crew and BR have long lengths in all their pants except for 0.

(of course, if they'd fix their vanity-sizing problem, I wouldn't be a 0. Grrr.)

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I always buy my jeans extra long, so most of them are 34" (about 33" after drying). I can't stand too-short jeans, so that's why. Plus, I have really long legs (unfortunately a short torso to match ), so when I wear heels, they're the perfect floor skimming length.

I think if I were to buy them my correct length I'd be a 32". Oh, I'm 5'4" also
