tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 We have all discussed shoe sizes, and the various styles and fits, but I have recently found that womens jeans are even more varied. I have been wearing womens Levi's for the last 5 years. As I thought that was the only way to get a 36 to 38" inseam. When Levis sold out to overseas, and their O-spin line went away, I started looking again for long legged low-rise womens jeans. In Levis I am usually a Juniors 11 xlong, but in the neuvo tough series I was a 9jr. Now I have found that in Gap jeans I can comfortably wear a misses 8 in some jeans, but in others I have to wear a misses 10. In Holister Jeans I can wear a 8 misses or a 9 jr. All these jeans I have found at various places have these jeans in everything from a 30" inseam to a 38 and sometimes even a 39" inseam! With 2" and lower heels I can get away with a 36" inseam, but I prefer the 38" inseam when wearing my 3.5 and 4" heels. What are others wearing in jeans with their heels??? I would like to know how they like their particular brand. I even ordered a pair of "Cruel Girl" xlong jeans and they had a nice fit and style. tightlevisandhhoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Tightlevisandhhboots:-) My jeans are from Liz Clabourne and Venezia. All are in the boot-cut style. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well, mine are boot cut Levi's with a 36 inch inseam. They work pretty well for me. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Wearing women's jeans.....something I've never considered until I read about you guys wearing them. Aren't they "cut" to the female shape? (waste smaller than hips?) At least, that's the way they look to me. (Hmmmmm -- just turned on the TV to the Fox News network. Bridget Quinn, one of the "Info babes" reporting on that channel, is wearing a nice business suite and a pair of slingback sandles (with, it looks like, 4" heels). Sharp!!!!!)) Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 since i will be 50 on my next birthday, in January, I think the days for me of having curvy buns are all but past (although I am in pretty good physical condition.....I'm not as "slim" as I once was)......

sscotty727 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'm not as "slim" as I once was You and me both Bubba. I am finding out with 3 kids and a long drive to/from work, it ain't easy getting back there either. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well I am 6'4"+ and have a normal inseam of 35 to 36". And with a 32" waist and 36" hips, I find that the womens low-rise styles fit best, although I have found a few of the high waisted styles that fit well too. I am nearly 40 and still like to wear jeans that are tight and bum showing. I used to live in 501 Levis, and then found womens 501's fit better when I tried a pair on by accident, I then branched out, and found that Levis made jeans in really long lengths (or they used too... ) But now that I have found these other styles I am much happier again.

kneehighs Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Have you looked at the Nordstrom's site yet? They have Seven For All Mankind in Tall with a 35" inseam. Seven's aren't nearly in style as much as they were a few years ago, YET they still remain a staple in any woman's desinger denim closet. I have more than a few pairs of these and I can't recommend them more--for comfort (usually 2% Lycra and 98% cotton), for a modern denim look (their color is still Urban), and their versatility (they can be dressed down for casual meetings or dressed up for a night on the town). I'm sure there are other designers that might fit you better but thought you might appreciate the above link...good luck on your search. I've never personally bought from the GAP, but I know their long inseams are advertised at 36" in length. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.

onyourtoes Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Women's sizes are all over the place for me. Some brands are very loose in the hips, but most fit me better than mens. My favorites are Riders stretch jeans, that's the K-Mart house brand. They're a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxrenesis Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Having a 29 ~ 30" waist and 34" inseam I never find my size in men's jeans. Women's sz 8 or 10 tall fit the best depending on the brand. I discover my wms size from handme downs from my daughter. Lee Riders seem to fit me the best. Jeff I'll have to give Levi's a try. If the shoe fits BUY IT http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/rxrenesis/Shoe%20Shots/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Well...I'm quite a bit over the hill a bit further than most of you guys and Mickey says that I have no back porch ever. After saying that...I have been told that I look good in my girly jeans and most people didn't even know that they were girl's jeans. They fit me much better than the men's jeans and are quite comfortable being of a material that isn't thick and unflexible like the material in men's jeans.

Pam Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I can recommend sevens (KH just pointed out the reasons); for the human kind, and there is another brand called CHiP & Pepper which are pretty good. GAP is also a good way to go...especially their new curvy cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Thanks for all the recommendations!! I will continue to look and try, as I think I like my tight jeans as much as I like to wear my hhboots. The Gap jeans come in 38 inseam as do some of the "Cruel Girl" jeans. But both are a higher waist than my Levis that I love. Unfortunately Levis no longer will make my long inseam jeans, so I have to move on. I like a ultra-low rise like Levis too-superlow, although the 518 superlow is not too bad. The Gap and the CG both are a little higher than the Levi's 518's. If anyone comes across jeans that are tight, with about a 7 to 8" rise with a 38" inseam let me know, as I will try them out right away. Thanks again all!!!!

B-booted Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Interesting - don't know why I started wearing women's jean - probably a better range of bootcut styles. Once I started wearing them, I just didn;t buy male jeans anymore! Good to see others doing the same. No one has ever noticed or commented, indeed jeans are pretty unisex.

micha Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 As I thought that was the only way to get a 36 to 38" inseam. Hi tightlevisandhhboots, I don't know if I understood your question correctly. Or if you placed your question correctly. In my opinion the length of jeans is always measured at the outer seam. Simply the distance below the upper waist and the lowest part of your trouser legs. Isn't the inseam the inner length of your jeans legs Please guys, enlighten me! The best fashion is your own fashion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I got started wearing girls jeans because the guys here were wearing them with their boots. I soon found the fit and feel was much better than the male jeans. Like someone said, they are unisex and no one has looked or commented on them in any way.

tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 micha, THe jeans in the US measure the leg length in "inseam". The standard inseam leangths are short 30" medium 32" long 34" But for Gap and a few others they offer longer lengths, especially in their boot or flare cut jeans. Hope this helps, TLAHHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 So who here has the longest inseam jeans? AND how tall of a heel can you wear with them? TLAHHBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I also have jeans with a 36 inch inseam and can wear five inch heels quite easily with them. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 36" is my standard size to wear with regular boots. 35" is my standard with flats, and my 38"s are what I wear with my 3.5 and 4" boots, and there is still plenty of heel to show with the 38". I would have to find someone who makes a 40" inseam to cover 5" and not show much! TLAHHBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 I wouldn't say it is a contest. it's more of a disadvantage for me, just think about how many more styles you get to buy and wear than I do, I have a very limited supply of items that fit me properly...

TLAHHBs Well, depending on how tall you are, you don't want your inseam to be too long to the point where they're actually dragging on the ground. Not only is that unsightly, it wears out the hem. A few weeks ago, I watched a girl wearing too long jeans actually trip and nearly fall. Watching from across a street, I fought to keep from laughing. FYI.

tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Good point Jeff. I have been luck to never have that particular problem. I used to be the guy who was always walking around in "high-water" jeans as a kid because i was growing faster than my parents could afford to get me jeans...

w6ish Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 i wear my heels with Guess jeans, which as you know, come down to just above the heel, so nothing is hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musiclover Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I prefer wearing low rise women jeans, almost all I have look somehow girly (no back pockets, or no pockets at all, and one pair have zipper on the back side). There are more styles available, and I find men jeans all look almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
