Jeans for tall people...

This may have been covered before... but....
I have long since given up the campaign in trying on jeans/trousers in other shops, but have decided to vent anyway. There seems to be a lack of common sense amongst most fashion retailers as to the height or some people and the fact that we also would like jeans and trousers that do not swing around our ankles and do fit properly!!!!!!!! :mad:
I'm 5'11" and my sister is 6". Topshop is the only place that does jeans or trousers in a 36" leg. Which is admittedly a little too long, but a 34" looks ridiculous. Why is this??? Do these people just not realise this?? Or are we going to be forced to pay the earth for jeans from designer brands which often dont fit as nicely as the price tag would indicate?!! ArHHH! sorry. Anger.
lol. On the upside. I bought two pairs of skinny, drainpipe jeans from Topshop on sat, from the Tall section of course, and they fit like an absoloute dream. Revelling in my tallness now, as they look best on long slim legs! :hyper: But still, my anger remains, esp as London's tall section isnt that great, which leaves the others far worse!! Luckily for me, I live here, so I get to go there often and peruse the collection, but still why don't other shops get their acts together and start selling longer jeans and trousers?!!!!! :banghead:
sorry. Rant over. Apologies.

point, their trousers are majorly long, but i don't like their jeans, plus I used to work there, so have a deep set hatred of the store.
by the way, skinny fit jeans also look good on shorter people with nice legs, not just tall people.
I meant more high street stores though, student on a budget.
Anyhoo. I see your point, but from the people I've seen wearing them, taller people generally look better in them, but I'm sure short people can pull them off too.
gah jeans shopping for everyone is a nightmare. Next do to a selection of tall trousers etc, but you have to order them especially. Plus, I'm more of a jeans person, and let's face it, next is geared more towards the granny market!!! :yuck:
i don't shop in places like new look and that so i'm not really sure
I need new jeans aswell but am dreadin the mission Il have getting any....
:yes: admit defeat and head to topshop. Its either that, or buying them a couple of sizes too big and wearing them really low... but thats not an amazing look.
The skinny fit jeans in the tall section in topshop are cool.
Jeans shopping is a bloody nightmare tho, I feel your pain!! :nervous:
I am nearly 5'4" (pretty average I reckon) but have short legs.
yeh i was just going to say, it's just as hard for tall people as it is for short people.
eta: i'm also 5'4" but luckily have quite long legs!
hehe, i was going to say that. i always have to hack at least 4 inches off my zara trews.
(no, no shop bought jeans fit me either)
