When you are a tall guy, life is good.
Buying jeans, however, can be a disaster. If you have long legs or a larger frame, finding jeans that fit comfortably and don’t look terrible is surprisingly difficult.
We are going to set you up with 12 pairs that are made to suit taller guys. These jeans are mostly blended fabric — stretchier that regular jeans — with longer legs and more room that what you’d normally come across.
Ready? Let’s go.

Everlane The Slim Fit Jean $68.00
Easy and slim—but not skinny. These jeans are made of premium 11 oz Japanese denim that feels substantial, but has a touch of stretch for comfort. Everlane is one of the best to get into Japanese denim , which they’ve done very well.

SAINT LAURENT Skinny-Fit Stretch-Denim Jeans $385.00
Saint Laurent is a brand I always suggest to taller guys because they are so well made. In this case, if you have a lanky figure, the skinny, stretch fit will accommodate those long legs and still look great.

Mr. Porter Nudie Jeans $100.00
Made from durable organic denim that’s whiskered and faded for a worn look, this ‘Sleepy Sixten’ style is cut in a comfortable straight leg.
These are less skinny that some of the others mentioned, so if you are both tall and wide, they are a good choice.

Buck Mason Slim Fit Jean $135.00
I love Buck Mason’s knits and jeans, so I had to include them here. They have that laid-back California style, with a wider leg and durable fabric.
These jeans would be perfect if you need a go-to in your closet for going out after work (but not changing). They have no distressing, so you don’t have to worry about people “not getting” why there are holes in your jeans.
About the fabric – indigo pigment will gradually shift and marble to produce subtle, natural fades. This comfortable 12 oz. denim is 100% cotton.

Best Light Wash for Tall Guys
Blank Denim Prps Windsor Slim Fit Jeans $246.00
Stretch-denim jeans that’ll become a closet staple are cut with a modern, skinny fit and finished with a faded dirty wash, rips and abrasions for a well-worn look.

Banana Republic Banana Republic Slim Rapid Movement Denim Gray Wash Jean $56.00
These are a great choice if you are invited to tons of “smart casual” affairs. Indeed Banana Republic should be called the “smart casual” mecca.
Blend fabric jeans that have the slimming properties of a dark wash but room to chill if you are a bigger guy. Not too much stretch but enough so you wont be uncomfortable. Slight whiskering on the front and a long leg to accommodate your long legs.

Mott and Bow Skinny – Staple $128.00
For those who like a tighter fit with a tapered leg opening…
92% Blend fabric and a rich dark blue wash make these a great choice. The fit is a bit snug, so beware if you like a wide cut jean.

Topman Skinny Stretch Jeans $60.00
Extra slim-fitting, cotton-denim jeans are made with some stretch for comfort in a classic five-pocket style.
Simple, stretch jeans that will look great going out or working all day as a creative. We should write an article about the “creative’s uniform”….these would be in there for sure.

Research / Frequent Questions
What kind of jeans should tall guys wear?
The most common jean taller men wear is straight leg and regular fit. This usually works best for their length
Also always look for long cut if you are tall
Avoid skinny fit jeans as these will not be flattering to your tall frame
What should tall skinny guys wear?
They should wear items that they are slim fitting, not skinny fit at all. They are good looking jeans for taller skinnier guys, but the skinny fit just makes it look too skinny if your tall.
Layers, they are very important. They will accent your jeans and make colors pop while not focusing solely on your height
