The long and the short of trouser and jean sizings for women can make you stop to consider at length at Boden (link: www.boden.co.uk).
So this quick guide is to help women find the right size leg length when choosing trousers or jeans from the store’s online shop.
Don’t buy jeans too short – especially if you are tall. Trousers or jeans flapping around the calves do not make for an attractive look.
Jeans should skim the ground when you’re standing up – so don’t forget to match your leg length to your leg measurement and the heels you might wear.
It’s a good idea to measure your legs wearing flats and heels so you can buy jeans or trousers to match a particular outfit at the right length.
If you already have jeans or trousers that are just the right length, then it’s far easier to measure the clothing than yourself. Take the measurement from the inside point of the crotch to the bottom of the leg opening. Check these measurements against those listed for Boden jeans before choosing.
If you’re neither one length or another then remember you can shorten a long pair of trousers but you can’t lengthen a short pair.
To make sure you get absolutely the right size, pick your trousers and jeans from the shop catalogue and click on the image to go to the product detail page. At the top of the page is a tab ‘Body and garment measurements’
Behind the tab is everything you need to know about the size and fit of Boden clothing - especially the key to those women’s trouser lengths ‘R’ and ‘L’ for ‘Regular ‘ and ‘Long’ for every different cut and style of jeans and trousers so you can almost get that made-to-measure fit like a glove.
