How do jeans/trouser sizes work again?

[dizzy77]

I'm buying some new maternity jeans online. I have the choice of leg lengths - 28", 30", 32" and 34" (they're New Look, over bump, considering grey & dark blue as quite cheap in case you're interested).

Ages since I've bought jeans without trying them on but needs must. Just measured the pair I've been wearing today and I'm confused. They're crops which I'd roll up in the summer, right now they sit just above my ankle bone (so fine with socks and boots). They are 27" inside leg and 37" outside. I always think of myself as long legged and New Look stuff does tend to come up small. So is 30" adequate or should I try the 32" and turn up?

How tall are you? I'm 5ft 2 and have some New Look 30" jeans which are just long enough to my foot. If you are taller then you should go for 32" I think!

Crikey. I'm 5'7" and I'm pretty sure usually go for 32", my legs are the longer part of me do maybe I should try even longer!

Better too long than too short, try 34". Maybe it depends on what shoes/heels you'll wear with them.

I would love to think of myself as long legged

Aww thanks littlepandabear. I only think of myself as long legged in the sense I am also short bodied! Will have a stab at the 34" as nothing worse than ankle swingers. I pack some junk in my trunk and that tends to hoick my trousers up too.

I'm 5ft 5 and go for 30", even then they are slightly on the long side. I'd have thought 32" would be a good bet for you.

I'm 5'7 ang get the 34s, in an ideal world I get a 33 though.... Never happy!
