Longer length trousers for big bums?

I went through all my clothes and have chucked half of them, leaving me with a grand total of one pair of trousers. But I'm having a nightmare finding ones that fit. I'm size 14 and 34" leg. Frustratingly I'm between sizes in most jeans And, even more frustratingly, fewer shops are even stocking longer length any more (John Lewis I'm looking you) so you have to order online and try on.

Is long tall Sally any good? I bought some jeans from fat face which fitted well but developed a hole after a couple of months so returned them. I can't get them past my thighs wear skinny style jeans or trousers. Summer was fine as I could get away with cropped but now I need full length!

Long Tall Sally are usually good but can be pricey - if you're on FB join the Long Tall Sally buy/sell/trade group - they discuss all things tall (not just LTS) and there's a post for current discount threads.

I have just tried a pair from ASOS tall and they were long enough but weird in the bum/thigh area - will definitely try some different styles though to see if it's a general thing or just a fluke.

You could try the Tall Collective - like an Amazon platform for tall people stuff.

I've had joy with Next in the past - you can just about get away with being a 34" leg in there tall section.

Last but not least, of you have a good rummage Primark go up to a 34" leg in their skinny jeans - might do other styles. Just make sure the leg length on the label matches the sticker as sometimes the stickers are out in wrong.

I'm the same size as you and can sympathise. Why shops don't put leg lengths online is a mystery. John Lewis are particularly bad at it.

Can help with jeans though, Levi online have 34" leg length and a 29 " waist option ( which is a size 13 I think).
The other jeans I have that are perfect are Paige but they were very spendy even in the sale.

I'm embracing the ankle skimming look at the moment with too short cigarette trousers.
