Silly question about inside leg!

I'm getting myself all mixed up. When measuring your inside leg do you go to the floor or to your ankle? 😳

I go to the floor because I hate ankle flapping trousers but I’m sure I’ve read it’s meant to be to the ankle bone.

Don’t measure your human leg! Measure a pair of your trousers that are the perfect length on you x

Brilliant advice

It's to the place you want them to end.

Perfect, thank you all! I feel stupid as thought my inside leg was a certain length and bought a pair of wide leg jeans that I'm standing on so have got totally confused. So I have went from thinking I am a 33" leg to a 31" and somehow other trousers or jeans have managed to fit.

As a PP said, brilliant advice thank you.

Must admit I feel silly though. I am tall so always go for tall sizing but looks like this isn't meant to always be the case!

I'm 33 inch leg to the floor and often find long length in wide leg and flared trousers is too long, I think wide legs are supposed to bag a bit but I don't like them dragging, XL at Next which is 33 can sometimes be very long, in Levi's I have a 32 and they seem perfect

@RedRiverShore6 funny you should mention Next as this is where I bought the tall XL wide let jeans from and they are ridiculously long! I worry the 31 long length will be too short.
