An Open Letter To ALL Legging Manufacturers
Go back to making leggings that fit, please.
I’ve always been that freaky tall girl who everyone wants on their basketball team because she can just reach up and dunk the ball without jumping. Until the poor bastards find out that I play sports like this:
I was 5-foot-6 for most of high school. I suddenly sprouted an extra 3 inches in college, and have stayed that way ever since. The inseam on my long-legged pants should honestly be at least 30 inches.
Women’s pants generally have an inseam only as long as 28 inches.
As you can tell, shopping for any kind of pants has always been a bother. Sometimes you’ll get lucky and find ‘tall’ option in stores. Other times you just have to shop in the men’s section, where there is no S, M, L bologna in pants — they just have the measurements right there for your convenience.
But I’m a die-hard leggings girl, and those are hard to find in the men’s section. It’s a real shame, because if men’s fashion included leggings, you wouldn’t have to double and triple-check that they had pockets before buying them. It would be a given.
