Long Jeans for Tall Juniors (male)
If you’re a mom or a dad, on the hunt for new jeans for your tall teenage son, you know it isn’t a walk in the park.
If your son has an inseam of more than 34″, it’s hard to find anything in normal stores.
Most mainstream brands have their upper inseam limit around 34 inches inseam, which isn’t enough if you are about 6 feet or above.
I myself am 6’8″, and 34″ inseam hasn’t been long enough since my early teens. Now, I need to buy all my tall clothes and long jeans from special stores dedicated to us tall.
I’ve created a list with tall men’s clothing, where you will find a lot of great new brands catering for tall guys looking for jeans, pants, jackets, shoes and more.
The list contains more than 50 brands that are either
- regular brands with a tall range, or
- tall brands that only carries longer lengths
On the list, you will see some icons specifying whether the brands are mainstream brands expanding with a tall line – or the clothing brand is a dedicated tall brand that lives for us tall and our clothing needs.
If you are short on time – or simply just tired of browsing the web in search for long jeans for tall juniors – then I highly recommend skipping the regular brands and jump directly to the dedicated tall brands.
If you want to go about finding jeans in longer lengths in a more focused way, you can skip the more general list of tall men’s clothing – and jump straight to my list of great finds with jeans for tall men.
This isn’t a list dedicated to the young teens with longer limbs. However, there is a huge overlap between what’s made for men, guys, juniors or teenagers.
A tall teenager is also a young man, so I’m sure you’ll find a tall brand or two with some long jeans that fit and look great on your son.
If you don’t find anything in there, please let me know what you are looking for specifically, and I can look into finding exactly that for you and for the rest of the tall community in here.

For tall women, it is as much an issue to find long jeans that fit as it is for the tall men. Normal stores carry women’s jeans in inseams up to around 35″, but that’s also where most of them stop.
If you want to find some long jeans for a tall teenage daughter, you need to either go for

American Tall is a brand founded around the idea of serving tall men, but recently they branched out to women’s clothing as well, and its looking really promising. Worth checking out at least.

Tips on how to choose tall jeans
Being 6’8″ myself, I have a bit of experience in choosing tall jeans. I’ve tried a lot of different brands, and have a pretty good idea about what to look for – and what to watch out for.
On top of my personal experiences with these brands selling jeans in longer inseams, I also have a few general recommendations when you are shopping clothes for a tall teenager.
These are tips that I would probably also get if asking my mom or dad about their experiences around finding clothes for their tall teen – namely me.
Here are 5 tips to help you find the right fit and design:
- Buy up to 34″ inseam in normal stores: Before you spend the time and money on shopping at dedicated tall shops, I recommend checking your son or daughter’s inseam an extra time. If the inseam is 34″ or shorter, you will be able to shop at normal stores. 34 inches inseam is normally the upper limit of what you can get in regular stores. So give that a try before moving on to the tall brands.
- Forget about the “junior” part: Tall clothing is already a niche. Don’t go too deep within an area that is already niche. By that, I mean that you should forget about the junior part for a second – and give the clothes for tall women or tall men a try. What fits a tall man or women probably also fits your tall teenager or junior.
- Go for cheaper options: Remember; teenagers grow fast, and that means they will outgrow their jeans within a year or two. That’s why I recommend buying something less expensive, so you can afford to buy more often. When your son or daughter is fully grown, you (or they) can invest their hard earned money in brands that are more expensive. At least, that’s what I have done, now that I’m not growing any taller.
- Beware of skinny fit: Slim fit, regular fit and tapered fit is fine. Skinny fit, on the other hand, is probably not the best idea for a tall teenager. When you are tall, you are often also skinny, and with a lanky body comes skinny legs. When you are a teenager, the last thing you want is to stand out in the crowd. Therefore, it is maybe not a good idea to emphasize the extraordinary skinny legs of your kid – by buying them long jeans that are glued to the thighs. Go for the more loose options that doesn’t emphasise the legs as much, but leaves more room for the body.
- Order, then return: Last tip is to not be afraid of ordering, then returning the things that doesn’t fit or you just don’t like the design of. It’s very difficult to get a really good idea about sizing and looks from online images, measurements and size charts. Therefore, you want to go for brands that offer good shipping and return policies. This gives you a low risk and low cost associated with ordering, then returning what wasn’t right for you, your son or daughter.
I hope you’ve gotten some background knowledge on where to look, what to keep in mind and how to navigate the space of tall people’s clothing – especially in regards to finding long jeans for tall juniors.
The overall advice is to not focus too much on the fact that who you are buying clothes for is a young person. You want to look for clothes made for tall men and tall women.
That being said, I also mentioned some things about not spending too much on the fancy brands before your tall teenager is fully grown. They are simply going to outgrow their jeans to fast, and that’s too bad if you’ve spend a lot of money on them.
