Nudie Jeans just phased out all its womens’ skinny jeans, and now I’m at a loss for finding non-fast fashion brands that actually fit, so I thought I’d check here.

Some things I’m looking for:

-Has a 34" or 33" inseam -Doesn’t fade within a year -Has blue and black options -Not mens’ jeans

If you can help a geriatric late-twenties millennial who refuses to get with the times, I’d be really grateful lol.

    geriatric late-twenties millennial

    I don’t have advice, but as an elder millennial in her early 40s, this stung a little lol

    I hope you find pants that fit because it’s not easy for us taller ladies sometimes. Good luck!

      Oh no, I’m sorry! Well, my attempt to self-depricate at the time backfired. I don’t actually think either of us are old, but I do have this feeling that fashion is starting to pass me by, and the feeling has only really hit me in the past couple years.

      And thank you for the well wishes. It’s tough out there. Making a tall wardrobe is full of compromises and hard-to-replace finds you hope will never fall apart.

        Lmao, nah your good, I was just joshing ya :)

        I totally get it on fashion passing you by, but don’t worry, it always comes back around. Kids today are wearing the same stuff we wore when I was in high school

          IIRC, they recommended G-Star, which have a good 98% cotton material and have inseams up to 34".

          Unfortunately, I ended up having a hard time finding my specific size in stock, and then months later I got lucky and found another used pair of Nudie skinny jeans. So I can’t personally vouch for their quality, but they seem really nice.

        I think there is something of a meta about what variations to buy and which cuts aren’t very good. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about it, but I suggest googling it.

    Counterintuitive, but do they make skinny jeans without elastane? I’ve seen people complain about elastane blends greatly reducing the longevity of the pants

    Prana jeans might fit the bill. Their Carlsbad straight leg is pretty good. You’d have to check the sizes. I’ve had some jeans for 8+ years from them.
