Quick answer
Your inseam, the length from crotch to ankle, is about 45% of your height for men and 44% for women. Jeans lengths such as 30, 32 and 34 are the inseam in inches. A man who is 5'9" (175 cm) usually needs a 31–32 inch length.
How to measure
- Measure your height without shoes.
- For the most accurate result, measure a pair of jeans that fits from crotch seam to hem.
- Choose shorter for cropped or tapered fits and longer if you wear heels or boots.
