I read a very confident review from a fellow 5’8” person recommending a longer length for taller people (as if all tall people have the same proportions), so I ordered the 36” based on that review. BIG mistake. These pants are not about your total height, they are about the unique length of your own inseam. I have a long torso, and shorter legs with an hourglass figure, and so I returned the 36” and got a 32”. They fit super cute now. They sit on my hips, and look good with a 2”-3” bootie or heel. So, if you are tall with long legs and a short torso, it will be a very different story than if you’re tall with shorter legs and a longer torso. Don’t listen to these reviews telling you what length to order based on your overall height—measure your OWN inseam and you can save yourself having to return/exchange. Once you get the pants that work for you, they are great quality and super comfy.
