How long should your jeans be?
Should you go for a full break? A half break? Wait... what exactly does "break" mean?
Should you roll your jeans? Get them hemmed to the perfect length?
If you've ever wondered how long your jeans should be, well, I answer that VERY question for you in today's video.
We'll go over the perfect jeans length for men (yep! there's literally one length and style you should strive for, especially if you're going for a smart sharp casual style) and how to achieve the perfect length, not just in your jeans, but really, with all your pants.

How do YOU achieve the perfect length for your jeans? Do you use any of the methods I pointed out in this vid? LMK 👇🏼
haha, appreciate that, thanks for watching
Am 5 5 n its incredibly hard to find jeans of my length
I appreciate your videos, Barron - keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching Robert!
break depends on what outfit you want to go for that day and how you are going to carry that type of style it can look soo cool or really tacky not much in between but you're definitely right about no break when dressing sharp, it needs to be just right. to me though, dressing smart everywhere would get boring, need to let loose the creativity and uniqueness sometimes not like harajuku street fashion tho that's a bit too much for me =D
Why so less followers
This channel is just amazing 💕😍
appreciate that!
The Break for me depends on the shoes I select for that outfit. That bounces from a slight break (lace-ups) to no break (boots/loafers). I hem my jeans to achieve the look I desire so I break the natural rule to achieve fit.
that's the thing w/ cuffing too, like sometimes a no-break with a sneak is a half break with a chelsea. So I like to cuff as necessary to always have that no-break situation
You are absolutely right about the break that depends on the type of shoes.
Pants length is an infuriating issues for me haha as a 5’8 guy 30” inseam is perfect but most pants sold here is 32”. It just doesn’t make any sense as men here stand 5’6-5’8 (numbers are pure from my own observation) and 32 is the norm while it is just too long. The only jeans that fits me is Levi’s 502, it’s a match sent from heaven for me.
I’m 5’9 and 30s run all the way to my toes, and I have to roll them up so they don’t cover my shoes or stack 3 times on my shoes
Because inseam length varies on 10 guys who are all at a 5’ 9”. Not all legs are the same length x width
5’11 and 34 inch inseam. I’m all legs. It’s kinda hard finding low rise jeans.
True about the pants style over the decades. ;) Back in the day, where I'm from, if you wore any jeans short than a half a break, we called them highwaters and got laughed at. 😒
that polo is fire!
Thanks man!
Im 5'7 (172cm) and usually wear jeans with 29" inseam in jeans(i must hemmed them because 30 " is a little too much)give me half break and its my choice because give me flexibility to go cuff for slight or no break look. My advice is when you tailored jeans dont only look at you inseam lenht but overall jeans lenght, Different rises can vary about inseam you want
Hmm, but when you measure from the inseam, it goes from crotch seam to cuff, so overall rise doesn't affect the inseam length. If you measure overall jeans length (from waistband to cuff) then yes, this can change.
I am 6’3” I wear 32L and it gives me quarter to half break. You don’t talk about when you actually sit, jeans with no break makes you look like you just have very long shorts 😅, not pants. However for dress pants it has to be 34L.
I’m 5’9.5 and getting pants sucks. Especially trying to get ripped pants. The holes are never where my knees are. They are always too low
Is it ok to wear full break on jeans? I am 5 foot 9 and when i wear 32 inseam jeans, I get full break but I kind of like it that way. Just a ordinary kid in high school. But when i wear pants that aren't jeans when I wear 32 inseam pants sort of like trousers but not really, I get half break. If I wear skinny jeans i get Mid break at 32 inseam, I am growing too i'm only 16 and 7 month late bloomer, I do have longer than average legs for my height and if I cuffed my jeans 2 inches I would probably have no break or slight break.
Last year when i was around 5 foot 5, 30 inseam was long like it was almost at ground when i wore shoes but now they are at top of my shoe or slightly higher.
Someone should start a company for us 5'5 guys.
there are plenty of clothing companies focused on shorter statures nowadays: Peter Manning, Ash and Erie, under 5'10", etc. Check out my buddy Brock's channel czcams.com/channels/lbfoD1o7sV0VxErpxTCpyw.html and website: themodestman.com for more resources
@@EffortlessGentTV bought a bunch of stuff from Peter Manning and I'm estatic with having tops and bottoms that actually fit! I'm 5'4" and the 26" inseam was my perfect no break length.
But the things of long jeans they look kind of normal with high top sneakers but ones you don't got sneakers on you have to walk around with the jeans bottom folded so you don't be stepping on them
I'm 5ft 5 and nothing fits me well. Going to the tailors for the first time today after me and the wife can agree what break looks good and what looks like I just shrunk my jeans!
I'm 5'6 my jeans have a little stacking with the 30lenght
I’m 6’5. 34” inseam seems fine without shoes but slightly too short with shoes on. So I usually have to get 36” for this reason but sometimes they look a little long. Wish I could consistently find 35” inseam
Right there with ya man. Same height, same problem. Usually a 36” fits perfect, but sometimes they are a bit longer. It could be the exact same style and company, but one is just longer. I’ve worn a 34” a couple times now. It’s fine with shoes on but def wish they were a tad longer without shoes. Maybe I just need to get used to this high-water look. Kids used to get made fun of in middle school for this look where I’m from, lol.
Same. I’m 6’2 with a 32” inseam, I think my torso is longer than my legs.. anyway, I buy 32” length and after a wash/dry cycle I feel like they’re too short and it creates a bell-bottom look so I wish there was a 33” length jean size. I just ordered some 34” length jeans so let’s see how it goes. I think as long as I don’t wear Converse shoes(which I don’t) I should be fine.
Great timely video Barron. I’m in the process of taking some things to the tailor. Wasn’t aware that no break was the best look for denim. Even if your jeans aren’t as tapered at the bottom, should you still go for no break?
A few of my jeans are straight leg with only a slight taper. I still go for no break. Ideally your jeans *do* have a taper bc that will look best
No break jeans look bad when you sit, they rise up so much and you end up showing your ankles to everybody.
Just had my pants hemmed. But I think they are too short. Apparently it’s stylish. Can I take it back and have them add fabric for a slight break? Nordstrom’s did it with Paige jeans.
I’m so frustrated anymore. Never had this problem much. Now at 35 years old, I’m 5’8ish… some 30 length feels sooo short and 32 is dragging. Most 32” length are long. I’ve even measured my AE jeans comparing 30 to 32 and it was a 3.5” difference in length.
5'8 and 30" feels short??? I'm 5'9.5 and 28" is border line.
@@jincs151 borderline to what?
@@DanielGennaro borderline = too long
Sir,you are wayyyyy to under rated😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟
haha appreciate that, thanks for watching
I can't afford a tailor. Great breakdown though. My problem is I'm 6'3 but kind of skinny. 170 lbs. So I can NEVER find my size which is 30W/34L all I ever see is 30/32 or 32/34 and I'm sick of wearing belts. I just bought like 7 pairs of jeans. But they're 30/32. Levi's Slim fit with the stretchy waist which I need because I've been trying to put on weight. Crazy deals at Walmart yeah Walmart but ya know what I got two pairs at 7 bucks each (clearance) they're actually 28/30 which is way too small for me but I couldn't resist the sale. And another two that sort of fit which are 30/32 but I paid 15 bucks each and the rest were 20 bucks. These same exact jeans go for 40+ in other stores. I'm just saying. But yeah I can never find 30/34 😭😭😭😭
Yeah, that can be tough. My suggestion would be Levi's and Bonobos. They seem to have the most waist x length combos. They can be much more than $40 though. If it were me, I'd save up for 1-2 great pairs of pants, instead of buying 10 pairs of cheap pants that all suck.
I second this and I believe Revtown jeans have 34 length. Less then $100. And it’s from the makers of under armor. Check it out. If I don’t buy from them I get American eagle, AG
You are 6’3”…pretty sure 34L is more than full break and you probably wear the seams out without shoes? I am 6’3” and 32L works out perfectly.
I’m 5’11 - 6’1 how long should I get my jeans
depends on your inseam length! some people have long torsos and short legs, others have short torsos and long legs. I'm guessing the avg for your height is around a 32" inseam, but you have to try a few pairs at diff lengths to see what works best
@@EffortlessGentTV Thank you
@@tyskioo 32 works good for me. If you want to show sock when you sit down, try 30. I think 34 could be far too long. 32 will touch the ground if i let my pants sag and will be above my heel if i hoist my drawers way up
@@EffortlessGentTV probably 30-34 inseam for someone that height range
30L is your perfect fit, golden middle ground. 32L will be too long, I am 6’3” and wear 32L.
Nice
thanks for checking it out!
3:03 🤣🤣🤣 they actually have 5L inseam and 7L inseam thats funny
How are you 5,9 and 30 inch inseam,? I’m 5,8 with a 31
Everyone’s got different proportions bro! Did you know Michael Phelps is 6’4” and has a 30” inseam? 🤯
@@EffortlessGentTV insane bro, great video! Keep it up
I’m 5’9 and 30s bunch up on top of my Jordan 12s 😭 if I take my shoes off they just reach the bottom of my heel
@@I.M.N.L I have same height but i my jeans is 29 inseam. In some shoes they are bunch of top , in another the only do one nice fold. But they have flexibility(i always can cuff them to the desire lenght for different shoe) . I make mistake and couple of my jeans hemmed to no brake or slight brake and dont fit good with some shoes and i cant do anything.
3/4 of the video was promoting for your sponsor
Don’t want to show no sock, unless I’m taking a walk.
To each his own 😉
You got that right. You asked what our preferences were. This is just my horse-crap opinion and preference, for me. All of this is fashion and style stuff is opinion/personal taste. If we dressed simply for protection from weather and public decency, we’d all look like Chairman Mao!
@@johnsinclair7733 haha not horse crap at all! lol to Chairman Mao reference 🤣
jeans look better cuffed i swear
agree
proper length for your jeans is any length you feel like, just ignore all the consumption driven, trending bs and help make the world a better place.
this comment makes no sense and isn't helpful to anyone trying to figure out how long their jeans should be. so, no.
What is being attempted to say here is. These fashion trends make us churn out more stuff. Why can't we rather wear what we normally wear? Humans need to reduce consumption. This whole no break look is a new trend 12 years ago, one could pick any jeans. If lenght was "excess", even better! Let it gather near the ankle and it looked super cool
Now all of the Gen X guys have to adapt to this new trend and either modify or discard their old clothes!
The planet needs to be saved!
@@searchrankoptimizewow that's deep 😬
@@searchrankoptimizelol so out of touch with what looks good. No thanks. Also, buying jeans is not going to save or break the planet - get a grip. All you kids think using paper straws will save us all. If you've actually been in the real world you'll see companies that run their faucets all day long every day. You aren't doing crap to save anything against that.
@@philmcclenaghan7056 how are we kids? We are the Millenials and the ones before Millenials too! Some of us have ourselves worn or seen or dads wear bell bottom pants! Lol...
I prefer my jeans baggier
I am sorry dude, but most people claiming to be 5´9 - 5´10 are in fact 2-3 inches shorter than they say they are.
28 inches for 5´9 seems more like that you are around 5´7 the way the jeans fit.
I'm actually 5'4" -- jkjk! Well 28" if I want NO break and NO cuff, like I mentioned. 30" inseam works great if I don't mind cuffing my jeans for the no break look. And most of the time I just buy 30" and it's all good. I'm between 5'8" and 5'9", every time I get measured I never get a consistent result 🤷🏽♂️
Not liking the skinny feminine trend
These news trends are really intriguing! Now some of us must "churn" our wardrobe cabinets! These fashion trends make us churn out more stuff. Why can't we rather wear what we normally wear? Humans need to reduce consumption. This whole no break look is a new trend 12 years ago, one could pick any jeans. If lenght was "excess", even better! Let it gather near the ankle and it looked super cool
Now all of the Gen X guys have to adapt to this new trend and either modify or discard their old clothes!
The planet needs to be saved! If we continue with our wayward ways, we will soon run out of resources!
Scro you gonna save the world? I doubt most ppl are throwing clothes out at least it can go to the thrift store and someone else will wear it. If you want to troll fashion shows why not find ppl who wear polyester and complain that their plastic clothes strangles baby seals in the ocean
A long add😬
I'm 174cm and have given up. Everything needs tailored/altered or bought bespoke. Cuffing looks stupid.
I'm considered a midget and not worth a manufacturer's time.
Is this an info video or a fucking infomercial.
FFS.
Your whiskers are distracting
hahaa damn those whiskerz. welp, thanks for watching anyway
