Petite and tall: checking pants length

4 min read · Scrubberry

Length matters as much as width. The inseam is the number to check.

Here is a quick way to do it.

Find your inseam

Measure from the crotch to where you want the hem to end. Use a pair of pants that fit well as a guide.

Write the number down in inches.

Compare with ours

The Jogger Scrub Pants have a cuffed ankle and list an inseam of about 28 in in size M. Lay a tape along your own best-fitting pants and compare.

The Classic V-Neck Scrub Set has straight pants.

Pick the right style

A cuff gives a little room to adjust. A straight leg hangs longer.

If you are taller, consider the longer inseam. If petite, the jogger is a good start.

Plan for the hem

If you are petite and want a shorter inseam, look for a cuffed ankle, since it can be worn at a natural length. If you are tall, check the inseam against your own number. Hemming is also an option with a local tailor. Whatever you choose, write down your inseam and keep it in your phone, so you can compare it with the length on any page before you order. Because all sales are final and sizes are not exchanged, a minute with the tape now saves trouble later.
