How do YOU achieve the perfect length for your jeans? Do you use any of the methods I pointed out in this vid? LMK 👇🏼

[@EffortlessGentTV]

haha, appreciate that, thanks for watching

[@RamandeepSingh-ml6kj]

Am 5 5 n its incredibly hard to find jeans of my length

[@gtoneable]

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. 😒

[@willsgaming1481]

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.

[@vladimirgoncharenko7545]

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.

[@robc15]

I appreciate your videos, Barron - keep up the great work!

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Thanks for watching Robert!

[@gm836]

5’11 and 34 inch inseam. I’m all legs. It’s kinda hard finding low rise jeans.

[@iganpparamarta8813]

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.N.L]

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

[@brettbell6261]

Because inseam length varies on 10 guys who are all at a 5’ 9”. Not all legs are the same length x width

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

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

[@TimmyThomasIsAWESOME]

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

[@toddalbert8342]

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.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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

[@henz993]

You are absolutely right about the break that depends on the type of shoes.

[@Razzzordback]

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

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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.

[@daulatgogoi2974]

Why so less followers This channel is just amazing 💕😍

[@EffortlessGentTV]

appreciate that!

[@beyuwallace]

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.

[@luwmen3284]

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?

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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

[@SaSpursFan]

that polo is fire!

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Thanks man!

[@user-kv7ih9cx9t]

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

[@dash1dash2]

No break jeans look bad when you sit, they rise up so much and you end up showing your ankles to everybody.

[@js8430]

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

[@josh.webber]

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.

[@EVsSuck777]

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.

[@psychoheadfix1958]

Someone should start a company for us 5'5 guys.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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 kzbin.info/door/lbfoD1o7sV0VxErpxTCpyw and website: themodestman.com for more resources

[@jcosta223]

@@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.

[@foulplay99]

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!

[@Babybacktillery]

I'm 5'6 my jeans have a little stacking with the 30lenght

[@JackBusiness89]

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 😭😭😭😭

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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.

[@brettbell6261]

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

[@vladimirgoncharenko7545]

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.

[@tyskioo]

I’m 5’11 - 6’1 how long should I get my jeans

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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

[@tyskioo]

@@EffortlessGentTV Thank you

[@voidremoved]

@@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

[@willsgaming1481]

@@EffortlessGentTV probably 30-34 inseam for someone that height range

[@vladimirgoncharenko7545]

[@DanielGennaro]

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.

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.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

this comment makes no sense and isn't helpful to anyone trying to figure out how long their jeans should be. so, no.

[@searchrankoptimize]

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!

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.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

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 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@searchrankoptimize]

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?
