Default When did w/o pants suddenly become so LONG?

I don't get it. I'm kind of short (about 5'3") & until recently I never had problems finding pants that fit my height. Now it seems like they all come w/at least a 33" inseam & I end up spending another $10 to get them hemmed. And good w/o pants aren't cheap in the first place. This is so annoying. I feel like it's height discrimination!

That's funny cause this morning I was wearing workout pants and was irritated that they're too short! I look like such a geek wearing these pants - looks like I'm wearing floods.

But I'm 5'7", so maybe that's why they're too long on you and too short on me.

Laura, I have noticed this, too. I am sorry for you, but I have the opposite problem (I am 5'7") and am very happy about any additional length in pants (and tops) of any kind.

I am 5 ft 10 and my workout pants are always too short. LauraMax, what brand is too long for you?

Save yourself the $ 10 for hemming and buy some permanent double sided tape from the sewing department and make the pants shorter yourself.

I'm 5'7" and all leg. My entire life pants have been too short. To make it worse I have a really short rise so the waistband on tall pants come up to my bra. I have tried everything to lengthen pants and they always look stupid. Thank goodness pants are finally long enough for me to wear and not look like I have them rolled up walking along the surf at the beach.

Sorry Laura, I cannot feel your pain...I am like many other posters here who generally have a problem finding pants long enough. I am 5'9". I have a great pair of nice Adidas workout pants that my husband got me years ago that I don't wear very much because they are too short...but I just can't let them go because my husband got them for me and they were very expensive!

That being said....I don't like to workout in long pants anyway...unless I am going out in public and it's cold... When I am at home and doing Cathe...I have short shorts...I am just more comfortable...and that way I can see my leg muscles or lack thereof and either be motivated to work harder or encouraged by my hard work!

All of them! I'm really loving Hard Tail these days but they're 33" inseam. Even KOS USA, which used to be the perfect length, now comes w/33" inseam. I hate getting new w/o clothes & then having to wait another week to get them hemmed. What is this permanent double sided tape of which you speak, & where can I find it? There's a Calico Corner right next to my gym (yes, I know, they really do still exist LOL). I wonder if I can find it there?

I am so jealous of all you tall girls. You make me feel like a little troll. Somehow Cathe pulls it off but I just look dumpy & frumpy at my height. That said, maybe the pants are now made so much longer b/c of you guys. You can always shorten pants, but I guess lengthening them is close to impossible.

Ditto! I'm also 5'0 and can wear capri-length but have yet to find any petite-long pants that fit! Cathe- you are petite about 5'2 if I recall correctly. Do you have your long workout pants hemmed or are they off the shelf from.... is it feelfitwear?

Thanks!
Pam
