Hello! I am 5'10" and mostly legs! I generally try to purchase pants with an inseam around 36". I am having a tough time finding a nice pair of black pants that are fitted bootcut or skinny! Any suggestions?! Thanks and happy Wednesday!

    Been a while since I had to invest, but Express used to carry some nice black pants for the longer-limbed. I'm 5'11".

    I'm more of a dress/skirt girl because of this very issue, but the two pairs of dress pants I have are from Gap and New York & Co. Banana Republic used to carry longer inseams, not sure if they still do or not - their pants have never fit me right so I gave up even looking at them.

    I usually go with Eddie Bauer or the BKE brand from The Buckle for jeans.

    Have you tried Talbots? There's run pretty long. I've been buying petites even though I'm 5'6". The regular size is so long, almost past my toes on me!

    6' here. Have you tried going to the Gap? They have a style called Long and Lean. They're not skinny jeans. My pair go past my ankles I love them.

    JCPenney has longs in their catalog or online, and they specify the length.

    I just bought a pair of black jeans that way.

    I feel your pain!!

    Oh, Old Navy has Longs, too.

    Check Christopher & Banks. They have a few different 'fits' and their pants have always been long enough for me (in fact I wind up walking on them if I'm not wearing shoes. I'm 5' 10" as well.

    I have had issue with Old Navy and their supposedly "long" jeans. 34 in. inseam to me does not constitute long. American Eagle has longs and ex-longs, which I love. Their ex-longs are a generous 36 in. inseam . At 6'3" these are about the only pants that are long enough for me:laugh:

    Thanks for the tip - I will have to check them out.

    I'm 5'11" and I buy my work pants (tall/long) from Ny and Co. They have lasted me for more than 3 years! Good luck!
