How to Find Cheap Jeans for Tall Women

Finding cheap jeans for tall women can be fun.

Tall women with long inseams often have trouble finding jeans that fit. Many stores carry jeans labeled "tall," but the inseams don't always work for every long-legged women. In addition, stores often charge more for tall jeans, saying the higher price tag is needed because of extra material. But tall women looking for cheap jeans have several options outside of traditional clothing stores.

Instructions

1. Call local consignment shops and ask if they carry tall sizes -- some specialize in designer clothes or hard-to-find sizes. Find listings in the phone book or on the Internet. If you discover a store that specializes in tall sizes, check back regularly for used jeans in your size.

2. Check Internet-based retailers. Several websites specialize in tall women's clothes. While the prices on these sites are typically high, you can sign up for mailing lists that inform you of sales, special promotions and free shipping opportunities.

3. Shop clothing chain stores in your area. While they might not carry your inseam, they may be able to order longer sizes and have them shipped free of charge. Combining this tactic with coupons or in-store sales can save you money on jeans.

4. Try men's jeans, which are sized differently and offer more variety in inseams. Look for styles cut similarly to women's jeans, such as boot or slim cut, and try on a pair with the correct inseam. Depending on the fit and the style, it may not look like you're wearing men's jeans. If you find a brand and style you like, you can buy them without any additional hassle -- and use coupons or in-store sales to make them more affordable.

5. Check auction sites like eBay, along with localized Internet sites like craigslist to find cheap jeans. If you find someone selling clothing with your inseam, ask if they have any additional items for sale or if there are things they may be cleaning out of their closet in the near future.
