The inseam is the length of your leg, from the centre of the crotch to the bottom of the ankle bone. If you get the wrong inseam, the pants will be the wrong length. You should have someone else measure you or measure from a pair of pants that are a good length for you

i am 5'4" tall and wear longer pants than my dad who is two inches taller than I am. take one of your current favorite pairs of pants, measure the length of the inside of the seam that runs from the crotch down to the ankle. That measurement is your inseam. I usually buy 29 to 29 1/2 depending on what shoes I am buying. I would probably say the 30 would be best for you..but only your current pants can really tell you that. 32 & 34 are for people much taller and have much longer legs. Petite is considered 28 1/2"

Measure the inseam of a pant that you already own that you like the inseam of. MOST pants if you buy them off the rack are a 32 inseam if that helps.

Well, first grab yourself a measuring tape. I'm short so I have to be constantly aware of inseam because everything out there is for tall people. Measure from your crotch where all the seams meet and down your leg to where you would like the pants to fall, taking into considerationyour socks, shoes, etc.

Inseams are the measurements of how long the pant leg is. Usually there are three, the shortest being for shorter people, the medium for average height, and the longest for taller people.

First you need a tape measure...measure from crotch to how long you would like your pants to be, usually to top of your shoe. You can't get an accurate measurement if you do this on yourself. If your not comfortable with this please measure a pair of pants that fit you well.
