Shorty

What exactly is leg length?  Who knows!  On a recent trawl around the shops, on the seemingly impossible task of finding a pair of trousers that fitted, I was left confused and a little dazed at how greatly the sizes differed.  I tried on a number of different 30” leg length trousers and jeans only to find that whilst some were the perfect length others were dragging along the changing room floor.  Now to be fair, some shops do not even enter the realm of shorter (or longer) sizes, cough Zara cough.  So to have the different lengths offered at all is a luxury, but why does it seem such a challenge to get a good fitting pair of trousers?  And yes we can get them altered, but for most of us it’s just too much expense and hassle.

It is for these reasons that I was pleasantly surprised whilst in Zara recently, to find a pair of jeans that didn’t look supermodel length.  

I hurried to the changing room and as I had hoped, they were a perfect length and fitted well.  My faith in Zara was restored, that is until, I re-examined my purchases on my way home, only to discover that my perfect jeans turned out to be ‘cropped pants’!  Oh well, let’s just keep it between ourselves :)
