Being a tall fashionista is difficult enough. Being a tall, pregnant fashionista is excruciating! I have spent hours scouring the internet to find tall maternity pants and jeans (i.e. longer than 33 or 34 inch inseam) and have mostly come up empty. Enter….the
J Brand Lovestory tall maternity jeans. I am totally in love with these jeans. If you’re tall and expecting, it doesn’t get much better than this. These jeans are amazing.
First the height aspect–I am 6 feet tall and I can comfortably wear these jeans with 2 to 4 inch heels. Unlike the other “longs” I have found that still look too short with flats, these tall maternity jeans have a 36 inch inseam. And even better, they have an amazing 2 inch hem so that when I wear flats I can cuff them right where the hem begins. That way I avoid getting that ratty look on the back hem and hopefully make them last through every pregnancy. Or if you are taller than me (a blessing and a curse) you can take the hem out and get an extra couple of inches out of them.
Second the style aspect that I try so hard not to forsake just because I am tall (and now, just because I am pregnant). These look just as hot as your non maternity jeans. I personally am partial to low rise flared jeans and these are just that. They have elastic insets so that they stretch with you so there’s no panel that puts pressure just where you don’t want it. I’ve realized in buying maternity shorts and skirts that the panels aren’t made for tall women with long torsos so it doesn’t come up high enough and hits you mid belly which is not the most pleasant feeling. For that reason the ‘real waist’ version is just right. Another point worth mentioning is that I bought these when I was still at the not-at-all-showing-but-feeling-bloated stage. Now I am about halfway through my pregnancy and definitely showing. Through both stages they fit like a glove. And because they are low rise and sit under the belly, I imagine they will fit right up until the end.
Lastly, I know the price tag in this economy (or any economy) is kind of high. Prime example– I got laid off right after purchasing them and still refused to return them; that is how much I love them! Keep in mind that most likely you won’t find other pants or jeans that fit so this probably will be your one and only pair (that’s how I rationalize anyway). Also, because they are high quality you will be able to wear them through any subsequent pregnancies. And last but not least (not to be a Debbie Downer) but throughout your pregnancy you’ll have times when you feel like crap. You might as well look amazing if you can’t feel amazing right?! Call me shallow but looking better certainly boosts my spirits and helps me to feel better. And I’m guessing it will work for you also. Click the link here and purchase immediately! I promise you won’t regret it.
