Can you direct me to a brand of clothing that makes extra long pants? I have a couple of pairs, but they are too short so I always end up wearing capris when I'd prefer pants.

    I get my jeans at Buckle. They make extra longs and I absolutely love them! They are the only jeans I buy anymore. I used to get longs from places like aeropostle but they always shrunk up eventually. I've had my 1st pair from Buckle for 2-3 years and they still fit great and are long! For dressy pants I get mine at Gap, but I think they just make longs but they work for me since I don't wear them too often.

    Thanks - I will look into them when I need to get jeans. My OP was meant to be about workout pants. I guess I forgot to mention that!

    Haha oh well. Honestly I typically wear athletic shorts or yoga capris to workout in. Partially bc I get really hot sometimes and partially bc I have freaking long legs that make it hard to find good long pants in that style. I've seen some nice ones at Target but haven't tried them yet.

    Ditto on the Buckle. I wish I had discovered their jeans years earlier!

    They're a little pricey but lululemon is fantastic! They have 'tall' lengths in their bottoms and if you can find a pair on sale it is so worth it. They are comfortable and hold up very well.

    Athleta makes short sizes (5'1 here! haha!) and I am about 99.9% sure they offer long lengths as well. It's probably not as good as lululemon (a good deal cheaper, too) but I love Athleta and have been very impressed with how my stuff has held up. They also have awesome sales and are associated with Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic so returns are simple and shipping is free on orders over $50.

     I don't normally wear pants to workout in but I do have some yoga pants that I wear around the house and they are SUPER long on me, and they are from VS.

    I'm 5'10" and I typically get my workout pants at Old Navy.  They're always long enough for me.

    Long Elegant Legs and Long Tall Sally if you're looking for some super length (36"+ inseam). Pricey though.

    Target actually carries some of their work out yoga type pants in tall. I was a little skeptical at first but they didn't shrink when I washed them!

    I prefer UA for running/hiking/climbing and LuluLemon for pilates and yoga.

    I've always bought men's shorts and pants for working out, and most of my stuff is from Adidas because I had a friend who worked there and could give discounts.  I've never had a problem with length that way, but if you like the tighter fitting pants for working out that won't work.
