Measuring your inseam—the distance from the crotch to the bottom of your leg—is essential for well-fitting pants, shorts, joggers, or anything with a hem. It ensures you avoid leg bunching, awkward lengths, or unflattering fits. Follow this clear guide:
1. Why the Inseam Matters
-
Comfort & Movement: Too short, and you’ll feel limited. Too long, and fabric drags or these may feel sloppy.
-
Style & Proportion: A well‑cut inseam enhances your silhouette, whether you're wearing tailored trousers or denim.
-
Brand Inconsistency: “Medium” or “size 32” doesn’t mean the same across Zara, ASOS tall, or Massimo Dutti. That’s why precise measurement matters.
2. Prepare to Measure
-
Find a soft, flexible tape—order a free printable one from Tellar.co.uk or request their physical tape

Wear form‑fitting clothes to get an accurate read.
-
Use a full‑length mirror, or ask someone to help.
3. The Step‑by‑Step Inseam Measurement
-
Stand naturally, feet hip‑width apart.
-
Place the tape at the top of your inner thigh, where fabric seams meet inside your crotch.
-
Run the tape down your inner leg to the point you want your trousers to stop—typically the bottom of your ankle bone.
-
Keep the tape taut but not tight, following the contour of your leg.
-
Record the measurement in both cm and inches, so you have universal reference.
4. Double‑Check Accuracy
-
Sit down and see if fabric still falls right—knees should have a little breathing room, not ride‑up.
-
Compare your measurement to another pair of well‑fitting trousers you already own.
5. Use Your Inseam and Let the Tech Do the Rest
With your accurate body measurements in hand (inseam, waist, hips, chest), use the Tellar.co.uk sizing tool:
-
