Heights are a typical guide. Your own inseam matters most, so go by it if your legs run longer or shorter: measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". How to measure
True to size with medium stretch. Most women wear their usual department store size.
Two quick questions and we'll pick your length and size. You can still change either one.
Crossed out means sold out in that length. Tap it to get an alert when it is back.
Between sizes? Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too; they will be a bit more fitted.
Rise is 10 3/4" in size 3 and 13" in size 18W.
How to measure your inseam
One minute and a tape measure. This number matters more than your height.
- Stand straight, barefoot, feet slightly apart.
- Hold the tape at your crotch and run it down the inside of your leg.
- Stop at your ankle bone. That number is your inseam.
- Lay them flat and smooth out the legs.
- Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg.
- Stop at the hem.
Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". Many women like a little extra length, especially with shoes.

Full product details: rise, fabric and care
Storm is the pair you reach for when you want something different, but still easy to wear.
The gray wash gives it an edge. The seams give it structure. The fit keeps it flattering.
These are high-rise wide leg jeans with built-in tummy control, designed to smooth through the waist and create long, clean lines through the leg. The gray wash with subtle fading adds depth without feeling harsh, while front and back seam details bring in that tailored, elongating effect.
Feels like: Structured stretch denim with supportive hold.
Looks like: A modern gray wide leg that instantly elevates your everyday outfits.
Why You’ll Love It
- High-Rise Support: Sits above the natural waist for a secure, smoothing fit that feels held in without feeling restrictive.
- Built-In Hip-to-Hip Tummy Control: A shaping panel supports the midsection and creates a cleaner, more flattering front.
- Front and Back Seam Detail: Vertical seams add structure and create elongating lines that visually lengthen the leg.
- Structured Wide Leg Fit: Room through the hips and thighs with a controlled drape that keeps the silhouette polished.
- Gray Wash with Fading: A soft gray wash with subtle fading adds dimension and gives this pair a more modern, elevated feel.
- Subtle Distressing: Light distressing at the hem and pocket edges adds character without taking away from the clean finish.
- Premium Stretch Denim: Designed to move with you while maintaining structure throughout the day.

Three Inseam Options: Because length changes everything with a wide leg. Short: 29", Regular: 32", and Long: 35". Choose the inseam that works for your height and how you actually wear your denim.
Designed for Real Life
Workdays. Travel. Plans that come together last minute.
Storm gives you a darker, more directional option that still feels easy to style with what you already own.
Fit & Fabric
Fit note: True to size with medium stretch. Most customers find this matches their usual department store jeans size. For example, if you are typically a waist size 26 in Levi's, you should get a waist size 26 in The Storm.
Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer to size up one size from their usual boutique size. If you wear a size 5 in Judy Blue, you will wear a size 7 in The Storm.
For full measurements, please refer to the size chart.

Size 3: 10.75"
Size 18W: 13"
Inseam: Short 29", Regular 32", Long 35"
Fabric: 94% Cotton, 4% Polyester, 2% Spandex

The Why Behind the Design
Not every wide leg needs to feel soft or casual.
Storm was designed to bring in a little more structure, a little more edge, and a wash that feels different from traditional blue denim.
Because sometimes the easiest way to change your outfit is to change the tone of your denim.

Questions women ask us
Straight answers from our fit team.
Will the Storm gap in the back?
No. The Storm is fitted through the waist so it does not gap at the back.
Do the Storm jeans have tummy control?
Yes. A built in hip to hip panel smooths and supports your midsection without squeezing.
Are the Storm jeans true to size?
Yes. They are true to size with medium stretch, so most women wear their usual department store size. If you wear a 26 in Levi's, choose a 26 in the Storm. If you wear a 5 in Judy Blue, choose a 7 in the Storm.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too. They will be a bit more fitted.
Is the Storm stretchy or structured?
Both. It is more structured than our softest styles, so it holds your shape, with enough stretch to stay comfortable all day.
What is the rise of the Storm?
The rise is 10 3/4" in size 3 and 13" in size 18W.
Which inseam should I choose for my height?
The Short 29" typically fits 5'4" and under, the Regular 32" typically fits 5'5" to 5'8", and the Long 35" typically fits 5'9" and up. Your own inseam matters most, so measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura, our founder, is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam. She wears the Storm in a size 1, Short 29".
Will I need to hem the Storm?
Everyone is built a little differently, so measure first. Your inseam runs from your crotch to your ankle bone, and many women like a length a little longer than their measurement, especially with shoes.
Are the Storm jeans good for petite and tall women?
Yes. The Storm comes in three inseams: Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35". Petite women can choose the Short and tall women can choose the Long.
What sizes does the Storm come in?
Sizes 00 to 15 and curvy sizes 14W to 24W, each in Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35".
What is the Storm made of?
94% cotton, 4% polyester and 2% spandex. Structured stretch denim that holds its shape. Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low.

How do returns and exchanges work?

Exchanges are free with re:do Returns + Package Protection from checkout. Without it, it's $9.97 to send your pair back and get your new size.

The Storm jeans have made their way into my weekly Jean rotation. They quickly became a favorite. Ava Lane sent me these jeans to try and I love them. I hate jeans that are going to leave me a sagging mess by lunch. These have stretch but with structure. Tummy control helps after Friday night at the Mexican restaurant. Stretch is a must in my jeans and I love the multiple inseam options. I go for a 32” in flats and tennis shoes but I can choose a longer inseam if I’m planning to wear with platforms/heels.
Lensi, thank you! 💕 We love having you in the ALB family, and seeing Storm make it into your weekly rotation honestly made our day. You nailed what we wanted these to be: stretch that keeps its shape all day, plus an inseam for every shoe. We're so glad you love them, and we're so grateful for you!
Becca 💕
I love these jeans, the style is so flattering. The perfect length. I'm almost 6 feet!
These are so good! By far the most comfortable jeans I own. Soft, flexible, waist line is comfortable. The length is great. I’m 5’9” and got the tall inseam. The color is perfect too for fall and winter. Will definitely be buying more!
Hi Jessica! We're thrilled to hear you're loving the jeans and find them so comfortable. Thank you for sharing your experience—hope you enjoy many more pairs from Ava Lane Boutique!
I am 5’11 and got the long- great length for tall girls. Please make these in white!
Hi Tiffanie! We're so happy the long length works well for you. We'll pass along your suggestion for white options to our team. Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Great fit! Feel so soft and privide just the right amount of tummy control without feeling restricting.
We’re so glad you’re loving the fit! That soft feel with just the right amount of tummy control is such a winning combination. We love that they give you the support you want without feeling restrictive. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
