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
Most women size down one from their usual department store size, thanks to medium stretch.
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. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too; they will be a bit more fitted.
Rise is 11" in size 3 and 13 1/8" 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
There’s something about charcoal denim.
Softer than black. Sharper than blue. Easier than you expect.
The Tara was designed for that in-between space.
These are women’s high-rise wide leg jeans in a charcoal wash with built-in tummy control and three inseam lengths. Structured through the waist. Relaxed through the hips and thighs. Clean, non-distressed, and intentionally modern.
Wide leg denim. Elevated by color alone.
Feels like: Supportive stretch that moves with you.
Looks like: A polished charcoal wide leg you can dress up or down without thinking twice.
Why You’ll Love It
- High Rise That Holds You: Designed to sit at your natural waist for a secure, smoothing fit that stays put. No adjusting. No sliding.
- Signature Hip to Hip Tummy Control: A built-in shaping panel creates a smooth front and steady midsection support. Structured, not stiff.
- Relaxed Wide Leg Balance: Room through the hips and thighs with a full-length leg that falls straight and clean. Balanced. Not bulky.
- Charcoal Wash with Subtle Edge: Deep grey with natural fading through the thighs. Light distressing along the pocket edges and hem for dimension without distraction.
- Clean Back Design: Classic pocket placement and curved yoke for a flattering shape from behind. No excess. No fuss.
- Three Inseam Options: Height-friendly fit should not be a luxury. Short 29", Regular 32", Long 35 inches. Choose the length that works for your height and your shoes.
Designed for Real Life
Workdays. Travel. Casual dinners. Coffee runs.
These high-rise charcoal wide leg jeans transition from sneakers to heels without losing structure. The neutral tone makes outfit building effortless.
You should not be adjusting your jeans mid-day.
You should be present.
Fit and Fabric
Fit note: Size down with medium stretch. Most customers find this runs larger than 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 25 in The Tara.
Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer the same size as their usual boutique size. If you wear a size 5 in Judy Blue, you will wear a size 5 in The Tara.
For full measurements, please refer to the size chart.
Rise:
Size 3: 11"
Size 18W: 13.13"
Inseam: Short 29", Regular 32", Long 35"
Fabric: 63% Cotton, 32% Polyester, 3% Viscose, 2% Spandex
Structured stretch that moves with you and holds its shape all day.

The Why Behind the Design
Blue denim is easy. Black denim is expected. Charcoal feels intentional.
The Tara was designed to smooth through the waist, relax through the leg, and offer a modern neutral that works year-round.
Because sometimes the right wash changes everything.

Questions women ask us
Straight answers from our fit team.
Will the Tara gap in the back?
No. The Tara is fitted through the waist so it does not gap at the back.
Do the Tara jeans have tummy control?
Yes. A built in hip to hip panel smooths and supports your midsection without squeezing.
Should I size down in the Tara?
Yes. Most women size down one from their usual department store size. If you wear a 26 in Levi's, choose a 25 in the Tara. If you wear a 5 in Judy Blue, choose a 5 in the Tara.
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 charcoal closer to black or gray?
Charcoal is a deep gray. It is softer than black, with natural fading through the thighs and light distressing at the pocket edges and hem.
What is the rise of the Tara?
The rise is 11" in size 3 and 13 1/8" 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 is a street size 2 and wears the Tara in a size 1, Short 29".
Will I need to hem the Tara?
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 Tara jeans good for petite and tall women?
Yes. The Tara 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 Tara come in?
Sizes 00 to 15 and curvy sizes 14W to 24W, each in Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35".
What is the Tara made of?
63% cotton, 32% polyester, 3% viscose and 2% spandex, with medium stretch that holds its shape. Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low.

Use the size finder on this page, or our full Find My Size tool, where you enter the sizes you wear now and get your best match. Our team is also here 7 days a week to help.
How fast does the Tara ship?
Orders placed before 2 PM EST typically ship the same business day from our Michigan warehouse. Shipping is $7.97 and free on orders over $99.
How do returns and exchanges work?
You have 30 days to exchange or return, as long as your jeans are unworn, unwashed and have the tags on. Choose your new size in our return portal. 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.

My new favorite pair of jeans!! Super comfortable, soft, and stretchy! The length is on point for a lady with tall height
Hi Thowes18 Nelson! We're so happy to hear you love the jeans and find them comfortable and perfect for your height. Thanks for your wonderful review!
Love these jeans!! So comfortable! True to size!! Hold their shape! So soft and flattering!! These will be a work wear staple!!
Hi Melissa! We're thrilled to hear you love the jeans and find them comfortable and flattering. Thanks for sharing your experience—it's wonderful to know they'll be a staple in your wardrobe! 😊
I am not a person who writes reviews, so when I tell you these are the most flattering & comfortable jeans that I own, you know I’m telling the truth. The fit is incredible and the length is great for my 5’1 frame. The wash is just the right amount of trendy but won’t go out of style quickly. Now please make these exact jeans in 17 different colors!
Hannah, this is so good to hear! The Tara by Ava Lane jeans really are a standout when the fit and comfort hit just right. And 17 colors sounds like a great idea.
The best pair of jeans I've owned in a while. Stretchy, but not so much that the material gets all saggy and gross. Perfect color and length (long bc I'm 6'1).
These jeans are very nice quality, the denim is heavy and stretchy which will be good in cooler weather, and the fit is perfect, fits in the seat without being too tight or baggy. The wide leg is a fun departure from the skinny cut. I got the 32" inseam but I will have to hem them since I can't wear heels anymore.
Hi Deborah, thank you for sharing your kind words! We're so glad you love the quality and fit of the jeans. Hemming is a simple fix for the perfect length. Enjoy your new style!
A nice shade of grey. I love the wide leg nice stretch and the delivery was the fastest I’ve ever had.
I was completely surprised how much I love these jeans! They fit just right and are so comfortable. I couldn’t be happier!
We're thrilled to hear the Tara jeans exceeded your expectations and that you love the fit and comfort. Nothing makes us happier than helping our customers find a pair they feel amazing in. We truly appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your new favorite jeans!
Wow, love these. Great fit and perfect length
Too big
Hi Connie! Fits can definitely vary depending on the style and cut. If you’d like help with sizing or options, feel free to send us an email and our customer service team will be happy to help.
Runs small- love the cut, color and style. Runs small. Consider sizing up.
The Tara really is such a great pick with that color and style! Fits can definitely vary depending on the style and cut, so sizing can feel a little different from pair to pair. Please send us an email, we are here to help!
At 5’10”, having the option for long jeans was a win win. Not only do they fit perfectly, but there very stylish and the fit is ultra soft and comfortable. They are not a stiff denim yet are still substantial. Very happy with my purchase!
We love hearing these worked out so well for you. Having that long length option really makes a difference, and it’s great that the fit and feel are just right too. Such a great pair to add to the lineup.
Love these pants! The fit is as described; they are flattering; and they wash beautifully!
So excited you’re loving The Tara by Ava Lane. That trouser style is such a fun change from everyday denim and it’s even better when the fit feels just right and they keep looking great wash after wash.
Some of the best jesns Ive ever ordered! No issues, excellent fit, superb quality.
I am so happy you love The Tara by Ava Lane. When the fit is on point and the quality stands out right away, that is exactly what we hope for.
