American Tall Soft Motion Wide Leg Pant vs American Tall Pleated Wide Leg Dress Pants

Buy the Soft Motion Wide Leg if you want an everyday pant that resists wrinkles and fits a genuinely tall frame with a 34-inch inseam. Buy the Pleated Wide Leg if you need a dressier trouser for work or evenings and your inseam runs very long. The Soft Motion scores higher with owners (4.4 vs 3.9) and its stretch tri-blend is more forgiving. The Pleated pant has the sharper tailoring, a hook-and-bar closure and knife pleats, but it runs slim through the hips and fits small, so size up.

  • Choose the Soft Motion Wide Leg if you want a wrinkle-resistant, stretchy everyday wide-leg pant with pockets and a true tall inseam.
  • Choose the Pleated Wide Leg if you want a tailored, pleated dress pant with an extra-long 37.5-inch inseam for work or evenings.

  • American Tall Soft Motion Wide Leg Pant: $85.00 at American Tall (checked today)

What reviewers say

American Tall Soft Motion Wide Leg Pant

  • 4.4 / 5404 ratings

Buyers rate these highly for finally finding a wide-leg pant long enough for their height. The high rise and stretch fabric draw praise for comfort and a flattering line. Some note the length is unforgiving if you are not genuinely tall.

What people mention
  • LengthPraisedTall buyers say the 34-inch inseam finally reaches the floor.
  • RisePraisedThe ultra-high rise is called flattering and stays put.
  • FabricMixedStretch and wrinkle resistance are liked, but some worry about durability.
  • FitCriticisedShoppers note the cut is too long and roomy for non-tall frames.

American Tall Pleated Wide Leg Dress Pants

  • 3.9 / 5270 ratings

Rated 3.9 out of 5 from 270 ratings. Buyers value the tall-specific length and the dressy pleated look, but the average suggests a meaningful share found fit or fabric issues.

What people mention
  • LengthPraisedTall shoppers say the inseam finally reaches the floor without alterations.
  • FitMixedSome find the high waist and hip fit true to size; others say sizing runs off.
  • FabricMixedThe stretch blend drapes well but some find the polyester feel less premium.

Questions and answers

Which is better for the office?
The Pleated Wide Leg. Its pleats, fly zipper and hook-and-bar closure read as a dress pant, and the 37.5-inch inseam suits very long legs. The Soft Motion is the more casual of the two.
Which is better for everyday wear?
The Soft Motion Wide Leg. The stretch tri-blend resists wrinkles, the ultra high-rise stays put, and the pockets are useful. It also rates higher with owners.
Which fits taller women better?
The Pleated Wide Leg has the longer inseam at 37.5 inches against 34 inches. If your inseam is under about 34 inches, the Soft Motion is the safer length.
Does the Pleated Wide Leg run true to size?
No. It is cut slim through the hips and listed as fitting small, so most shoppers should size up. The Soft Motion's stretch fabric is more forgiving.
Is the Soft Motion worth stepping up to?
If you want one pant for errands, travel and lounging, yes. It needs less ironing and has pockets. Step to the Pleated pair only if you need a dressier look or a longer inseam.
