Inseam on low rise jeans.

If I were to buy straight leg low rise jeans (jeans that fit below your hip) such as the Levi's 514, and going for the 'stacked' look, would i still need to add 2 inches to my real inseam?

 

My real inseam measured from crotch down to my foot (no shoes) is 30 inches.

500

I wear pants with a 30" inseam with no break. I also wear a pair of jeans with a 38" inseam (and a variety of stuff in between). I've never been accused of looking like a fool.

If you want stacks, don't get straight leg with long inseam, that looks awful. You need tapered leg.

Yeah, I would agree with the tapered fit for stacking. You'll want a smaller leg opening in order for your jeans to stack better. And length depends on how much stacking you want, I have mine at 33 inseam for some stacking when i should be a 30

How so? Levi's 514 are slim straight, so they look something like this:

I'm kind of trying to avoid tapered jeans/skinny jeans. They are just so uncomfortable to wear

I wouldn't really call 514s low rise jeans... maybe if you're used to wearing Wranglers. Not really slim either, even though it's in the name.

Those look like very minimal stacks. With a tapered fit/smaller leg opening you'll get more stacks. Taken from the APC thread.
Petite Standards:
500

Kid Cudi wearing New Cures: (not quite as tapered as the PS)
500

Another example of a smaller leg opening with good stacks. These are also new cures, but they look a size or two bigger:
500

I know you want a more relaxed fit, these pictures were just to show you how jeans with a smaller leg opening will create more stacks.

N&F Weird Guy - slim, yet roomy in the thigh, with a small enough leg opening (14-15" between fabrics/sizing) to create fantastic stacks.
