Sizing your jeans is an essential skill to have when you’re shopping or building your wardrobe. Since not all jeans sizes are the same, knowing your measurements will help you determine the right size for you, regardless of the style or brand. You can use a favorite pair of jeans to take measurements; If not, choose a pair of pants that you like best to estimate. Once you’ve got your measurements, buying jeans or casual pants will be as easy as candy, and you’ll always find the perfect pair of pants!
Steps
Determine the size of a pair of jeans

Spread the pants out on a wide flat surface. To get accurate measurements, spread out your jeans and smooth them out. Wrinkles will distort measurement results. [1] X Research Source
- Unbutton and zip pants before measuring.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Size-Jeans-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-2- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Size-Jeans-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure the waistband and double the result to get a waist measurement. Waist measurement is one of the most basic parameters you will often see in stores. Use a measuring tape to measure across the waistband, making sure not to let the waistband sag or sag. [2] X Research Source
- Do not stretch the elastic waistband when measuring: otherwise, the measurement result will be larger than actual.
- Note whether the pants are “high-waist” or “low-waist”. If the waistband is not at the natural waistline of your body, you need to keep this in mind when buying new pants.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/21/Size-Jeans-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-3- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/21/Size-Jeans-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure the length of the inner rib seam. Inner rib seam is measured from crotch point to hem; Do not measure from the waistband down. Stores often use this measurement to determine your pants size, especially men’s; This measurement is also commonly used to measure the length of trousers. Do not forget to record the measurement results. [3] X Research Sources
- Be sure to lay your pants flat when measuring the inside seam.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/af/Size-Jeans-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-4- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/af/Size-Jeans-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure the distance from the crotch to the waistband for a crotch seam measurement. You don’t often see this measurement like waist and inseam measurements, but it can sometimes be needed. [4] X Research Sources
- Many pants sizes provide “bottom seam” and “back seam” readings. The front bottom seam is measured from the crotch to the waistband on the front, the back seam is measured from the crotch to the waistband on the back.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4c/Size-Jeans-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-5- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4c/Size-Jeans-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure the thigh below the crotch 5cm to determine the thigh measurement. You’ll measure the pant leg, then double the result. This measurement is also not very common. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Size-Jeans-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-6- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Size-Jeans-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Choose the right pants size by comparing the measurements with the size chart. For women’s jeans, the waist measurement will be the most important measurement, but the inside seam measurement will help determine whether you need to buy long, medium or short jeans. Men’s jeans including waist and leg length measurements.
- You can refer to the size chart of some pants brands in the following table: http://sev.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/08/54e782633993b_-_size-chart.pdf.
- Many shopping sites have their own sizing charts, so if you want to buy from a particular brand, use their size chart.
- Note that for men’s jeans, it is recommended to choose a size a few centimeters larger because manufacturers often refer to sizes slightly smaller than the actual size, this is called the virtual size phenomenon. [6] X Research Sources
Measure your body to find the perfect pants size
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/47/Size-Jeans-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-7- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/47/Size-Jeans-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use a soft tape measure around your waist to measure your waist. You need to fit the measuring tape around your waist, so it is best to use a soft tape measure. Place the ruler directly on the skin, about 10cm below the navel. Loop the tape measure behind your back and wrap it around the front to measure your waist. Many stores often use this measurement. [7] X Research Sources
- If you don’t hold the ruler against your skin, you won’t get an accurate measurement.
- Record this measurement on a piece of paper.
- The natural waistline will actually be higher, just above the navel, but most jeans have the waistband located below. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3d/Size-Jeans-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-8- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3d/Size-Jeans-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Determine the side seam measurement in the pants by measuring from the groin down. You will stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, measuring from foot to groin on the inner thigh. You can ask someone close to you to measure it for you. Where do you want the hem of your pants to go, measure from there. This measurement is used very often, especially for men’s pants. [9] X Research Source
- For example, if you want to wear long pants, measure from the soles of your feet.
- Do not bend over to read the measurement. You can view measurements with a mirror or use your finger to mark the ruler.
- If you can’t hold the ruler in place, you can use tape to secure one end of the tape measure at the ankle and hold the other end at the groin.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/45/Size-Jeans-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-9- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/45/Size-Jeans-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure around hips for hip measurements. Some jeans also have this measurement. Wrap the tape measure at the widest part of your hip, making sure it doesn’t get too high or low in the back. You don’t often see this measurement, but it can still be used as a reference when measuring pants before trying on. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e6/Size-Jeans-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-10- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e6/Size-Jeans-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure thigh circumference. Wrap the tape measure close to the skin, around the thigh where the thigh is widest. You only need to measure one thigh, no need to measure both. If one thigh is slightly larger, the larger side will be measured. This measurement is also not very common. [11] X Research Source
- Try not to pull the tape measure too tight, or the measurement will not be accurate and the pants you choose will not fit. You need to wrap the tape measure so that it hugs your thigh, but you can still slide a finger down.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1c/Size-Jeans-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-11- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1c/Size-Jeans-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure from crotch to navel to get the front crotch size. Place the measuring tape just behind the crotch point, pulling across the front of the pelvis up to the waistband. For women’s pants, the waistband is usually around the navel. For men’s pants, the waistband is usually 2.5 to 5cm below the navel or more. You can wear a belt when measuring the bottom seam of your pants to know exactly where the waistband is. You won’t often see this measurement, but sometimes stores use it to tell you how high-waisted pants you need.
- If you need to measure the bottom seam on the back of the pants, measure the same for the back.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b2/Size-Jeans-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-12- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b2/Size-Jeans-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use measurements to find the right pants based on the size chart. For women’s jeans, see waist measurement, which is the most accurate size measurement. You’ll probably also need to measure the side seams in your pants. For men’s jeans, you’ll use both your length and waist measurements to determine your pants size based on the size chart. Note that sizes may be slightly smaller or larger, so it’s best to check with the actual size chart. [12] X Research Source
- When shopping online, use the manufacturer’s sizing chart to find the right size for your pants. If you want to know the sizes of different brands of pants, you can refer to the table below: http://sev.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/08/54e782633993b_-_size-chart.pdf.
Find a pair of jeans that fit
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4a/Size-Jeans-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-13- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Size-Jeans-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Consider waist height when measuring waist. The waistband will be about 5-10cm below the navel for low-rise pants, just below the belly button for medium-rise pants, and near the natural waistline, at the navel or slightly higher for high-waisted pants. [13] X Research Source
- If necessary, measure your waist at the desired waist position.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f3/Size-Jeans-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-14- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f3/Size-Jeans-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure pants at the store before trying them on. If you don’t like trying on jeans, use a measuring tape to check the size of the pants first and compare with your body measurements to find the right pants. If you can’t find pants that match your body size, choose a pair that’s slightly wider. [14] X Research Source
- You can also bring an old pair of pants to the store to put on new pants to see which one fits you.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f3/Size-Jeans-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-15- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f3/Size-Jeans-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Try on the pants before you buy to see if the measurements are correct. Even if you’ve measured your pants, it’s still best to try them on. Since it’s already measured, you don’t need to try as much, so it’ll be faster too.
- When worn, each pair of pants also feels different, especially when some are stretchy and others are not.
- Take someone with you when you try on the pants and have them check that the pants fit from the back, you won’t be able to check it yourself from this direction.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Size-Jeans-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-16- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Size-Jeans-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Size- Jeans-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Study the size chart and description when shopping for pants online to find the right size. Most online stores have sizing charts that let you know exactly what measurements each size corresponds to. Furthermore, many stores have size descriptions on their product pages, which may include hip and crotch measurements, which you can refer to for more details. about the product you are choosing. [15] X Research Source
- Beware of the virtual sizing as you won’t wear the same pants size at all stores. Don’t worry too much about “correct” sizes, focus on exact measurements. The same is true for men’s pants sizes, when in fact the size is “measured” but still varies across stores.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bd/Size-Jeans-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-17.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bd/Size-Jeans-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Learn about brands of clothing that fit you so you don’t need to measure too often. Some brands prefer a smaller or larger size, so it’s helpful to note the brands that fit you best. Also, record brands that use real and virtual sizes. [16] X Research Source
- For example, there is a website that ranks these brands on a scale from the brand that uses the closest size to the actual size including: H&M, Calvin Klein, Alfani, Gap, Haggar , Dockers, Old Navy.
- If you’re shopping for jeans online, read customer reviews and ratings to get a rough idea of the fit, i.e. if they’re actually larger or smaller. You can also consider buying from retailers that have generous returns policies so you can exchange your pants if they don’t fit.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Size-Jeans-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-18.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Size-Jeans-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-18.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy pants that are slightly smaller than stretch jeans. Unless it shrinks in washing, most jeans are only at their tightest when you first wear them. Due to the pressure after many wears, most of them will stretch over time and become more comfortable to wear. If your jeans feel just a little tight when you try them on for the first time, you’ll probably fit them later.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/44/Size-Jeans-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-19.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/44/Size-Jeans-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Size-Jeans-Step-19.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Consider taking your pants to a tailor to have them repaired for a better fit. If you are not satisfied with the size of the pants, you can take it to be repaired to fit you better. Find a tailor near your house that can repair jeans, the cost of repairing pants will be less expensive than buying new pants.
