Finding perfectly tailored jeans that will emphasize your figure and guarantee comfort when worn is quite a challenge. It is difficult to immediately understand the size markings and the differences between the individual styles. It is worth remembering that the number in the size chart is not the only element that determines their fit. The style, body type, fabric elasticity and individual preferences also matter.
Women's Trouser Sizes – How to Choose the Right One?
Women's trouser sizes can vary depending on the brand, so you can't always rely solely on the size chart. Another issue is matching the trousers to the characteristics of the figure, because not every variant will work for different hip or thigh dimensions.
Jeans sizes and their stretchability
If the material is stretchy, it is possible to choose a slightly smaller size, as the trousers will adjust to the body shape after some time. Jeans without the addition of stretchy material will hold their shape more stably, but you may feel some stiffness during movement. It is worth noting, however, that excessive stretchability also causes the fibres to break down more quickly, which affects the life of the product and the risk of fading or abrasion.
Trouser size chart to help you when buying
When choosing jeans, a size chart is useful. It is good to measure your body calmly, preferably in underwear or thin clothing, to avoid adding extra centimeters. Using a proven chart and measuring your figure correctly, it is easy to choose a size that will fit well.
How to measure pants?
To determine exactly whether a new product will meet your specific needs, you can also reach for your own pants that currently fit best and measure their basic parameters. This includes the width at the waist (measured flat from one side seam to the other), the inside leg from the crotch to the end of the leg, and the width of the hips, measured at the widest point.
Jeans - Trouser Sizes and Models
Achieving full comfort is not only influenced by the numbering, but also by the cut and height of the trouser waist – we have described this in detail in the model guide. High waist means a raised waist that reaches clearly above the hip line and emphasizes the waist, while straight fit is a classic, straight leg cut, providing a universal fit. Bootcut is a version with a slightly flared bottom, which nicely matches high-heeled shoes, while relaxed indicates a looser circumference in the hips and thighs, allowing for greater freedom of movement. Flared, on the other hand, is distinguished by a significantly flared leg below the knee, creating a distinct shape. Many customers decide on slim, i.e. a cut that fits along the entire leg, while wide leg offers a completely loose cut, the legs of which are wide from the thigh to the bottom. Mom jeans, on the other hand, are distinguished by a high waist, a slightly looser cut in the hips and a slightly tapered leg.
