Jeans size: how to determine yours
1. The easiest way. Take your latest favorite jeans and see their size. The label is located on the inside of the belt, 10 centimeters from the zipper or button. On the left on the inside if you are wearing jeans and on the right on the inside if you are holding them in front of you.
Size: designated W or SIZE.
Length: L or INSEAM usually 32.34 is the standard length. If 36, then this is a long height, it is much less common, but we have it too and it is indicated in the product description “Length” either “standard”, or “long height”, or “short”
2. Method, if you don’t have your “favorite” jeans (buy jeans from us and you will have them) and for a more accurate determination of the size. To do this, you need a measuring tape (“centimeter”). IKEA used to have something like this for free. Measure your waist in the place where you usually have the waistband of your jeans. Choose your size according to the table. If you know your Russian size, you can also use it as an additional parameter.
3. The method is perhaps the most reliable. Choose the model you like on the website. Order by selecting “pickup”.
Choose a store by location (shown on the map) of any of our 6 stores, from where it will be more convenient for you to pick up.
In the store you can choose a model, fabric, color, size. Sales consultants will help you with this. Try it on in the fitting room.
Payment in cash and by bank card.
4. When choosing a jeans model, to quickly find a suitable option, use the filter (you can select several checkboxes on one tab). This will make finding the right model much easier.

Jeans size - how to find a stylish piece of clothing in a few minutes
More and more Internet users prefer to make purchases online, but less experienced buyers are scared off by such commercial relationships. Due to the fact that there is no opportunity to try on the model you like, there is a possibility of wasting money and getting in return something that you would not like. The information on the label, as well as the description of the product, will help you protect yourself from such situations. When purchasing, we pay attention to the fit and silhouette of the jeans model, as well as choosing the appropriate size.
Tables for selecting jeans from foreign sizes into Russian ones
Some online stores offer a sizing grid, which you can use to select the required size:
Designation | Inseam (inseam length), cm. | Height, cm |
L28 | Up to 72 | 155 – 162 |
L30 | Up to 76 | Up to 170 |
L32 | Up to 81 | 170 – 178 |
L34 | Up to 86 | 178 – 188 |
L36 | Up to 91 | Above 188 |

Most often, the seller uses a grid for the size range of jeans. It is difficult to achieve an exact ratio of parameters using this scheme. Therefore, when purchasing a product online, where fitting is not possible, you must carefully read the product description and its characteristics. Separately, you need to pay attention to the indicated height or crotch length.
A simplified table proposed for determining the size in the European standard:
Jeans size | Waist circumference, cm. | Hip circumference, cm. |
S | 68 | 94 |
M | 72 | 98 |
L | 77 | 102 |
XL | 82 | 106 |
XXL | 87 | 110 |
The table below does not give information about the length of the model, but provides a good fit at the hips and waist. The L value is usually indicated in the model description and on the tag (label) accompanying the product.
Important! Another indicator needs to be taken into account when buying tapered jeans. You will need to measure the width of the leg at the bottom. If this is not possible, you can use a centimeter tape to measure the circumference of the foot in a wide area. To the obtained reading you will need to add 3 - 5 cm for freedom of fit. If this is not done, there is a high probability that the woman simply will not be able to put on tight pants, or will not be able to move around in them.
This indicator is designated by the manufacturer as Leg opening. In the product description, the parameter is also indicated in inches. For ladies with curvy figures, it is recommended to take an additional measurement - the circumference of the hip at the widest point. This will come in handy when purchasing a narrow model.
There is a simplified way to determine the size of women's jeans: from the clothing size (Russian standard), you need to subtract the number 16. The resulting value will show size W. For example, a woman wears size 48 clothes. 48 – 16 = 32. 32W jeans will suit such a lady.
Men's jeans sizes and women's jeans sizes - designations
There is a special designation system for denim trousers. The letter W stands for waist size, and the letter L stands for leg length, which is measured along the inseam. L depends on a person’s height and body type. All measurements are in inches: one inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. For example, the W28L30 label indicates that the waist is 28 inches and the length is 30 inches.

Buying from an online store - what you need to consider
When buying an item in an online store, when it is not possible to try it on, it is important to carefully study the characteristics of the product. Additional measurements may be needed here, such as the width of the trouser leg at the hip, knee and bottom.
If you have doubts about choosing a style, you should give preference to the classic cut. This option is considered a win-win. The skinny style, contrary to popular belief, will suit a woman of any build and figure type. Length, fit and color may vary.
It is necessary to study the composition of denim. He will indicate how the item will behave after washing and wearing, and how practical it is. 100% cotton may shrink significantly. It stretches slightly as you wear it. Material with stretch fibers will not shrink or stretch. The density of the fabric will indicate the thickness of the material.
An important indicator of quality is the manufacturer. Successful brands have long proven their products on the positive side. It is also worth reading reviews from consumers who purchased this model previously.
Details will also require attention: seams, rivets, pockets, belt loops, zippers, etc. The stitching on jeans must be perfectly straight. The crotch seam is made with double stitching using a thick thread to match or contrast. The shape of the back pockets plays an important role. Wide ones will visually enlarge the buttocks, tall narrow ones will elongate the silhouette.
The most commonly used markings with the number "34" and what they mean
The size can be calculated manually by measuring your shapes. The number 34 is the waist circumference or length of the product in inches. So that the buyer can easily decide on other size codes, it is worth taking note of the following popular markings:
- 34/32 - for average height (171-180 cm);
- 34/36 for tall people (191-200 cm), 34/34 (for height 181-190 cm);
- 34/30 (on short people 161-170).
Important! Chinese sizes most often do not correspond to the data in the table and it is dangerous to buy their clothes without trying them on. When ordering goods on Chinese platforms such as Aliexpress, Tmall, Taobao, be guided by the manufacturer's sizing tables.

What you should pay attention to when choosing
In addition to dimensional characteristics when choosing, it is important to pay attention to several other parameters:
- fabric structure;
- Style and its suitability to the figure;
- ways to care for the product.
Jeans should not squeeze the body at the waist or flatten the buttocks. Products with elastane must be chosen “true to size”. High-waisted pants can be a bit larger.
Cropped jeans with a low waist can visually ruin the proportions of your figure. The fit at the waist will visually make the silhouette slimmer and taller. Skinny jeans and mom jeans fit tight above the knee. It is important that they do not squeeze the leg when bending. And you definitely need to pay attention to the width of the trouser leg downwards.
What mistakes do we make when buying plus size jeans?
Preference for cheap products. The fact is that jeans are a rather complex item in design, and larger sizes require more fabric. Large sizes are sewn taking into account the fact that visually they should make the figure slimmer, and this must be taken into account when designing. This takes more time and effort, so we can conclude that high-quality women's jeans in large sizes cannot and should not be cheap.
Choosing the wrong size. When choosing jeans, even in large sizes, you need to remember the Russian proverb: “Less is better than more.” This is explained by the fact that more and more stretchable threads are being added to modern denim fabric, so the jeans fit perfectly on the figure, do not pinch anywhere and even hide some imperfections. But this will only happen if the jeans are slightly tight when trying them on. If they are very narrow and the fly is not fastened, then the desired effect will not be achieved. The same thing will happen if the jeans are too loose when trying them on; they will hang on your legs like bags.
It is a mistake to assume that jeans that are too tight will stretch and fit correctly over time. If you feel discomfort when trying on, it is better to refuse this pair of jeans. Of course, over time they will diverge slightly, but rather they will simply be wide, but in no case will they repeat the contours of the silhouette, much less correct it.
If you follow these recommendations when choosing large size jeans, you will certainly choose the most successful model that will fit your figure perfectly and even help hide certain of its features.
How to measure jeans correctly
A good fit is guaranteed by trying on. At the same time, it can be difficult to assess how a product looks on a woman, but also to understand how comfortable it is in movement.
When trying on jeans, you should pay attention to details that indicate the level of quality:
- When trying on for the first time, the pants are fastened with force. 100% cotton denim will stretch as you wear it. Products made from fabric containing elastane will become looser after washing; items made from cotton fibers will do the opposite. If the manufacturer indicates on the label that the material used is pre-shrink, then the fit will not change after washing.
- The zipper is easy to fasten and does not come apart.
- All seams and stitching are perfectly straight.
- High quality products have metal fittings (rivets, blocks, zippers) and a label made of genuine leather.
- The seams and zipper of the lock do not move to the side.
- The belt loops are securely and firmly sewn to the belt.
What does size 34 mean?
34W is an international marking used on jeans to indicate waist size in inches. To find out what size 34 jeans correspond to, you need to familiarize yourself with generally accepted standards. The marking “size 34” means parameter L (for women's products) or XL (for men's products) by international standards. According to Russian standards, it corresponds to size 50 .
Women's plus size jeans
From the very moment that denim products flooded the Russian and foreign markets, women in their bodies had one problem - it was very difficult to find jeans in large sizes. But at that time there was much less need for such models. However, today manufacturers have taken this issue under special control: different sizes have been put into mass production, from the smallest to the largest. Ladies with curvy figures just have to learn how to choose the right size and model of plus size jeans.
