An attempts to put together a “general” size chart will not only unhelpful, it is also misleading as there are no uniform size standards in the apparel industry.

However, to help you get the best out of size charts for jeans, we have put together the following simple and useful key points:

• Every designer / manufacturer have  their own size chart for jeans which you should refer to; 
• Size charts for jeans are available for every category of people – men, women, children, and special sizes [large, petite, slim, etc]. Size charts for jeans also cater for all cuts – low rise, straight cut, etc.;

• What size and type you buy will be influenced by your body built, body contour [ male vs female] and cutting / style of the jeans; 
• For best fit, do not measure your body fully clothed; however, you should be in your undergarments; 
• You need to know some simple measurement of your body to use the size charts for jeans effectively; 
• Key measurements you should know: measurements of your waist, hip, thigh, front rise and inseam; 
• If you already have a pair of jeans that are fitting, use the measurements of that  jeans; 
• Check whether the desired jeans have been preshrunk. If not, make allowance for shrinkage [buy jeans from reputable manufacturers and reliable sites to ensure quality fabric – you want the jeans to keep its shape after washing].
