Jeans Sizing FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting UK jeans sizes to international standards.
No, they use different numbering systems. For men, UK jeans sizes are typically measured in inches (e.g., 32), while EU sizes use a different scale (e.g., 48) or centimetres (e.g., 81 cm). For women, a UK size 10 generally converts to an EU size 38.
Use a soft measuring tape around your natural waistline, which is just above your belly button and below your rib cage. Keep the tape snug but not tight, and ensure it is parallel to the floor. For low-rise jeans, measure around your hips where the jeans will actually sit.
Yes, significantly. Men’s jeans are usually sized by waist measurement in inches (which often doubles as the US size), whereas women’s jeans use a standard dress-size numbering system (e.g., UK 12, EU 40, US 8). Always use the gender-specific conversion chart for accuracy.
If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up, especially for 100% cotton denim which has little to no stretch. You can always have the waist taken in by a tailor, but letting out a pair of jeans is often impossible due to limited seam allowance.
