Denim Fit Guide
Find your jeans size, brand by brand.
Every denim brand fits a little differently. Here is how our sizes work, how each brand runs, and what size our models wear.
How our sizes work
Most of our jeans show two numbers, like 7/28. The first is the number size and the second is the waist size, so a 7 and a 28 are the same pair.
| Size | 0 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waist | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 |
