  • Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the pant leg.
  • Hips: If needed, measure around the fullest part of the hips.

  • Waist: Measure around the natural waistline.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
  • Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the pant leg.
  • Rise: Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband at the front or back.

Measuring for Jeans

When measuring for jeans, focus on waist size, inseam, and sometimes hips. Here are the key measurements for a well-fitted pair of jeans:
