Tips for Finding the Perfect Jeans Fit
- Different brands may have slightly different sizing. Always check the specific brand's size chart when available.
- For stretch denim, consider sizing down as these jeans will expand slightly with wear.
- For 100% cotton (non-stretch) denim, consider sizing up as they won't have as much give.
- If you're between sizes, go with the larger size for comfort.
- When trying on jeans, make sure you can sit comfortably without the waistband digging in.
- Pay attention to the rise - it significantly affects how jeans fit and feel.
- Remember that most jeans will stretch slightly with wear, particularly in the waist and seat areas.
