How Do I Find My Size in Jeans? The Ultimate Fit Guide from Tellar.co.uk
Stop guessing. Start fitting. Find your perfect jeans size in seconds with Tellar.co.uk.

Jeans are a wardrobe essential — but finding the right fit can feel like solving a puzzle. With so many styles, brands, and sizing systems (UK, US, EU, waist/inseam), it’s no surprise that millions of people ask:

👉 How do I know what size jeans I wear?
👉 What’s the difference between a 28 and a UK 10?
👉 Why do jeans fit differently in every brand?

At Tellar.co.uk, we take your real body measurements and instantly tell you your best size in jeans — across 1,500+ brands. No charts. No guessing. Just accurate fit.

🔹 What Measurements Do You Need to Find Your Jeans Size?

To get your perfect jeans size, you only need three measurements:

  1. Waist – Measure the narrowest part of your torso (usually just above your belly button)

  2. Hips – Measure the widest part of your lower body

  3. Inseam (optional) – The length from your inner thigh to the bottom of your ankle (for leg length)

🔍 What Does a Size 28 in Jeans Mean?

Many brands use waist/inseam sizing (e.g., 28/32):

  • 28 = 28 inches around the waist

  • 32 = 32 inches inseam (leg length)

But this doesn’t always map directly to UK sizing. For example:

Waist (inches) Approx. UK Size
24″ UK 6
26″ UK 8
28″ UK 10
30″ UK 12
32″ UK 14

💡 These can vary a lot by brand — which is why Tellar uses actual fit data per brand, not just averages.

👖 Why Do Jeans Fit Differently in Every Brand?

Because not all jeans are cut the same. Some factors include:

  • Fit type: Skinny, straight, wide-leg, bootcut, etc.

  • Rise: High-rise vs mid-rise vs low-rise

  • Fabric: Stretch denim fits looser than rigid/raw denim

  • Brand sizing philosophy: Some brands run large (vanity sizing), others run small (European tailoring)

🔎 Tellar.co.uk handles these differences automatically — so you only see the size that fits your body in that brand’s jeans.
