How to Choose the Right Jeans for Your Body Type: Curvy, Petite, Tall & Regular

Finding the perfect pair of jeans shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Yet, if you’ve ever been stuck in a fitting room with ten pairs and none feel quite right, you’re not alone.

That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in—the UK’s leading size-matching tool, helping you find your exact size in over 1,500 clothing brands. Say goodbye to size guessing and hello to jeans that actually fit.

  • Why Tellar.co.uk is the smartest way to shop for jeans

1. Why Jeans Sizing is So Confusing

Let’s start with the elephant in the fitting room: sizes mean nothing across brands.

A size 12 in Levi’s might fit completely differently than a size 12 in H&M. Add body type variations like longer legs, wider hips, or a shorter torso—and it’s chaos. This is partly due to:

  • Vanity sizing: Brands inflate sizes to make customers feel smaller

  • Lack of standardization: No universal size chart exists

  • Different fits: Skinny, bootcut, straight, boyfriend, mom—each has unique proportions

  • Body diversity: Most size charts assume one “ideal” shape that doesn’t reflect reality

This is exactly the problem Tellar.co.uk was built to solve. We take your exact body measurements—chest, waist, and hips—and match them to real brand size charts so you know your true fit in any label.

2. Curvy Jeans: Designed for Hourglass & Pear Shapes

Curvy jeans are cut to accommodate smaller waists and fuller hips, thighs, or bums. You might notice they have:

  • More room in the hip and thigh

  • Contoured waistbands to reduce gaping

  • Stretch fabric for flexibility

But here’s the catch: not all brands label “curvy” jeans consistently. A “curvy” fit at one store might just be their regular skinny jean with a different name.

🔍 Use Tellar.co.uk to find which curvy styles actually match your body shape based on your precise waist-to-hip ratio.

📌 Pro Tip: If your hips are more than 10 inches larger than your waist, curvy jeans might be your best match.

3. Petite Jeans: Made for Frames Under 5’4”

Petite doesn’t just mean shorter legs—it also means adjusted proportions throughout:

  • Shorter inseams (26–28 inches typically)

  • Higher knee break to suit shorter legs

  • Smaller rise to flatter shorter torsos

But again, petite sizing varies massively across brands. Some brands don’t offer it at all, while others might label a 29″ inseam as “petite”.

📏 Tellar.co.uk lets you input your inseam and waist, and instantly tells you which brands and styles will suit your height—no more cuffed hems or tailoring bills.

4. Tall Jeans: Long Legs Deserve Better

If you’re over 5’9”, finding jeans with the right length can feel impossible. Tall jeans usually offer:

  • Longer inseams (34–38 inches)

  • Slightly higher rises

  • Proportional adjustments in hip and thigh

Some brands only offer tall options online, making it even harder to guess your size. That’s why Tellar.co.uk shows you the exact measurements for each brand’s tall range, so you never waste time or money again.

📌 Already know your inseam? Input it here and discover the best long-leg denim options.

5. Regular Jeans: The Most Misleading Label?

“Regular” sounds like it should be straightforward—but it’s often the most confusing of all. A regular fit might refer to:

  • Average body length (typically 5’4″ to 5’8″)

  • Standard waist-to-hip ratio

  • Medium-rise jeans with standard inseam (30–32 inches)

But what one brand calls “regular” another might call “classic” or “straight.” There’s no guarantee it’ll suit your proportions—even if you’ve worn that size before.

That’s why we recommend using actual measurements over labels.
