The Best Denim Brands – And How to Finally Find Your Perfect Fit

Let’s be honest: buying jeans can be exhausting.

You scroll through dozens of styles, add a few to your basket, second-guess the size chart, and cross your fingers until delivery day. And then—like clockwork—the fit is wrong. Either they’re too tight at the waist, too baggy at the thigh, or just...off.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Finding your perfect denim fit is notoriously difficult. Every brand has its own idea of what a size 12 means. That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in—the UK’s leading free sizing tool that takes your exact body measurements and matches them to over 1,500 brand size charts in real time.

In this blog, I’ll walk you through ten of the best denim brands on the market, and more importantly—how to finally get the size right with Tellar.

Levi’s – The Denim OG

There’s a reason Levi’s still dominates the denim space after 170 years. From the classic 501 Original to the newer Ribcage and Wedgie styles, they’ve managed to stay relevant without losing their roots.

But here’s the catch—fit can vary wildly by style. Some are rigid vintage cuts, others have stretch, and the waistband fit changes from one pair to the next.

What to do?

Use Tellar’s size lookup tool to match your body measurements to the exact Levi’s size that will actually fit you.

Frame – Luxe Denim with a Tailored Feel

Frame is the denim of choice for celebrities and fashion editors. It’s minimalist, premium, and seriously flattering. Styles like Le Skinny de Jeanne and Le Original offer that polished, just-dressed-up-enough look.

But be warned—Frame tends to run small, especially in rigid denim. That’s why I always recommend using the Tellar measuring tape and plugging in your exact numbers before buying.

Citizens of Humanity – Premium Craftsmanship

Citizens is one of those brands that takes denim seriously. Every pair is designed, cut, sewn, and washed in Los Angeles. The Daphne and Rocket fits are super flattering, and their fabric quality is genuinely worth the investment.

Need help deciding between two sizes? Create a Tellar profile to store your measurements and instantly see how Citizens will fit you, down to the centimetre.

Nudie Jeans – Raw, Sustainable, and Timeless

If you’ve ever wanted jeans that feel like they were made for you, Nudie’s raw denim is it. These jeans start stiff but mould to your shape the more you wear them. Plus, they offer free lifetime repairs.

But you really can’t guess the size here. Raw denim is unforgiving at first—so you need to get the fit right. Enter Tellar.co.uk. Use the site’s real-time brand matching to take the risk out of buying raw denim.

Re/Done – Vintage with a Twist

Re/Done takes vintage Levi’s and reconstructs them into one-of-a-kind jeans. They also offer their own original fits inspired by vintage cuts.

Because of the nature of reworked jeans, sizing is incredibly unpredictable. But with Tellar’s size-matching tool, you can match your waist and hip measurements to Re/Done’s database and avoid the return hassle.

AG Jeans – Comfort Meets Style

AG blends stretch, structure, and sustainability in equal measure. Their jeans often feel like they’ve already been broken in. Bestsellers like The Prima and The Farrah give you both comfort and shape.

Some AG styles stretch more than others over time, so be sure to check your exact measurements before buying. Tellar makes it easy with a printable tape measure and simple profile creation.

Everlane – Ethical Basics Done Right

Everlane makes clean, affordable jeans in one of the most sustainable denim factories in the world. Their ’90s Cheeky Straight and Arc Jeans are especially popular.

If you’re shopping from the UK, you’ll want to double-check Everlane’s sizing translations. Skip the guesswork—use Tellar’s store lookup tool to find the best Everlane fit based on your real body data.

Weekday – Scandi Cool for All Genders

Weekday offers gender-neutral styles with a trend-led, minimalist twist. Their Voyage, Space, and Rowe fits are consistently loved by younger shoppers looking for something fresh but wearable.

Sizing tends to follow European standards, which don’t always align with UK sizes. Tellar converts it all for you, so you can buy in confidence. Check your size here.

Goldsign – Quiet Luxury in Denim Form

Goldsign is one of those understated labels that fashion insiders obsess over. Their rigid, structured styles offer timeless silhouettes made with craftsmanship in mind.

These are premium jeans with no stretch, so exact sizing is essential. Tellar helps you pinpoint the best fit from your waist to your hip ratio. Create your free profile at Tellar.co.uk and let the tool do the hard work.

Wrangler – Classic with a Modern Fit

Wrangler’s having a bit of a comeback moment—and for good reason. The brand’s modern cuts like the Wild West Bootcut and Mom Jeans combine heritage details with contemporary fits.

They also tend to be more curve-friendly than many other brands, offering a bit more room through the thighs. But again, don’t rely on a general label size. Use Tellar’s real-time matching to check your exact Wrangler fit.
