Product Size Chart: Women's Jeans

28, 30, 32 and 34 inches are among the most common women's jean lengths, while shorter and longer options are also available.

How to Measure

Waist: Measure around the area where the jeans are intended to sit. For high-, mid-, and low-rise jeans, this position can differ.

Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the desired hem.

Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. Hip measurement is especially important for fitted, skinny, and non-stretch jeans.

Understanding W × L

W24 × L28 = 24-inch waist + 28-inch inseam
W28 × L30 = 28-inch waist + 30-inch inseam
W32 × L32 = 32-inch waist + 32-inch inseam

Some brands simply display these as 24×28, 28×30, or 32×32.

These conversions are approximate because women's denim sizing differs significantly between brands.

Fit & Rise

Skinny / Slim Fit — close through the hips, thighs and legs.
Straight Fit — relatively straight from thigh to hem.
Bootcut / Flare — fitted above the knee and wider toward the hem.
Relaxed / Wide Leg — provides more room through the hips and legs.

High Rise, Mid Rise and Low Rise describe where the waistband sits and can affect how the same waist size feels.

Please Note

Women's jean sizing is not fully standardized. Stretch denim, rise, cut and brand sizing can all affect fit.

Use waist and inseam as the primary reference, and hips as an additional fit check.
