Dr Denim Size Guide: What Size Am I in Dr Denim? Fit Advice, Sizing Help & UK Conversion

Author: Stylist and brand team at TellarDate: 2025

Dr Denim has become a cult favourite for fashion lovers who want effortless denim with a modern, Scandinavian edge. Known for its clean lines, stretchy fabrics, and flattering high-rise styles, Dr Denim strikes the balance between timeless and trend-led.

But when it comes to fit, many shoppers have one question: What size should I buy in Dr Denim jeans?

That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in. We help UK shoppers find their exact fit in over 1,500 brands—including Dr Denim—by matching their actual measurements to real size data. Skip the size chart stress, the trial-and-error returns, and get it right the first time.


About Dr Denim: Minimalist Fits with Flexible Stretch

Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, Dr Denim offers:

  • High-waisted skinny and straight-leg jeans

  • Soft, stretch-infused denim

  • Unisex and gender-fluid styles

  • A fit philosophy built around simplicity, not fast fashion over-design

Most of their jeans feature elastane or modal blends, giving them a unique stretch fit that can make sizing tricky to predict—especially when shopping online.

Whether you’re new to the brand or replacing a favourite pair, use Tellar’s free size-matching tool to find your best Dr Denim fit in seconds.


How Does Dr Denim Sizing Work?

Dr Denim uses waist/inseam sizing in inches (e.g. 26/30), or standard XS to L sizing for some styles. Fit can vary significantly based on:

  • Cut (e.g. Echo vs Nora)

  • Fabric composition (high stretch vs rigid denim)

  • Intended silhouette (tight vs relaxed)

Many UK shoppers find Dr Denim runs slightly small, especially in styles with less stretch. Tellar helps you make sense of that in real time by using your waist, hip, and leg measurements to show the correct size—so there’s no guessing.

  • Mid-stretch denim

  • Fits true to waist but slightly snug through hips

  • Size up if you prefer a looser fit around the seat


Nora Jeans

  • Iconic tapered ‘mom fit’

  • Often made from rigid denim with no stretch

  • Size up for comfort and mobility

  • Expect a slightly cropped ankle


Lexy Jeans

  • Ultra-skinny and super-stretch

  • Runs true to size or slightly large due to stretch

  • Clings to body shape, ideal for sleek styling

  • If in between sizes, you may prefer the smaller size for a sculpted look


Dash Jeans

  • Relaxed fit with mid-rise

  • More casual and roomy

  • True to size, sometimes looser through waist

  • Best suited for straight body shapes or those wanting a slouchy fit

You can always compare these cuts live on Tellar by matching your measurements to our style database.


Tips for Getting the Right Dr Denim Fit

  • Check the fabric blend: More elastane = more stretch and tighter initial fit

  • Read the style notes: Rigid cotton fits differently than modal blends

  • Don’t rely solely on your usual high street size—Dr Denim uses more European grading

What UK Shoppers Say About Dr Denim Sizing

“I wear a size 10 in most UK brands, but Dr Denim’s Echo jeans were tighter in the hips than expected. Tellar recommended a 28/32 based on my waist and hip size, and the second pair fit perfectly.”

— Lucy, 29, Leeds

“The Lexy jeans are super stretchy—almost like leggings. I sized down based on Tellar’s advice and it was spot on. I wouldn’t have guessed that myself.”

— Hannah, 25, Brighton
