Finding the Right Size in Any Pair of Jeans – Without Guesswork
Get the perfect fit in every denim style, across 1,500+ brands, with Tellar.co.uk
So, you’ve found your dream jeans—maybe it’s a pair of wide-leg high-waisted trousers, or a sleek return-to-skinny silhouette. But then comes the hard part: which size should you actually buy?
Jeans are one of the hardest clothing items to get right when shopping online. Sizing varies wildly between retailers, styles, and even fabric blends. Whether they run small, stretch out after a few wears, or are tailored for specific body shapes, getting it wrong means frustration, returns, and wasted money.
That’s where Tellar.co.uk steps in.
Why Jeans Are the Most Difficult Item to Size Online
Jeans are built from structured fabrics, often with minimal stretch. They must accommodate curves, waistlines, leg lengths, and body proportions that vary from person to person. Common issues include:
-
A perfect waist fit, but too tight on hips
-
Great in the thighs, but gaping at the waist
-
Accurate fit when first worn, but stretch out quickly
-
Variation in fit based on the rise (low, mid, high)
-
Inconsistencies across stores—even within the same brand
No wonder it's so common to feel like one size never fits quite right.

Why Standard Size Charts Don’t Work for Jeans
Most brands publish vague, flat size charts that don’t account for:
-
Your body shape (e.g. curvy hips, straight figure, fuller thighs)
-
How the cut of the jeans affects fit (e.g. wide-leg vs skinny vs bootcut)
-
Vanity sizing or brand-specific adjustments
-
How much the fabric stretches with wear
-
Whether the brand uses in-between sizes or double-number sizing
Tellar goes beyond basic conversions. It uses data-driven sizing to give you the most accurate match possible, every time.
How to Measure Yourself for the Best Jeans Fit
You only need to measure three points:
-
Waist – At the smallest part of your natural waistline
-
Hips – Around the fullest part of your hips and bottom
-
Chest – Still useful for shirt-style denim pieces or full-body sizing

What If You Already Know Your Size in One Shop?

-
Choose “I know my size in a store”
-
Enter M&S and Size 16
-
Tellar instantly estimates your measurements
-
Then tells you what size to buy in Zara, Reiss, ASOS, or any other brand
It’s perfect for shopping outside your usual go-to store—no tape measure needed.

Real Examples: What Tellar Reveals
Let’s say your hip measurement is 114cm and waist is 92cm:
-
Mango: Tends to run small in fitted jeans—Tellar recommends UK 18
-
M&S: More generous in the hips—UK 16 may fit better
-
River Island: Runs slim on the waist—UK 18 recommended
-
Zara: Often tighter through the thigh—UK 20 for comfort
You’d never know this just from browsing or using standard size charts.

Not sure whether wide-leg or skinny will suit you best? Tellar lets you compare multiple size options and cut styles based on your proportions—so if your waist is smaller than your hips, you’ll know to avoid cuts that dig in or gape.

-
Are shopping for high-rise, cropped, or barrel-leg styles
-
Want to avoid trial-and-error returns
