Calculate your pants size
Measuring is knowing! To find your perfect trouser size, you first need to measure yourself. When calculating your trouser size, you’ll need a measuring tape and most importantly: yourself!
Women’s pants size
To calculate the correct women’s trouser size, hip measurements and waist measurements are taken into account. First, measure your waist by placing a measuring tape around your waist. Make sure the measuring tape is not too tight or too loose and read the centimeters. Then you measure the hip circumference. You do this by tying a measuring tape around your hips. Again, not too loose or too tight. Also read this centimeter. Now you can calculate your trouser size in the table below.
| Waist Size(cm) | Hip Circumference(cm) | Pants size | International size | Jeans size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 – 62 | 83 – 86 | 32 | XXS | 24 – 25 |
| 63-65 | 87-91 | 34 | XS | 26 – 27 |
| 66-69 | 92 – 96 | 36 | S | 28 – 29 |
| 70-73 | 97 – 100 | 38 | m | 29 – 30 |
| 74 – 76 | 101 – 104 | 40 | L | 31 |
| 77-80 | 105 – 107 | 42 | XL | 32 |
| 81 – 85 | 108 – 112 | 44 | XXL | 33 |
| 86-89 | 113 – 116 | 46 | 3XL | 34 |
| 90-93 | 117-120 | 48 | 4XL | 36 |
| 94 – 98 | 120 – 124 | 50 | 5XL | 38 |
For women’s pants, length is rarely considered. This is the case for women’s jeans. Do you still want to know which length is right for you? Then look at the size chart to calculate your jeans size.

Men’s pants size
Calculating trouser sizes for men works a little differently than it does for women. You’ll need your waist measurement, but also your inside leg length to find pants that are the right size. First measure your waist by placing a measuring tape around your waist. Remember the number of centimeters. Then measure your inner leg length. This is the number of centimeters from your crotch to your ankle. You will also need these centimeters to find out which men’s trousers will suit you. You can now read the correct trouser size in the table below.
| Waist Size(cm) | Inner leg length(cm) | Pants size | International size | Jeans size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70-73 | 77-79 | 42 | XXS | 27 |
| 74-77 | 78-80 | 44 | XS | 28 – 29 |
| 78-81 | 79-81 | 46 | S | 30 – 31 |
| 82 – 85 | 80-82 | 48 | m | 32 |
| 86-89 | 81-83 | 50 | L | 33 – 34 |
| 90-94 | 82 – 84 | 52 | XL | 36 |
