1. Things You Need Before Measuring

Before starting:

✔ A flexible measuring tape
✔ A flat surface (table or bed)
✔ Your best fitting jeans
✔ Notebook or phone to note measurements

Pro Tip: Always measure jeans laid flat, not while wearing.

2. How To Measure Jeans Waist
How we measure

Step-by-Step:

  1. Button the jeans completely.
  2. Lay them flat on a smooth surface.
  3. Smooth out wrinkles.
  4. Measure straight across the waistband.
  5. Multiply by 2.

If flat waist measures 14 inches →
14 × 2 = 28 inches waist size.

Important:
Low-waist jeans and high-waist jeans measure differently because their rise differs.

👉 While shopping at Dickkny, always check whether the jeans are high waist, mid waist, or low waist.

3. How To Measure Hip Size

  1. Lay jeans flat.
  2. Measure 7–9 inches below waistband.
  3. Measure straight across from one side to the other.
  4. Multiply by 2.

This gives total hip measurement.

Hip measurement is extremely important for:

  • Curvy fit
  • Slim fit
  • Bootcut jeans
  • Wide leg jeans

4. How To Measure Inseam (Length)

Inseam determines how long your jeans will be.

Steps:

  1. Turn jeans slightly sideways.
  2. Measure from crotch seam to bottom hem.
  3. Do NOT multiply.

Common inseam lengths:

  • 26–28 inches (Ankle length)
  • 30 inches (Regular)
  • 32+ inches (Tall)

5. How To Measure Front Rise

Rise determines where jeans sit on your waist.

  1. Measure from crotch seam to top of waistband (front).
  2. Do not stretch.

Typical ranges:

  • 7–8 inches → Low rise
  • 9–10 inches → Mid rise
  • 11–12+ inches → High rise

High rise jeans give tummy support and premium silhouette.

6. How To Measure Thigh

  1. Measure 1–2 inches below crotch seam.
  2. Measure across.
  3. Multiply by 2.

This is important for:

  • Skinny jeans
  • Straight fit jeans
  • Bootcut jeans

If thigh area is tight, go one size up.

7. How To Measure Leg Opening

  1. Measure bottom hem width.
  2. Multiply by 2.

Examples:

  • 10–12 inches → Skinny fit
  • 14–16 inches → Straight fit
  • 18+ inches → Wide leg

Difference Between Body Measurement & Jeans Measurement

Many buyers get confused.

Body Waist = 28 inches

Jeans Waist (flat) = 14 inches × 2 = 28 inches

But some brands add ease (stretch fabric).

Dickkny women’s jeans use premium stretch denim, so the fitting is comfortable yet structured.

How To Measure Your Body for Jeans

If you don’t have jeans:

Waist:

Measure around natural waist (not tight).

Hip:

Measure widest part of hips.

Measure from inner thigh to ankle.
