How do I find my size at Universal Standard?

We recommend measuring yourself for the best fit. Measure around your bust at the fullest point, your waist at the narrowest part, and your hips at the fullest part. Compare your measurements to our size chart to find your perfect fit. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL). If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Visit our Find My Size page at universalstandard.com/pages/find-my-size for detailed guidance.

What is Universal Sizing?

We thought conventional sizing seemed skewed, so we shifted the spotlight to reflect the real bell curve. If the average woman wears a size 18, then that should be called a Medium, right? Our sample size is an 18, and we engineer every single size from there to ensure the perfect fit for all of US. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL in Universal Standard sizing).

Reviews

nice cut, weird pockets

"If I never needed to use pockets, these would be my all-time favorite jeans. They are cut just right to be stylish, attractive, and also be wearable to the office. The material has nice stretch, is comfy, wears and washes well, etc. The fabric does attract slightly more dog fur than a lot of denim, but I'll overlook it. My real issue with this pair is that the front pockets are so high they are annoying to get into. I end up putting my phone in the back pocket, but then I forget and sit down which is problematic."

Love these jeans!

"I originally bought these jeans 3 years ago in 2023. I still have them (although they’re a bit faded and less comfy now as my size has changed). I’m here today to buy them again because they are my favorite fit! I’m very curvy with a much smaller waist than I have tights/hips/butt. There’s are so perfect!"

— Tabby (5/5)

Huge fan!

"I LOVE these jeans. Bought them in three colors. I wear them for work because they look a little dressy by are as comfy and versatile as regular jeans. The buttons in the front make for very cute detailing if you like to tuck in your shirts."

Too short, too wide, tight waist

"US designs for the hourglass-shaped woman. As usual, I found the waist tight, the hips and thighs too big, the legs far too wide, and the length too short. I do give a star for not having a metal button, which I find supremely uncomfortable."

— Annie (2/5)

Very Flattering Jeans!

"I love the color and the shape of these jeans - it's a really flattering silhouette on my body. My only regret is I missed out on the French Blue in my size - i hope US brings them back! The buttons are sewn on pretty flimsily, as others have noted, but I rethreaded them to make sure they stay on."

"fits well, cute, too many buttons to deal with when going to the bathroom!"

The fit and cut of

"The fit and cut of these jeans are GREAT. True to size. Nice higher/mid rise waist. Love the wide leg, it's just right. Where I'm closer to a 20 in the Carrie high waist jean, I'm a 22 in the Charlie."

— Jennifer K. (5/5)

Like the look and stretch

"Wish they had shorter lengths"
