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

Great jeans, bad smell

"I love almost everything about these jeans. The fit is perfect. I am 5'5". With a sneaker I get a bit of a casual break in the leg or a dressier straight fall with a heel. I have an 8" waist to hip ratio and the fit in the waist is perfect. I am a size 14 in most brands, and between 12 and 14 at US. I'm glad I took the website and review advice and ordered the 12. The fabric is substantial and the stretch makes it very comfortable. The only downside is the strong chemical smell, I assume from a mold and insect retardant. I have washed them twice, sprayed with alcohol and hung outside in sun for two days an it is only now starting to fade."

Great fit

"Great fit, although the rise is a little higher than I need - still happy overall"

— Alex G. (5/5)

Have worn almost every day since they arrived

"I was looking for jeans that don't brush the ground when I wear flats and these are the perfect length. I am between sizes and sized down, definitely size down on these. Very comfortable and fairly wide leg at ankles (for straight leg jeans anyway)."

— Kendall B. (5/5)

Very comfy, very generous fit

"Very comfy, very generous fit I almost have to go down a size. Only a 4 star bc the washing instructions say not to tumble dry but to iron them instead. Not a fan of high maintenance jeans but they’re cute!"

— Laurell K. (4/5)

Love them!

"Great quality. I love these high-rise jeans and that they come in the perfect inseam. So tired of jeans that are too long dragging on the floor."

— Katharine H. (5/5)

So comfy.

"Nice and stretchy and comfy, like leggings comfy. I sized down two sizes after reading reviews and they are just right. One star off because some of the stitching is sloppy."

— Lynn (4/5)

Great fit

"Love the material weight and stretch."

— Nancy S. (5/5)

Well made jeans

"They fit perfectly. I got 2 pair and have been wearing them all the time. They have held up well to all the snow I've been walking through. Highly recommend."

— Jennifer S. (5/5)

Disappointed. Sizing and fit not at all as described.

"The fit and stretch is my main issues with this denim. For the price I spent, I am overall quite disappointed. I followed the size guide with my exact measurements and followed the recommendation to size down. After wearing only twice, I think I should have sized down three total sizes to make these work. I have worn these jeans twice and both times, they look and fit great when I first put them on. However, after maybe two hours of wear they are severely stretched, gapping around my butt (which I have NEVER experienced as I am very curvy) and quite literally falling off my hips!! Additionally, the denim is ALREADY pilling between my thighs after two wears. I am so disappointed with the fit and quality and ofcourse since they looked great when I first put them on, I have already worn and washed them and can’t return them. This was my first time ordering from Universal Standard and I will be hesitant to order again if the quality and fit of their products is going to be so severely unpredictable, especially with the price tag."

Great jeans!

"Really comfortable with just the right amount of stretch."
