Fit Guide

The reference section

Most fit problems are not a sizing mistake. They are a mismatch between one measurement on your body and one measurement on the garment. This section names those measurements so you can check before you buy.
  • Measurements

    How to measure your waist, hip and inseam, and how to read front rise, back rise and leg opening on a size chart.

  • Body shapes

    What changes for apple, pear, rectangle and inverted triangle shapes, and for petite, tall, curvy and plus proportions.

  • Fit problems

    Rolling waistbands, waist gap, digging in, see-through fabric, bunching and sagging - the cause and what actually fixes each.

  • Fabrics

    What elastane percentage does, why ponte behaves differently from a legging knit, and which fabrics recover after a day of wear.

  • Care

    Washing, drying and storage decisions that decide whether stretch pants last one season or four.
