Measuring your jeans size

    I'm really confused on sizes and I haven't been this bothered by inches since I was 14 and alone with a ruler.

    So I took a tape measure and put it around the lowest part of my waist and it was a tight 34", more comfortable 36".

    Thing is, I'm anywhere between a 32” and 34" - depending on brand and trouser. For example I've a pair of jeans from Tommy Hilfiger that are 34/34 and they're a bit too long and big in the waist.

    I'm not overweight, if anything I'm a bit too thin for my liking, even.

    Am I doing things wrong or something when it comes to measuring?

    What is the narrowest part of your waist - measure there.

    Every brand had different sizing. I'd say I have jeans ranging from size US 00 to Irish size 10 in my wardrobe. It's just a matter of trial and error in each store to find the right one.
