Low-Waist (Low Rise) Jeans Sizing

How to Determine Size for Low-Waist Jeans?

Woman's low-waist jeans (also called "low rise jeans" or "super low rise jeans") simply hit lower on the body (lower on the hips). Because of this, they often require different waist measurement than regular jeans.

As a rule of thumb:

Measure 1.5 inches lower than your natural waistline when measuring waist size for low waist/low rise jeans.

For determining your jeans size (waist and inseam), see our Women's Jeans Size Chart or Men's Jeans Size Chart.

Note: For some jeans models, this may have been taken into account in the sizing.
