Pants labels are easier for men's W x L sizing than women's numeric sizing. Always compare garment measurements when available.

How to measure before choosing a size

Measure waist where the waistband should sit, then compare with natural waist if the pants are high-rise.
Measure inseam from crotch seam to desired hem length.
Check rise, thigh, and stretch for fitted pants.
If hemming is expected, choose the waist fit first and alter length later.

FAQ

What does 32 x 32 mean in pants?

It usually means a 32-inch waist and a 32-inch inseam.

Is inseam the same as pant length?

Inseam is the inside leg measurement from crotch to hem. Total pant length also includes rise.

Should pants size be based on waist or hips?

For fitted women's pants, check both waist and hips. For many men's pants, waist plus inseam is the main fit system.
