Jeans are a tricky thing to buy: they are always either too long, too short, have a saggy ass or just plain wrong all over.

 

And most of us simply can't buy a pair without trying it on first, making online shopping a no-no.

 

But what if you've just spotted the most perfect looking pair on Asos? Or the black (half prices) ones on Boohoo won't stop calling you?

 

Well, that's what the following guide is for - stick to it and you'll safe in the knowledge that the next time you open your parcel they WILL fit. 

 

1. Measure yourself 

Take all measurements: hips, waist and inseam from the crotch down before clicking buy. Once you know these you will be one step closer to finding the perfect pair. Sure, once they fit at the fullest part of your body the rest can be altered. 

 

 

2. Check the size charts 

This is where your measurements will come into their own. Don't just look at the size 8, 10, 12 etc - check the measurements underneath instead. Remember, sizing can vary depending on designer so don't rely on your usual size.

 

 

3. Don't forget about length

No matter how good they fit on the bum, your jeans will look awful if they fall too short or too long. Yes, you can always take them to a tailor (if they're really worth it) but sometimes that can be more of a hassle. 

 

 

4. Do check the fabric 

For instance, you may need to buy a smaller size if the jeans are a stretchy fabric or go one size up if they are tight skinny. 

 

 

5. Make sure you go for a store with a good return policy

No matter how much measuring you do... certain jeans just don't look nice on - so do check the store's return policy before making your purchase.

 

No longer will you have to fear your delivery, or have to send back ANOTHER pair because they just don't fit; finally you can actually look forward to opening the parcel, knowing that they will be perfect.
