YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Fashion This is how to find jeans that fit without trying them on By You Magazine - April 1, 2022 Remember when shops were closed during lockdown? Even when they eventually reopened, there were some fairly major changes to them, one being that changing rooms were closed. Obviously that was necessary at the time to minimise the spread of the virus, but it also meant that we couldn’t try anything on in the shops. Getty Images Not being able to try items on in stores proves especially tricky for certain clothing items, such as jeans, where the fit is incredibly important. We all know how hard it is to find the perfect-fitting pair as it is, let alone if we can’t even try them on until we get home. At the time, one TikTok user revealed a genius hack to find jeans that fit well, without trying them on, avoiding that annoying second trip to return ill-fitting purchases. TikTok user @billiexnewland posted two videos on the matter, with the first showing viewers how to find the right waistband size. The hack states that if you can snugly fit your forearm inside the waistband without any space left over, this is a good indicator that this is the right size for you. @billiexnewland Finding your #perfect pair of #jeans is now a breeze!#tiktokfashion #styletips #fashionhacks #hack #moreyouknow #viral #tutorial #lifehack #fyp original sound – Billie Newland The second video tells us how to find the perfect jeans length. She says that if you hold both jeans at the ankles and stretch your arms apart and your arms are not bent nor is their leftover jeans at the end, this is a tell-tale sign that this is the ideal length for you. @billiexnewland Find your #perfect #jeans length! No guesswork! #fashionhacks #tiktokfashion #lifehack #hack #tutorial #styletips #moreyouknow #fyp #viral original sound – Billie Newland Now, we will say here that we know just as much as anyone how much of an enigma it is to nail the perfect jeans fit and that every body is different, so this won’t be a hard and fast rule that will work for everyone. However, it’s an excellent starting point for guiding you towards your best fit. And if you find changing rooms as off-putting as we do, it’s a great way to avoid them.
