- Inseam: Measure from the top inside seam to the desired hem while standing straight.
Fit Notes
Stretch fabrics may fit across more than one size, while structured or woven pieces may feel closer to the body. For an intentionally relaxed or oversized product, the garment measurements can be larger than the body measurements above. If you fall between sizes, consider the fabric, desired fit and the area where you usually need the most room.
Shoes, denim and swimwear can use brand-specific sizing. Swimwear must retain all tags and the hygienic liner if a return is requested.
