The Complete Denim Fit Guide

Rise. Seat. Thigh. Leg opening. Length. Understanding these five elements makes finding great jeans much easier.

01 — Rise

The rise measures the relationship between the crotch and waistband.

It influences where jeans sit on your body and changes the overall proportion of an outfit.

02 — Seat

A good seat should feel secure without excessive pulling or unnecessary fabric.

03 — Thigh

The thigh measurement determines much of the comfort and character of a jean.

Slim styles sit closer to the leg.

Relaxed and baggy styles intentionally create additional space.

04 — Leg Shape

This is where the major silhouettes separate.

FIT THIGH LEG CHARACTER
Slim Close Narrow Refined
Straight Regular Straight Timeless
Relaxed Roomy Straight Contemporary
Baggy Loose Wide Statement
Wide Leg Relaxed Wide Modern
Flare Fitted Flared Elevated

05 — Length

Length changes the entire silhouette.

A shorter hem creates a cleaner break, while a longer inseam creates more stacking and a relaxed appearance.

Find Your VUMINOUS Fit

Don't choose based solely on the size printed on the label.

Compare the garment measurements with a pair of jeans you already own and love.
