The Jeans Fit Card

Your jeans can technically fit and still make the entire outfit feel wrong.

The problem may be the rise, waistband, leg line or fabric. But it may also be the sweater above them, the hem length, the shoe underneath them or the fact that the pair performs no useful role in your wardrobe.

This free one-page card gives you nine practical questions to help you separate a genuinely wrong pair from good jeans that simply need a better outfit or a small alteration.

Use the card to check:
1. Whether the rise balances your torso and legs
2. Whether the waistband, hip and seat fit cleanly
3. Whether the leg creates an intentional line
4. Whether the outfit’s volume has a clear boundary
5. Whether the hem and shoe work together
6. Whether the wash suits the job of the outfit
7. Whether the fabric holds its intended shape
8. Whether the outfit has one source of structure
9. Whether the pair fills a real wardrobe role

Save it to your phone and open it in the fitting room, before an alteration or whenever a pair of jeans feels slightly wrong and you cannot explain why.
