Is Nudie Jeans true size?

Nudie Jeans typically recommend sticking to your true size based on their measurements. However, their sizing is focused on the waist measurement in inches, unlike brands that use a lettered waist size (e.g., 32W). 

To ensure the perfect fit, consider your desired snugness level. For a relaxed fit, stick to your true size, as Nudie denim has natural stretch. For a snug fit, you could consider sizing down one inch, but be cautious not to strain the denim. If adjustments are needed, Nudie offers free repairs for life, providing a custom fit tailored by their experts.

What if Nudie Jeans are the wrong size?

No worries! Nudie Jeans offers a 14-day return policy and 30-day if you are a member, allowing you to easily exchange or return them if they don’t fit quite right. Just remember to keep the tags on and avoid washing them before returning.

Is it better to buy jeans tight or loose?

The decision between tight or loose jeans depends on personal preference and the specific Nudie fit chosen. Loose fits offer comfort and versatility for everyday wear, while snug fits can hug curves for a more streamlined silhouette. 

Nudie Jeans provides a range of fits, so finding the perfect balance between comfort and style is possible. If unsure, opting for slightly loose is recommended, as you can always add a belt for a more fitted look.

Is size 28 in jeans small or medium?

As sizing varies across brands, a size 28 in Nudie Jeans may differ from other brands. Generally corresponding to a medium in terms of waist size (in inches), it’s advisable to consult their size guide based on your actual waist measurement for the most accurate fit.

Which size is S or M?

Nudie Jeans departs from traditional S, M, L sizing, opting for measurements in inches. Neither S nor M directly aligns with their sizing system. To find the right Nudie size, refer to your waist measurement in inches and consult their size guide, which details measurements for each fit, such as Lean Dean or Grim Tim, aiding you in making the perfect choice.

What size is a 32 in jeans?

In Nudie Jeans, a size 32 signifies a 32-inch waist measurement. However, it’s crucial to note that fits can vary; for instance, a size 32 in “Grim Tim” (skinny fit) feels different than in “Roughneck” (relaxed fit). Always refer to the specific fit guide for the style you’re interested in for

accurate details.

Is 32 a good waist size?

Determining a “good” waist size is subjective, contingent on individual body types and preferences. A 32-inch waist is generally considered average for men and falls within the medium range in most brands. Nudie Jeans provides various fits, allowing you to choose between a snug 32 in a skinny style or a looser fit in a relaxed style, depending on your comfort and preference.

How do I know my jean size?

To ascertain your Nudie size, measure your waist in inches. Wrap a tape around your natural waistline snugly, slightly above your belly button. Once measured, consult the Nudie size guide for the specific fit you desire, revealing the corresponding size in inches and suggesting the preferred snugness level for each fit.

Is a 32-inch waist big for a female?

The appropriateness of a 32-inch waist for a female varies, considering diverse body types and preferences. Depending on height and build, a 32-inch waist may fall within the average or slightly above-average range. Nudie Jeans caters to diverse body shapes, ensuring comfortable and stylish fits, emphasizing that comfort and confidence are paramount. Opt for a size that feels good and enhances your confidence!
