To measure the length of pants, place a tape measure at the top of the pants waist. Hold the tape securely and then bring it down to the bottom of the pants. You can also measure to one inch from the ground. When measuring pants length, be sure to follow the seam.
The first three measurements are the most common, the waist, hips and inseam, but sometimes a thigh measurement is also needed. 1  Waist: Measure around the smallest portion of your waist. Although it's higher than you're going to wear your jeans, this is the figure that determines most waist measurements. So, be careful not to hold the measuring tape lower, or you may end up with loose-waisted jeans. If your measuring existing jeans, lay them flat and measure the waist from side to side and then double that figure. Hips: Measure around the widest portion of your hips. This is usually just below the top of your hip bones. If your measuring existing jeans just lay them flat and measure at the widest point of the jeans and double that measurement. Inseam length: Measure the inside of your leg from your crotch to the floor wearing the shoes you will wear with the jeans. If you have an existing pair of jeans lay them flat and measure them from the crotch seam to the bottom of the jeans. Thigh width: Wrap the measuring tape around the widest portion of one of your thighs.
