Preferably in KG but if you only know your weight in stones and lbs that would still be helpful. I'm on a weight loss journey and I am confused about jean sizes! Thank you :)

I fluctuate between 11 and 11 & a half stone I think. Size 12.

TeeBagGer · 20/05/2024 14:35

I’m 5ft 9 and when I was 10 stone I wore a 12 and at 9 stone I wear a 10. Even when I was 7 stone I was only a 6-8.

5'11. I am 69-70 kg. HTH

I was about 14st at that size, but it was mostly muscle and boob. I had a size 10 waist but averaged a sz14 over my measurements. Those were the days.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 20/05/2024 14:35

There's such a difference in sizing between shops, just try them on and if they fit then keep them if not don't let it spoil your day.

I'm 5'5 and my weight fluctuates between 9, 9lb - 9,13lb.

I wear a size 10 to 12 depending on time of the month, water retention, what I've eaten and how much booze I've had lately!

buffyslayer · 20/05/2024 14:46

I was a size 14 at 14st 9 and 5ft 10

LauderSyme · 20/05/2024 14:56

I am 5'9" and my weight has varied over the years:

At 60 kg I am size 10
At 66kg I am size 12
At 73kg I am size 14
At 79kg I am size 16

chatenoire · 20/05/2024 15:00

I'm substantially shorter (5ft3) and I'm a size 6/8 and weight 65-67kg

LauderSyme · 20/05/2024 15:01

When I was 60kg I was very thin, you could see all my ribs and my hips and collar bone jutted out.

At 79kg I feel too heavy but people still somehow describe me as slim even then. I think being tall I am lucky to be able to carry the weight.

I am most comfortable and think I look my best when I am a generous size 12.

I'm not quite that tall, but as there's huge variation in both body composition, shape and weight and the fit of jeans, finding out what a load of other people who are the same height as you weigh isn't going to tell you anything about what size jeans are going to fit you. They can't even make all the jeans that are the same style and have the same size label in fit the same.

Proper 100% cotton jeans will fit very differently from lycra enhanced legging type jeans where you can size down significantly. Why jeans in particular?

I'm 5ft 10, size 14 and weight 12st 10lb

IncognitoPanda · 20/05/2024 15:09

At 82kg i am a solid 12 / occasional 14 at 175cm. When I was 75kg I was still a 12.

whatnnoww · 20/05/2024 15:10

5ft10 and have fluctuated between 9.5 and 10.75 stone always worn size 12 jeans and trousers with the exception of Next where I’m a 10 .

hopingforthemillion · 20/05/2024 15:11

So interesting to see the variations.
I am 5”9, 11st and a size 8/10.
I’ve always thought I was heavy and so rarely get on the scales ….but have recently after a baby out of curiosity!

blobby10 · 20/05/2024 15:14

I'm 5ft 9" with no discernible waist! At 11 stones (35 years ago) I was an M&S size 14 , at 12 stones (15 years ago) I was an M&S 12-14, at 13 stones I am am M&S 14-16, Next 18, Peacocks 14, Phase Eight 14, etc etc. I get my jeans from lands End Clothing as they are an American brand and it feels good to buy a size 12!

Size of clothing is different for everyone though - do you like your clothes loose or tight? Are you muscular or fat? How tight can you bear a waistband? They will all affect your clothes size.

This. My 5% Lycra jeans are size 12, 2% or 3% Lycra are 14 and 16; the pure cotton ones are 16 and 18 (and I have too many jeans!)

TwitTwoooooooh · 20/05/2024 15:19

I'm 5'9, Size 10/12 & 11stone.

Inlimboin50s · 20/05/2024 15:20

I'm 5'10 and a half,size 12 and 11 stone.
Am aiming to lose a few more pounds so a 12 isnt snug.

A biggish size 14.

Hidinginbed · 20/05/2024 15:22

5 ft 9.5 and weigh 10 stone 5. I’m a 27 inch waist which is usually an 8/10 depending on the amount of stretch in the jeans… Next & Boden jeans are massive, for example, more expensive brands are harder to button up!

I don’t think the questions aimed at you considering your quite a bit shorter lol
