Gap jeans, i'm normally an 8, do gap come up big or small?

[OracleInaCoracle]

title says it all really. I wear a size 10 in topshop jeans (I am an hourglass) but am an 8 otherwise. I'm looking at their sizing chart and going cross-eyed!

Go one size smaller in Gap jeans, and if you're getting bootfit/boyfit/easyfit I would recommend 2 sizes smaller :)

Also Gap size in US, so if you are a UK8 you will need a US4, one size smaller will be a US2!

HTH and happy shopping!

phew, thank you. would a 0 be too small then? they dont have a 2 in stock.

The sizing in Gap is a nightmare!

Their trousers are sized by waist and leg length rather than size 8/10. I am usually an 8/10 and when I buy skinny jeans from Gap I buy a 28/32. However I have tried on other styles and I can easily fit into a 26/32.

I tried on a skirt last week. I tried on a size 8-far too big that it almost fell down, so I tried a 6 which fitted well. But there is not a chance in hell I am a size 6other than in my dreams

So I would say go and try them on. If you are internet buying, measure your waist and leg length and buy a couple of sizes to try.

they are the long and lean jeans a size 0 is (apparently ) a size 6-8 why cant shops just work to standard sizing?

Oh sorry x posted with everyone. I have never seen jeans sized a 8 or 10. But then haven't been on hte internet. I would say a US 0 would be tiny. Unless you are Victoria Beckham they will be too small

Sorry I meant never been on the Gap website, not never been on the internet

A 0 would be too small for you - it is smaller than a UK size 6.

I would say you should try a 2 and a 4 if you can.

in store clothes are marked with a uk size on the tags

sometimes they are bigger or smaller than you expect - i have straight leg jeans that are 'my' size, and have just bought chinos in the size smaller. Ditto blouses, sometimes medium, sometimes extra small

i would be loath to buy anything online unless you had tried it on or were willing to send it back til you got one that worked

I have Curve cotton work trousers in a 14 and they're a bit big. Have the Chino's too and they're exactly right so I suspect you need to try on tbh. As much variation as anywhere else really.

here I might get the 8 (uk 10-12) and wear a belt. my legs are quite chunky.

Depends what style of jeans you buy, I think. I'm a UK 10 in sexy boot and long & lean, but 12 in straight leg and skinny. I'm an hourglass shape too.

There's this which I find super useful as a 'generl' guide to what size to get from where...

Standard Sizing

I have worked at Gap for the last 6 years, and the reason they have US sizing is that they're a US company... Pure and simple :)

Try a US2/US4, their returns policy is very fair as well, full refund within 30 days.

Depends on the style and the rinse. I can be a 0 or a 2 in there - very much depends on the cut.

Am an 8 in toshop and a 25 in premium if that helps.

have just measured, waist is 69cm and hips 92cm so I am a 6, but they dont have jeans in a six 8 it is then!

I'd always go very tight in gap as my experience of their jeans is that they stretch enormously!

I am a size 12 with muscular thighs and i get a US8 - so I think you should get a 6 or not bother - the next size up always looks crap on me, and they seem to stretch a bit with wear anyway.

mrsCB is right - jeans sizing is a nightmare there. Which style are you looking at? The skinny ones tend to come up smaller than the others. (I don't just mean they're skinny) - the long and lean are massive, as are the sexy boyfriend jeans.

The sexy boyfriend are hilariously big aren't they? I could have got me and half of you in the size 0.

And agree the skinny fit are more true to size

Ooh, bugger. The long and lean (I love the shape) or the sexy bootcut. I just need a new pair of jeans for general wear.

Go for a US0 in Long and Lean :)

I have the 00s in the sexy boyfriend ones, and I do love them mrsCB, but am in negotiations with a friend in the states to get me the 00 petites, which they don't do over here. They are my new best thing!
