What size is jeans 28?

I can never decide whether to go for 28 or 29. I'm a 10 in dresses but slightly wide of hip!! Hourglass on a good day, pear on a bad one.

It totally depends on the jeans. I am a size 24 in some and yesterday tried on a 26 and it was sprayed onto me
if you can let me know the make I might have an idea
If you are a modern 10 I would probably think the 29's

minipie · 04/09/2020 15:30

I wear a 27 or 28 and I’m a size 8 but a little pear shaped

stovetopespresso · 04/09/2020 15:34

I think its a 10-12?

BertiesLanding · 04/09/2020 15:42

I'd say it's an 8

Lurkingforawhile · 04/09/2020 15:49

Should be a ten but is probably an eight!

Lauren83 · 04/09/2020 15:51

10

pomegranatefizz · 04/09/2020 16:14

I think 10? I'm in 29s and I'm between a 10/12 - in Levi's

AnaViaSalamanca · 04/09/2020 16:19

Depends. This side of the Atlantic, 28 would be a 10. US probably a 4. French maybe a 40. But these days even within one brand, a size 28 pair os jeans doesn't mean the waist is actually 28!

ballroompink · 04/09/2020 16:27

I'm a pear shaped 8-10 and 28 is what I would go for although my Whistles barrel jeans are 27s as they seem to be roomy.

ZaraW · 04/09/2020 17:02

28" is generally a 10. It does depend on the brand I'm 27" in Muji.

gower4 · 04/09/2020 17:17

Really helpful, thank you. Paige jeans. I think I need to go up one size.

I'd say a 10 as a 25 is a 6 and 26 is an 8. I think it's 4 cm between sizes except for between a 6 and 8.

Ellapaella · 04/09/2020 17:25

I would be a 27 in Levi's and I'm a 10. 28 is between 10-12 but depends on the jeans. TopShop I wear a 29.

MinnieMousse · 04/09/2020 17:32

Depends on your body shape. I am an 8-10 in most clothing but 28 or 29 in jeans because I am straight up and down with no waist so things with tight buttons around the middle are difficult for me. It's sometimes annoying because a lot of jeans that fit me around the waist are baggy on the bum and thighs.

whirlwindwallaby · 04/09/2020 17:38

Depends on your body shape. I do agree with this. I am a 4 on the hips, 6 on the waist and 8 on top. Skinny jeans are okay but some others are baggy on the hips.

EmmaStone · 04/09/2020 22:04

I wear a 27 in Paige jeans, I'm a 10/12, wear 28/32 in Levi's 501s.

Itsokthanks · 04/09/2020 22:07

28 is a 10 but it varies in brands. 29is in-between a 10 and 12

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/09/2020 22:31

I’m a 10 and wear 28 in Levi’s, but like pp a 27 in Whistles barrel legs. I would size up to a 30 in Topshop probably.

roundandsideways · 04/09/2020 22:41

I'm a size 8, and generally go for a size 26, sometimes a 24, up usually a 26

roundandsideways · 04/09/2020 22:41

Size 24 in Whistles

Verite1 · 04/09/2020 23:24

I’m a size 10 and generally a 28 in jeans. I can wear a 29 but they tend to be a bit loose around the waist.

Ron1984 · 04/09/2020 23:34

I’m a size 8-10 and always in 27 jeans

user1471548941 · 05/09/2020 11:24

I’m a 10 but hippy and usually comfortable in a 28.
