At Trilogy we know the most important part of choosing a pair of jeans is the fit which is why we've asked our experienced style advisors their top tips to achieve the desired fit:.
Watch the waistband: Make sure the jeans are snug and hugging the waist but not too tight that the jeans are cutting into you. Walk around in your jeans and sit down in them to make sure the fit is comfortable to move around in. If you find the jeans are sagging at the waistband, or you keep having to pull them up, then you probably need to go down a size. A good measure is to see if you can fit a hand down the waistband at the back of your jeans, if you can do this the jeans might be too big for you and you may want to try a size down.
On the thighs: Check the crotch of the jeans is snug and not hanging down with too much loose fabric. You should also check the bum, back pockets and front pocket area to see if they are too tight or wrinkling because they are too loose. Too tight or loose: All jeans should be a little bit snug when you try them on. That's because after a few times wearing them, they will naturally stretch a bit.
If you struggle to zip them up or can't bend down properly then they are too tight. They should be comfortable, fit in the crotch and be slightly snug. Hem lengths: Our best advice is to try the jeans on wearing the shoes you will wear with them.
If you find they are too long, we have an alterations service to help you achieve the perfect length. What is the best rise for jeans?

A mid-rise usually fits right around or immediately beneath the navel and a high-rise jean, sits at or slightly above the navel.
In recent years the high-rise has gained popularity due to them being particularly flattering, stylish and loved by fashion editors and celebrities.
