FAQ

The size charts for NYDJ jeans depend on your height, body type, and whether you are shopping for Missy, Plus or Petite sized clothing. 

The NYDJ fit is specifically designed to give women a flattering and slimming look by cutting the waistband slightly lower and adding extra room to the seat of the jeans.

With petite, regular, and long cuts, the length of the pants overall varies, but the waist and hip measurements are usually the same per size.

If you are between two measurements, it is recommended to select the smaller size.

Missy sizes typically range from 0-14 while Plus sizes are from 14W-24W.

Slim fit jeans are fitted around the thighs while straight cut jeans are cut straight and loose around the thighs.

Yes, NYDJ provides options for extra long inseams on some of their jeans styles.

Most NYDJ jeans are made of stretchy material designed to fit comfortably and move with you.

The ideal jeans style for any body shape depends on personal preference and individual body type. Recognizing the shape of your body can help you find the right type of jeans that will flatter your figure.

The wash size measurements for each NYDJ jean style vary slightly; check the product details on the website in order to find out the exact measurements.

To measure your waist for jeans, wrap a flexible measuring tape around the narrowest part of your waist—usually just above your belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight, and make sure it stays level all the way around. This measurement (in inches) will help you find the most accurate jeans size

To measure your hips, stand with your feet together and wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips and seat—usually about 7–9 inches below your natural waistline. Keep the tape straight and level for the most accurate measurement.

Order your NYDJ jeans one size smaller than you would typically wear.

The inseam is the length from the crotch seam down the leg to the bottom of the leg opening. It determines how long your jeans will be. To measure it, lay a pair of jeans flat and measure from the crotch seam to the hem along the inside leg. You can also use your height to estimate your ideal inseam.

Our plus size jeans are available in sizes 14W-28W and are designed to fit and flatter women who wear denim in that size range. They're made with the same inseam lengths as our jeans in regular sizes with adjustments that consider the overall body proportions of women who wear plus sizes.

Our petite jeans are designed for women 5'4" and under to ensure a flattering and comfortable fit for smaller frames. They're made in shorter lengths with adjustments that consider the overall body proportions of women who wear petite sizes.

For NYDJ jeans, sizing generally corresponds to waist measurements as follows:

  • 25-inch waist: Size 00

  • 28-inch waist: Size 4
  • 29-inch waist: Size 6
  • 30-inch waist: Size 8
  • 31-inch waist: Size 10

If you're between sizes, consider sizing down, as NYDJ jeans are made with stretch and a smoothing fit to enhance your shape.
