right, iv just measured myself and my hips are 32, im really confused.

that size thing^doesnt help at all. if it on there im blind lol.
I work at Topshop, I might be able to help :smile:

Basically the 25 - 34 sizes are WAIST sizes. So you need to measure around your waist, that's nearer your belly button, your narrowest part. Your hips are the widest part, so don't measure that bit or they won't fit!

Do you know what jeans size you take? For example I take a 28/30 in jeans, 28 being the waist and 30 being the leg length. If you can find some jeans that fit you in your wardrobe, their waist size might be on the care label. That should give you some idea! :smile:

^^ooo thanks, iv just measured myself im a size 34 around the waist. but i wont exactly be wearing the shorts around my waist though.

i am a size 8 in jeans depending on the store, and iv just looked through my jeans and none of htem have a waist size.
iv never bought a pair of jeans from topshop before so im not sure.
Erm, I'm pretty sure 34" waist ISN'T a size 8, more like a size 12/14? The waist is the narrowest part of your mid-section. It's higher than you think, like in this image: http://images1.comstock.com/Imagewarehouse/BX/SITECS/NLWMCompingVersions/44501-44750/bxp44740.jpg


For a size 8, you're more likely to be a 34" HIP, not waist.

on the topshop size guide, they've written the measurements in centimetres so u need to convert it to inches

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a size 8 would be a 26 I think. It's the waist measurement definitely. I'm a size 12 and my jeans are all 30 inch waists.
Your hips are 32" and your waist is 34"? Do you have ANY idea what your waist and hips are?

Your hips aren't your boobs btw.

That's about as accurate as we're going to get. I'm between a size 8 and 10, and I wear 28 inch waist.

There is NO WAY that your waist is a size 34 if you're an 8. Its the slimmest part around your tummy, in inches!!

I never realised taking measurements was so complicated! :p:
Hai guys, rep if you can sort this out for me - I wanna buy these Topshop jeans but have no idea what the sizes are! Whats 'W2428' is what I mean. I just want a size 10!! :woo:

I'm sure that means 24" waist and 28" leg length or something?

EDIT: Just looked at the site, and I think that's right.. I usually get petites as well and normal leg lengths are 30" or 32", I think.. so yeah, you choose the one with your waist size :smile:

Yeah thats right, just had to convert the size guide from cm to in, thanks...I'll rep tomoro :smile:
I had the same reaction when I saw these, but in store - I think a W28 turned out to be the equivalent of a 10.
Which size is w2834
Do I measure in inches 😃
I want to buy a pair of size 12 jeans from topshop what size would I buy?
I’m a size 6 and fit a 24 - 26 it doesn’t really matter all that much. If you have average length legs but want to roll up the ankles I’d pick a 34 leg length x
