Why is the waist measurement in the description different from the size in the title?
Sizes are determined by the traditional waist measurement, which is taken above the belly button at the narrowest part of the waist. However, many of the styles we carry are low-rise and contemporary fit. Therefore, the part of the torso the waistband will hit is actually lower, closer to the hip, which is why the actual waist measurement will be larger than the “traditional waist” used for sizes. Lower rise jeans will have a larger waist measurement for a particular size. For this reason, we suggest our buyers to measure their waist up from the rise measurement to determine if a particular size will fit.
