American Eagle Women's Jean Size Chart
How to Measure at Home
Using a measuring tape, wrap around your natural waist to find your waist measurement. Do not pull the tape too tight while measuring. For the hip, stand with your feet together and measure the widest part of your hip bone.
American Eagle Women's Jean Styles
Mom Jeans
Price Range: $44.96–$59.95
Despite the name, this style of jeans isn’t as unflattering and basic as the options available in the ’90s. The “Mom Jeans” style typically offers a high waist and a looser fit around the zipper and leg area.
Boyfriend Jeans
Price Range: $29.96–$37.46
“Boyfriend Jeans” should be fitted at the hip and loose throughout the leg. They also tend to have a lower rise. These jeans are stylish and super comfortable to wear due to the relaxed, straight-leg design.
Skinny Jeans
Price Range: $39.95–$49.95
Everyone should own a pair of “Skinny Jeans.” As their name suggests, skinny-style jeans are fitted all the way through the hips and legs. They tend to be one of the most flattering types of jeans, as they hug your natural curves.
Tomgirl Jeans
Price Range: $44.96–$59.95
The American Eagle “Tomgirl Jeans” is designed to offer a casual, relaxed fit through the thighs and legs and then taper toward the ankle. They tend to be cropped to leave room for movement and show off your killer shoe game.
Bootcut Jeans
Price Range: $37.46–$59.95
“Bootcut Jeans,” also called “Kick Jeans” at American Eagle, feature a more narrow knee that slightly flares at the leg opening. The key to looking your best in this style is to find a pair that fits snug at the waist and hugs your legs perfectly.
Flare Jeans
Price Range: $37.46–$59.95
Similar to “Bootcut Jeans,” “Flare Jeans” open up at the ankle. What sets this pair apart is that the overall fit is looser, closer to a straight-leg fit. This style looks good on tons of body types and can easily be dressed up.
Curvy Jeans
Price Range: $37.46–$79.95
American Eagle’s “Curvy Jean” is a popular pick. This style is their skinniest fit and comes in each of their high-waisted rises. The snug fit pulls all the attention to the natural curve of the body.
Jeggings
Price Range: $37.46–$59.95
Jeggings aren’t technically jeans but let’s not get hung up on technicalities. Jeggings give you the comfort and stretch of leggings with the look and feel of jeans. Not to mention they have pockets.
TIP: The fit and rise of the jean may sway you to size up, size down, or stick with your true size. Make sure to consider how tight or loose the style is on your legs, hips, and thigh so you can tailor the choice to your body shape.
