Simply take your fingertips on each end of the jeans on either side of your waist and try to twist them around your neck. If we understand it correctly, it is the right size. If we can’t even do that, the pants will be too small. And if it’s too easy and you can even put your jeans on after putting them around your neck, it risks being too big.

In short, it’s good advice to know if a pair of jeans is right for you.
Is the technique of putting your jeans around your neck to check the size foolproof?
This technique looks wonderful and works quite well in most cases. But there is a but. Or even different.
It is best to choose jeans with a rather straight cut and with as little elastane as possible. If you want very stretchy jeans, you may be able to wear jeans that you have trouble riding in at the neck.
This technique also works quite well for jeans that you plan to wear at the waist.. But it is not at all suitable for a very low waist if you have hips, or for high-waisted jeans.
Finally, if you have a marked waist and developed hips, it remains a lottery. So it’s always better to rummage through the dressing room box to avoid unpleasant surprises. This collaring technique should rather help you know which jeans are worth trying. And don’t substitute a trip to a boutique, thrift store, flea market, or garage sale because we would follow this trick blindly, of course. Common sense remains the best style accessory.
