How to Choose the Right Fit and Size for Hudson Jeans

Hudson Jeans organizes its denim by fit family, rise, and inseam, so the fastest way to get the right size is to work through those three filters in order rather than guessing from a single number. Start with the fit that matches how you want the leg to look, then narrow by rise, then confirm the inseam against your height. The site's Women's and Men's Fit Guides and size charts (in both inches and centimeters) are the reference points for the final call.

Step 1: Pick your fit family

The site splits denim by silhouette, and each silhouette is also sold under a named fit. Choosing the silhouette first keeps you from scrolling through styles that won't work.

Alongside the silhouettes, Hudson names individual fits — for women: Bailey, Barbara, Beth, Collin, Courtney, Dana, James, Jodie, Kelli, Nico, Remi, Rosie, Rylee; for men: Blake, Byron, Hendrix, Luca, Rylan, Walker, Wes, Zack. These names are the specific cuts within a silhouette, so if you already know you like one, you can search it directly instead of re-filtering by shape.

Step 2: Choose your rise

Rise is listed as its own filter for women — High-Rise, Mid-Rise, and Low-Rise — and it changes where the waistband sits relative to your natural waist. This matters more than most people expect, because two jeans in the same silhouette and size can feel completely different depending on rise. If you're between sizes, the rise you pick often decides whether you size up or stay put: a low-rise cut sits on the hip, while a high-rise sits closer to the waist.

Step 3: Match the inseam to your height

Inseam is where most sizing mistakes happen, and Hudson flags it in two places:

• Petite inseams for women, listed as a separate category — these are cut shorter for shorter frames.
• 32" inseam for men, called out as its own length option.

If you're not shopping a flagged inseam, use the size chart to compare your own measurement against the listed length rather than assuming a standard inseam will hit where you want. A cropped style is intentionally shorter, so don't treat a short inseam on a cropped fit as a sizing error.

Step 4: Confirm with the size charts

Both the Women's and Men's Fit Guides link to size charts that give measurements in inches and centimeters, so you can work in whichever unit you already know. Measure yourself first, then match against the chart for the specific fit you chose — don't carry a size over from a different brand or even a different Hudson silhouette without checking.

Common sticking points

• Same size, different fit name. Because each named fit (Nico vs. Jodie, Walker vs. Zack) is its own cut, a size that works in one may not in another. Re-check the chart per fit.
• Rise changes the waist fit. A high-rise and a low-rise in the same size sit differently, so judge the waistband by the rise you selected.
• Inseam vs. height. A 32" inseam or a petite inseam is a specific length, not a general "short" or "long" label — compare it to your actual measurement.
• Cropped is not a mis-size. Cropped styles are meant to end above the ankle.
