If you already have a pair of Pikeur breeches, you’ll find a white sizing label on the left inside of the waistband. Look out for the large number in the centre of the label. This is the German size (32-48 for regular sizes or 68-96 for long sizes) and the corresponding size listed on our site which will begin with this number. For example if the size printed on your label is 72, please select the size 72/UK22”L/USA24”L
If you’re new to Pikeur, we recommend using your usual dress size as a starting point. You’ll then find the corresponding correct German size in our size chart. For example if you are a US size 6 or a UK size 10, the correct size would be a 38/UK24”/USA26” or a 76/UK24”L/USA26”L if you decide to take the long.
Shopping from Australia or New Zealand? These sizes are the same as UK sizes.
Most styles are available in two lengths: regular and long. If you are 5ft9"/176cm or taller, we would normally advise you took the longer length size. This gives an extra length both in the rise and the legs. Normally longer length breeches are around 2 - 3cm longer in the leg, but it can vary from style to style.
If you’re still unsure about your size or have any questions about how the sizing chart works, please contact us with the following information:
Your height, waist measurement, hip measurement and the size you would normally choose when buying smart trousers/pants or a dress (for example UK size 10 or a medium). Please also let us know which country you are from so we can translate the sizes correctly. It would also be helpful to know the style(s) that you are interested in, we will then let you know which size would work best for you as soon as possible.
For the more petite ladies, you might want to check out our kid's range of breeches. These work great for many of our customers as the styles are exactly the same as the ladies, but they are cut slimmer on the leg and often a better fit on ladies who find they sometimes have extra fabric behind their knees! Our kid's range goes up to the equivalent of UK size 10 / USA size 6 however please note the larger kids sizes are quite long in the leg, they are not shorter than the ladies breeches.

For more curvy ladies who are looking for the perfect fit, we can definitely help! Certain styles fit better depending upon your body shape. This is why all Pikeur breeches are all designed differently, just like us! If you’ve been blessed with some amazing curves, we generally recommend a higher-wasted style, and fortunately Pikeur has some super styles available.
