Breeches Sizing Guide

Here at My Breeches, we understand that the search for that elusive perfect pair of breeches (much like searching or the perfect pair of jeans!) can be difficult. But this is what we do! And we’re here to help in any way we can.

The first hurdle to get over, is finding the correct size. The best place to start when finding your Pikeur size, is to measure your waist and hips, you will then find below an approximate guide to which size will work best for you based on your measurements, as well as how this equates to national dress sizes, and how the waist size will be listed on the site. This size chart is based on our bestselling style: Candela Ladies Full Grip Breeches.

If you’re over 5.9” or slightly under with long legs, we recommend that you consider taking the longer length, which offers about 2cm additional leg length for the optimum fit for taller ladies. You can also find the equivalent longer length for your measurements in this chart.
