Sizing in Super Slim Kims

I'm usually a size 25. Should I go with a 25 in SSK Drys or would that be too small? I know they'll stretch with wear, but I need to at least be able to get them on!

Might be ok. I'm usually a 25/26 in other brands, got a 25 in SSK, and could not zip up the jeans at all. The hips are wayyy too small. Exchanged for a 27, and they're still tight in the hips but I can breathe. The 25 is really 25" in the waist.. not like other brands, where a size 25 is actually 27"-28" in the waist. A size 26 in SSK would have been ideal for me, since they stretch out. You're smaller then me, so I'm thinking 25 should be fine for you. Good luck!

^Vpan, are you happy with the 27? I hate really tight jeans and am a 25/26, was thinking of going with a 27. Bizzy, who is a 24, has a 27 and she looks Hawt in hers.

Hmm...I wear a 26 in pretty much everything and my size 27 SSKs fit me perfectly.

Oh dear me, I must be losing my mind. Just placed a huge order (huge for me) at Revolve, and cracked and got the Nudie SSKs...in a size 30. I think they may be too big since I normally wear a 27/28 in other styles. But here's hoping. OT: I'm really excited to get them

thursdaydecember: Did the nudies end up fitting?? I'm thinking about getting a pair of SSKs but i'm so confused as to size up or down after reading all the dry denim threads! I'm 27/28 in Paiges and I hear Paiges run small too.

Yep, ive heard of almost everyone sizing 1 up on these. True to size might be good if you wanna account for stretching (though keep in mind that denim w/stretch in it will not stretch as much as say 100% cotton denim).
And well, after the first wash they will shrink back to how they were new, and then stretch again w/wear.
