What is a UK size 12 in Levi's jeans?
A UK size 12 is roughly a Levi's W30 — a 30-inch (76 cm) waist, equal to a US 30 or EU 40. Levi's women's jeans run narrow-to-true: if you're between sizes or buying rigid (non-stretch) denim, size up one inch; stretch styles will give a little with wear.

Levi's Sizing & Fit Guide
Levi's jeans use waist/inseam measurements (e.g., 32x30). Their denim runs true to size but may shrink slightly after first wash. Sizes shown are based on standard international sizing — check Levi's official size chart for exact measurements.
Levi's Jeans Size Conversion
Levi's jeans use waist measurements in inches (24, 25, 26... for women, 28, 30, 32... for men) rather than letter sizes. To convert to EU: a women's Levi's 26 is roughly EU 34, a 28 is EU 36, a 30 is EU 40, and a 32 is EU 42. For men, Levi's waist 30 = EU 46, 32 = EU 48, 34 = EU 50. UK sizes for women follow the standard add-4 rule from US numeric sizes. The numeric conversion table above gives you the complete mapping between Levi's US waist sizes and EU/UK equivalents.
Understanding Levi's Fit Types
Levi's uses a numbered system for their fits. Popular women's styles: 501 Original (straight, high rise), 711 Skinny (mid rise), 721 High Rise Skinny, 724 High Rise Straight, and Ribcage (super high rise). Popular men's styles: 501 Original (straight, regular rise), 505 Regular (straight, sits at waist), 511 Slim, 512 Slim Taper, and 502 Taper. The fit name doesn't change the waist measurement, but rise and leg shape differ. If you wear a 32 waist in 501s, you'll also be a 32 in 511s — but the 511s will feel more fitted through the thigh.
Do Levi's Jeans Shrink?
Raw and unwashed Levi's denim (like Shrink-to-Fit 501s) will shrink approximately 1-2 inches in the waist and 2-3 inches in length after the first wash. Pre-washed Levi's — which is most of what they sell today — will have minimal shrinkage. If buying Shrink-to-Fit, size up 1-2 inches in the waist and 3 inches in the inseam. For all other Levi's jeans, buy your measured size. Denim stretches slightly with wear, so a snug fit out of the box will loosen to a comfortable fit within a few wears.
